"GOOD COMPANY" APPRECIATION THREAD

Come pay your respects to a song with the greatest guitar section of any "pop" song (pop as in anything mainstream). I dare someone to find guitar playing better than what Brian May did on that track. I've uploaded the dixieland jazz band orchestration at the end of the song

http://rapidshare.de/file...y.mp3.html

except for the rythm section, every thing you hear is his guitar. He never even topped that again. The genius of creating subtle sounds by experimenting with different acts and settings to create melodies is something most guitarists overlook when trying to achieve greatness. Some become highly proficient and from a technical aspect can play better than Brian May but they're not as clever, creative, open minded or receptive as Brian May in. In that sense he really did carry on what Hendrix in the truest sense and expanded on it.


Brian May rocks.

OMG! I'm absolutley appalled by the lack of respect this thread has demanded. I'm tempted to say the majority of you people are really ignorant on the subject of music...
