Brian May
Brian May is the lead guitarist and one of the formative members of Queen’s legendary band. May is known for his soaring guitar solos and his willingness to combine classical music with his rock and roll styles. His signature sound is instantly identifiable, regardless of what band he’s performing in at the time. Queen as a band was put on hold for almost a decade following Freddie Mercury’s passing. But since then, Brian May has reemerged and brought Queen back to the forefront of rock once again.

Stevie Ray Vaughan
Vaughan was particularly involved in the revival of the blues in the ’80s. David Bowie, who picked Vaughan to play guitar on his current record, Lets Dance, recalled his lightning-fast fingerpicking in the mid-80s. It was an immediate success with Vaughn, and bands including The Feral Cats and Eric Clapton toured the opening world. Unfortunately, at the age of 35, he died in a helicopter crash in 1990. Today, he is commonly recognized as a renowned guitar player.
