🎸 Welcome to episode 10 of this series and the iconic guitar solos from Queen's “The Works“ album! 🎸 In this video, we dive deep into the legendary guitar solos from Queen's 1984 album The Works! Brian May’s unmistakable tone and creativity shine through every track, blending hard rock, melodic passages, and emotional depth. Each solo is a masterclass in guitar craftsmanship, and this breakdown brings you closer to the brilliance behind the music. Here’s what you can expect: Tear It Up – Fast-paced, raw energy. A signature May rock anthem. Man on the Prowl – Rockabilly vibes with a twist of May’s magic. I Want to Break Free – Melodic, yet packed with emotion, complementing the song's iconic pop-rock feel. Hammer to Fall – A heavy-hitting rock solo with soaring leads, echoing Queen's earlier hard rock sound. Keep Passing the Open Windows – A versatile, energetic solo in one of Queen’s more overlooked gems. From blistering rock tones to smooth, bluesy licks, each solo showcases Brian May's virtuosity and unique style. Whether you’re a die-hard Queen fan or a guitar enthusiast, this video will take you on an unforgettable journey through the solos that helped shape The Works. 🎸For the distinctive multi layered sounds of the guitar harmonies, I have used a special little amp made by Manuel at DoxyWorld, the Supersonic Doxy. This replicates exactly the tone of the Deacy amp, a unique creation of John Deacon used by Brian May throughout his entire Queen catalogue. The other guitar sounds are replicated with IK Multimedia's AmpliTube 5. 📌 Timestamps: 00:00 - Radio Ga Ga 01:18 - Tear It Up 03:00 - It's A Hard Life 03:48 - Man On The Prowl 04:24 - Machines (Or Back To Humans) 05:47 - I Want To Break Free 06:22 - Keep Passing The Open Windows 07:17 - Hammer To Fall 08:41 - Is This The World We Created...?
