Hi Guy!
How did you feel in the Whitesnake? Were you a real member or just a session musician behind David Coverdale and Adrian Vandenberg?

Guy, among the many great talents with whom you've had the opportunity to play, Kevin Gilbert's Toy Matinee is probably unknown to many. Do you have many recollections of working with Kevin, and if so, can you talk about this extremely talented (and tragic) songwriter and guitarist?

Hi Guy.....i'd love to know the answer to this question!

When you played Live In Venice in 1989 which ive watched a million times over,
David Gilmour approached you whilst you were in the middle of your bass solo during 'Money' and shouted something down your ear.
Whatever he said made you laugh,David walked away and you carried on with your solo.
Can you remember what David said to you?

Guy!? Have you ever snorted coke off David's bare chest?

OR

In seven words (or multiples thereof), what's Nick Mason really like?

Have you ever met Roger Waters, if so what was that like?

How does performing with Bryan Ferry differ from performing with David Gilmour/Pink Floyd?

If you could swap your playing on any original Pink Floyd record which one would it be and why?

Thanks for taking the time Guy [-D-]

I would love to know if it was Guy's ciggie that set off the smoke alarms at The Lowry in Salford on his "My Bass..." tour?

Cheers

You've worked with many famous and influential guitarists in your career.
If you could play like any other guitarist, who's guitar skills would you most like to have and why?

okay, my question was deleted, it was a joke, obviously not very funny...

my real question for Guy Pratt is:

How often do you type "Guy Pratt" on youtube and what do you make of it?

Thanks Guy for your contributions to our favorite band.

My question is what music do you really enjoy that might surprise your fans...?

Who are you listening to these days that you expect would really surprise your fans..?

Don't know if this has already been asked, but as a session musician do you get much creative control over what you do?
