More to come of course.
Riffs, solos, jams? Whole songs or albums even.

Though not a rich a sound he covers alot of metal ground here

Brian May is one my favorite guitarists...He is very underrated. Here is one of best songs off the first Queen album- when they were thinking of going Heavy Metal. Great guitar and drumming (Roger Taylor) "Great King Rat"

I don't know how to "Load Media" (Except my photos) so here is the link; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VHC85XWII7E (Thank you 2.5...It worked- even with me doing it (I fixed computers at Atari back in '82...'puters have never forgiven me for that)



Side note; Brian plays a guitar he and his father built...It has been scanned/X-rayed numerous times to try and figure out why it sounds like it does....A combination of amazing talent- both he and his father, in building the guitar and playing it.

Joe Walsh has a sound all his own.
I have often said that any band that Joe Walsh ever played in sounded just like... Joe Walsh.





I also like Joe Satriani. "Shredder Extraordinare".


Brian May also has a sound of his own, as already mentioned.

Happened to read an article regarding the unique guitar sound of Brian May and Queen.

Apparently Brian uses extra thin banjo strings to get the flexibility to make his guitar scream.
