David Gilmour

David Gilmour, an old school friend of the troubled guitarist, was drafted to help the band complete their second album, 1968's Saucerful of Secrets. While the Pink Floyd sound was unquestionably invented by Barrett, it was Gilmour and his lyrical, blues-based guitar work which provided the new Pink Floyd with the sonic signature that would carry them into the Seventies.
