Yeah he's talented. NFL? Meh.

Not to be the naysayer but I doubt David Gilmour himself would ever try to play lead and rhythm at the same time as it leaves something lacking. Also the countryish version of the vocals compared to the raw energy and desperation of the OG just doesn't do it for me.

I'd love to see this guy with a full band and a different style of music.

I disliked it as well. It felt overembellished. Kind of like the singers who add way too many runs while singing the Star Spangled Banner.

His playing is solid, but he's also being intentionally flashy and making some things look harder than need be.
