Someone to Die For -Brian May Solo guitar lesson/tutorial

A fantastic song and intelligent guitar soloing by Brian May.

My attempt at showing how it could be played.
Part 1: Performance comparison. Song playing in background is copyrighted to Sony music and I use it purely for enjoyment and no financial gain ....just me playing at home etc...

Part 2: Few moments explaining the solo, where to play it, chord sequence and outro noodling...

I used a battered homemade Red Special with Jean Renaud original switches..) into TB-83 treble booster and Doxy amp.
Neck and middle pick-ups on with middle reverse phase.

How do you get this screaming sound? Mainly? Treble booster? Pickups, out of phase? Amp? Distortion? So beautiful... Nice vid.
