Hampton, London, UK · Guitar · Vocals · Songwriting
Queen guitarist; Red Special + AC30 layered harmony leads define the band’s guitar choir.
Why this hub
Born 1947. Co-founder of Queen. Homemade Red Special guitar and Vox AC30 stacks produce the wide stereo harmony leads on mid-70s albums. Continues with Roger Taylor on later touring lineups after Mercury. Constant: tone architecture and harmony arranging more than shred speed.
