EMOTION!
Can I remind you that pauses are part of music as well as notes?

Gotta admit that the both are extremely talented god-like guitar virtuosi. Comparing Gilmore with Fripp in prog is like comparing B.B. King with Eric Clapton in blues.
Music is some kind of art.

ConfusedI was at 3 other concerts of the same tour Big smile

About "EMOTIONS" I suggest reading a book written by a former producer now neuro-scientist:
Daniel J. Levitin - Addicted to Music. 

I found it (the italian translation) as attachment to a scientific maagazine, so I don't have idea of who's the editor and which is the price.

This was a great poll and I hated to see it die a premature death. Maybe some of the noobs and others on hiatus weren't aware of it. Some members whose opinions I most respect didn't even post. Any more room for discussion?

No no, Fripp is easily the most skilled guitarist. Though Gilmour does write some very enjoyable leads, he is not on Fripps level.

If not mentioned before, interesting to see both have recorded with Orb - Fripp several years before DG. Also interesting to see who else these two guitarists have guested as band members, RF for instance with Stranglers, DG with Pete Townshend and Paul McCartney.... etc.

I'm apparently a little late in the debate, but I'll throw my opinion in anyway. It's definitely Fripp for me mainly due to his compositional skills and that he is always trying to move forward with music, you might call it progressive. I'm also a huge Pink Floyd fan but have never been that into Gilmour's soloing because it's always basically been blues soloing with some added flavors/colors. Not to say that I don't enjoy listening to his solos in the context of the songs, but none of them have ever completely blown my mind or anything.

Gilmour took an axe and buried it into Robbie's head. Tongue
Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

It might be a tie on electric.
But imo Gilmour is better on Acoustic (Welcome to the Machine, Wish You Were Here, Dogs)
Also better on slide/ lap steel guitar (One of theses days, Shine On later part, High Hopes)

So Gilmour for me.

I love them both, but Gilmour owns my soul.  My favorite guitar player, bar none.
