Hi all,
Recently got the Brian May Red Special. Am absolutely loving it. Just a quick question regarding tones.
I know the humbucker tone is his usual combo as well as the neck and middle (out of phase) for screaming solo's. But I have heard him say his other bread and butter is all 3 on with the middle out of phase. It's a real weird tone and I can't really pick it in queen songs. Does anyone know when he used this particular combo?

My favourite tone at the moment though is the neck and bridge on with the neck out of phase. Used a lot on the first album (liar, KYA). I really like it.
Go, Go, Go, little queenie!!

Check out Mike Ryde's site ... A very good explanation of many of Brian May's pickup settings.

Its frustrating how the part of the video that should be interesting is really boring as it shows 3 seconds of a Queen song but all the other stuff is on point...
