Similar to the Freddie syllable thread, just for Brians guitar work. Not really looking for favourite solos/riffs but if you want to mention them that's fine.
A couple of mine would be the opening of "Keep Yourself Alive" - always reminds of a plane coming in to land for some reason...
Also in "Action This Day" from Live At The Bowl, about 35 seconds into the song, between the verses Brian does come cool syncopation ,which I think is very effective in the live delivery of the song.

"Save Me" solo. If I must be more specific, the opening, after the clean work.
I love the guitars on White Queen.
They’re so many great things about Brian’s guitar & technique. My favorite sound he achieves is in the guitar solo for “Lazy on a Sunday afternoon” & the entire guitar sounds in “Long away” simply amazing.

The solo in Great King Rat, with the wah pedal.
Three solos. I'm not able to rank them.
These are the Days of Our Lives
It's a Hard Life
Made in Heaven
These are the Days of Our Lives
It's a Hard Life
Made in Heaven
Ooh, where to start!!!
Probably the "It's A Hard Life" solo, and the second part of the solo in "Save Me"
oh, and "Sail Away Sweet Sister" and "Too Much Love Will Kil You " solos too!!!

GOOD COMPANY
Ya, watch that bit about Good Company on the ANATO Classic Albums DVD and you'll see what Brian was able to do. Hahaha, fussy guy, no wonder he needed 12 years to complete the Back To The Light album.

Yeah, I love that part as well - it gives such a groovy edge to it, don't know how to say it right, it's just really... cool. That puts it best. I always rewind the DVD and watch it several times, great stuff. Often the smallest things have the greatest effect.
Another part that I really love are the 4 superpowerchords leading to the outro solo in "Hitman" when Freddie sings, "Let the fun begin" (?), they just float out of the speakers so full and thick, a wall of guitar.

That would be because a Phase Shifter is used...they mimick the sound of a jet at take-off/landing on some settings.
