Brian May
Brian May is the lead guitarist and one of the founding members of the legendary band called Queen band. May is known for his soaring guitar solos and ability to fuse rock and roll and classical music styles. Regardless of whatever band he’s in at the time, his distinct voice is immediately identifiable. Queen as a band was put on hold for almost a decade after Freddie Mercury’s death. On the other hand, Brian May has resurfaced since then, taking Queen back to the forefront of rock once more.
Stevie Ray Vaughan
Vaughan was a central figure in the revival of the blues in the 1980s. David Bowie, who chose Vaughan to play guitar on his new album Lets Dance in the mid-’80s, recalled his lightning-fast fingerpicking. Vaughn was an immediate success, and opening acts included The Stray Cats and Eric Clapton. He died in a helicopter crash in 1990, at the age of 35. He is still remembered as a legendary guitar player.
