David Jon Gilmour was born on 6th March 1946, in Cambridge, England. \u00a0As the vocalist and lead guitarist of Pink Floyd, he is considered one of the most influential guitarists on the rock stage.<\/p>\n

His music education began at the age of thirteen (lucky for us). Whilst Elvis may have been his primary influence, it wasn\u2019t until the Everly Brothers hit, Bye Bye Love, and a guitar borrowed from the neighbours tone deaf son that he started to play. He still has that guitar.<\/p>\n

David Gilmour<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

In his early years he was seldom seen without a guitar in hand and by late 1962 he had joined a local band, The Ramblers. \u00a0At the same time he was moonlighting with another local band, The Newcomers. By this time Dave was playing an old Burns guitar and a crappy amp but you could tell he was on his way. In 1963 Dave chose to quit school during his A levels as passing meant going to university and leaving the local music scene. He may have come across as shy and unassuming but his appearance got him noticed\u2026. he was referred to as \u201cthe Adonis\u201d by the girls in what would become to be known as the Cambridge mafia and with Dave\u2019s reputation growing, Brian Epstein sent a scout to see him play but decided not to sign him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
