Great guitarist, my favorite. Also has some things out there that are not very well known and some people have made their own Youtube videos recreating some of his guitar work that shows the painstaking detail that he put into it

Brian May & The Czech National Symphony Orchestra - One Night In Hell

My all time favorite Queen song is a Brian May song called "All Dead, All Dead" from the News Of the World Album. There is a middle section that sounds like an organ or mellotron or something but is actually May creating a 15 part guitar orchestra. That little section is just about one minute long but the guy that created this video shows the painstaking work May put into it - "All Dead, All Dead" tutorial LINK

Correct and the following link will take you to a 40 minute video for the launch of the book Brian May wrote about the history and building of his guitar and he does a fair amount of playing in the video also and goes over his use of delays LINK

Brian May, Roger Taylor and Paul Rodgers made an album of all new material in 2008 called "The Cosmos Rocks" which I thought was pretty good. I might have been one of few people that actually purchased a copy LINK

The video for "Warboys" is blocked in the link above but can be found here LINK

Queen - Some Day, One Day from Queen II - written and sung by Brian May (background electric guitars always reminded me of Jimmy Page Zeppelin III style guitars) LINK

Queen - Good Company from A Night at the Opera - written and sung by Brian May and the Dixieland Jazz Band is actually Brian May creating the sounds of those instruments with his Red Special Guitar; damn near a genius - LINK

Queen - Leaving Home Ain't Easy - written and sung by Brian May - a favorite of mine - LINK
