Brian's Trickiest Solos

Question for all you Queenzoner musicians out there:

Which Queen song has the hardest/Trickiest solo to play?

Here's my top 5 Tricky Queen solos:

1. Dead on Time
2. The Invisible Man
3. Stone Cold Crazy
4. Tapping intro to Gimme the Prize
5. Chromatic run on Innuendo (the spanish guitar by Steve Howe)

How bout yours?

Mine are probably:

1 The Invisible Man
2 Bohemian Rhapsody – The part just before the operatic bit
3 Dead On Time
4 Death On Two Legs
5 Seven Seas Of Rhye

defo the invisible man. doesnt seem to be anything but bri just going nuts.

Anything he plays, cuz I cant play guitar worth a shit ^^

Death On Two Legs
Gimme The Prize
Stone Cold Crazy
Put Out The Fire
Bijou
Leroy Brown
Dead On Time
It's Late
Princes Of The Universe
Brighton Rock
...


Brian told once in an interview which one was the most challenging guitar solo for him. Can't remember which, but it was not a in Queen song.

The trickiest solos I were able to learn (so-so) was "You And I" and "...Black Queen"

Princes Of The Universe
Gimmie The Prize
Dead On Time
Bijou (really hard to get the feeling)
Its Late
Invisible Man (with a sixpence)

Didn't Brian have trouble playing one of Eddie Van Halen's tapping greats, whereas Ed struggled with Its Late?

Headlong, Flick of the Wrist, Brighton Rock, Dragon Attack (especially where the rythm & lead tracks switch), Hammer to Fall, I Go Crazy

I always thought Breakthru was pretty complex.

PD: I think the solo Brian mentioned was from "Garden of sound(s?)". Don't know what it is, so it could be a song or a band.

the invisible man solo for me it's the trickiest

PD and STL: I also remember that interview, and I'm sure that the song / solo he mentioned as being the most complex he ever played was never released.
Quite a clever reply, because now no-one can judge how demanding his most difficult solo really is.

He said he always had problems with the first Bo Rhap solo :)

YEah, there is those ascending guitar runs in Breakthru which you have to be quick at playing. Those gave me some trouble when i first tried to play it with the record. The hard part to brian's playin is that he hits every single note dead on by playing with the sixpence!

Bijou for sure..and Gimme the Prize..the end part where it sounds like he's playing along side bagpipes..I'm sure it's just Roger breathing.

"He said he always had problems with the first Bo Rhap solo :)"

You mean, the runs before the "nothing really matters" part, I assume? Almost every live version has a perfect solo before the opera section.

It's surprising that nobody's mentioned Was It All Worth It. That solo has some great major runs that go right across the top 5 strings, doing a F, D/F#, G, E/G#, A... walking bass kind of progression. Always loved that one.

And I've always loved the double-tracked tapping bit in I Was Born To Love You.
