Well my favorite is Duane Allman, always has been, then Eric Clapton, then Brian..so he's in Great company..for me.

I like Brian's playing best when he plays very emotional, lush, orchestrated melodies that evoke incredible feeling as in TATDOOL, LOML, Las Palabres De Amor.

But I also like how he can make his guitar sound sort of exhuberant, very rhythmic, and bouncy almost as a duet voice to Freddie's singing as on Killer Queen, Bicycle Race, AKOM...

and of course Brian's awesome rockin' fireworks on One Vision, Stone Cold Crazy, Hero, Tear It Up...
