	Play like Brian May
		Brian is famous for his great guitar tones, but because his sound is so distinctive, it is rather difficult to copy.
		Brian's main guitar tone uses the bridge and middle pickups together in phase, which gives a very warm rich sound, similar to that of a humbucker.
		Brian is able to write songs in a wide variety of styles, but being a guitarist, his work is often quite guitar-oriented.

		Few rock guitarists possess a playing style as instantly recognizable as Queen's Brian May. With his orchestrated guitar armies (multi-tracked guitar lines overdubbed on top of each other) and instantly memorable, well-constructed melodic leads, May is in a class all by himself.
		May's first full-length solo album was preceded by the single "Driven by You," which reached the Top Ten in England and was featured in a Ford car commercial -- winning an Ivor Novello Award for Best Theme From a TV/Radio Commercial.
		May's contribution to rock guitar remains great as his playing has proven to be a great influence on other renowned rock guitarists past and present, including Billy Corgan (Smashing Pumpkins), Ty Tabor (King's X), Nuno Bettencourt (Extreme), and Phil Collen (Def Leppard), to name but a few.

	Pickup Wiring Modification for Brian May Guitar: Series to Parallel Mod (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
		Brian May, on the other hand, decided to wire his pickups in series (see Figure 2), which means that the output of one pickup is fed into the input of the next.
		The wiring method that Brian May came up with is really ingenious, because so many sounds are possible with his system.
		Brian also thought it would be interesting to design a switching system that would allow a guitarist to change all three pickups from a series to a parallel configuration with a single flip of a switch.

	Brian May : Star Fleet Project - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
		Brian May's Star Fleet Project is one mysterious album.
		And Brian's "friends" on the album include session bassist Phil Chen, REO Speedwagon drummer Alan Gratzer, and none other than Eddie Van Halen on second guitar.
		It doesn't take a genius to predict that Star Fleet would be a guitar-heavy album, and it is, with lots of over-the-top guitar duels and songs based on soloing rather than memorable compositions.

		Rock icons may appear, to some people, to be egomaniacs in a world where hype reigns supreme and every whim is pandered to.
