WOW, I admire anybody who can build their own instrument and make it sound amazing.

Nice, yeah I love that pic... to me it just embodies what he was all about. He created his own sound by building his own guitar and playing it differently then anybody else... him and Freddie were an awesome blend of sounds. Deacon and Taylor were great as well... Deacon especially, awesome bassist/song writer. I did a bit of research on how Brian got his sound but never went too far into the workings of his guitar, I do own the burns version of it and I have fun with it.

when theres a good solo thats flashy and showy and is really awesome with a song, thats what the song calls for.

exactly. He said in an interview he tries to avoid just playing the vocal melody as a solo because most of the time it's lame. He always searched for that counter melody that wasn't there from the start but felt like home when it was.
