Best David Gilmour Guitar Solos?

[Morty]

Pretty much anything. Even the not so great albums like AMLOR has great solos, the guitar work on "Sorrow" is amazing. I do feel that his work on TFC is underrated, but for me some of his best work. It's so raw and emotional.

I completely agree with your number one choice. The solo in "Comfortably Numb" is iconic and definitely one of Gilmour’s best. I also love your inclusion of "High Hopes" and "Time" – both are masterpieces that showcase his incredible talent. Personally, I’d add "Shine On You Crazy Diamond" to my list. The solos in that song are so emotive and powerful. What do you think about it?

If I was going the safe but good answers, I'd say second solo on "Comfortably Numb" and "High Hopes".
For more deep cuts, the acoustic solo he tacks onto live performances of "High Hopes" or the acoustic to electric solo on "Near the End". Gilmour's more melancholic solos really hit me hard
