SOLOS

Legendary guitarist Brian May showcases his melodic playing in this solo. Theorywise, he has a scalar approach, and the solo revolves around the C minor scale (C - D - Eb - F - G - Ab - Bb).
This solo should lend itself to the beginner/intermediate guitarist, as it only has one faster passage.

This solo touches upon all that is Yngwie - the unquestionable godfather of "shredguitar" - swept arpeggios, diminished arpeggios, three-note-per-string runs and the harmonic minor scale. A lot of Yngwie's tone comes from his steady, wide and occasionally very fast vibrato.

Here is a cool solo that's not too fast (suitable for intermediate guitarists) but still yields some cool licks.

Pay attention to the bends and vibrato - and practice this just as seriously as you practice the individual licks. In fact - if you had the choice between great vibrato & bending - and speed, I would definately say go for vibrato & bending!
