Roger Water’s lead guitarist Dave Kilminster
It takes some guitarists a life time to win the respect and acclaim of their peers, but not Dave Kilminster. He was named Guitarist Of The year in 1991, as a relative unknown, taking his first steps in the music industry.
It wasn’t Kilminster’s back catalogue of hits or his world renowned live show that captured the imagination (he didn’t have any of that back then; he was still working for IBM), he simply took the critics’ breath away with his playing style and technique.
The magazines weren’t the only ones to get behind him; he soon found himself invited to teach at the Guitar Institute in Acton. From that moment onwards Kilminster’s career would begin to blossom leading him to tour the world with his heroes Keith Emerson and Roger Waters.
Kilminster is not the sort of guitarist to stay in one place artistically. By taking every opportunity that came his way Kilminster has gotten the chance to work with an illustrious list of artists in variety of different styles and sub-genres. As a solo artist he has continued to push, innovate and evolve his core sound from the expansive prog of his debut LP.
