  David Gilmour is living proof that you don&apos;t have to spit out a million notes per second to be a great guitarist. &nbsp;Is he the most gifted guitar player ever? No, probably not, but is he the best guitar player ever? Absolutely.

  “I have something...that music just comes to me”. Humble as the ground, magic like the sky.

  Asking Gilmour ‘how do you bend?’ is like asking Van Gogh ‘how do you colour?’.

  Gilmour&apos;s voice while singing and talking is my greatest stress reliever. 💙💎

  I honestly have no words for how his playing affects me, it’s almost like a drug flashback, I feel almost stoned. David’s playing affects my brain in a very similar way, I get both Euphoria and a feeling of deep relaxation at the same time, it’s a drug I never want to quit.

  The humility and the quiet introspective nature. Really wonderful.

  On 20 June 2019, Gilmour auctioned 120 of his guitars for charity, at Christie&apos;s in New York, including his Black Strat, his <a href="https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/0001">#0001</a> and early 1954 Stratocasters, and his 1955 Les Paul. The Black Strat sold for $3,975,000, making it the most expensive guitar ever sold at auction. The auction raised $21,490,750, with the proceeds going to the environmentalist charity ClientEarth.

  Every time I hear David play I thank God for giving him the gift that carries me away. And I thank David for being willing to share his gift.
