We Are The Champions Pt.2 - Solo

"We Are the Champions" by Queen is a defining rock anthem written by Freddie Mercury, released on the band's sixth album, News of the World, in 1977. It became a worldwide hit, charting in the top 10 across numerous countries, and was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 2009. Learning the solo from Part 2 offers electric guitarists a focused study in melodic phrasing and tone control within one of rock's most enduring and recognisable tracks.

  • The song reached number 2 in the UK and number 4 on the Billboard Hot 100 upon its 1977 release.
  • Written entirely by Freddie Mercury, the track showcases how strong melodic composition drives a rock anthem beyond the guitar.
  • News of the World, the album featuring this track, was Queen's sixth studio record, released in 1977.

Vox AC30

Brian May stacks Vox AC30s cranked to full volume, letting natural tube breakup and the Top Boost channel create the chimey, harmonically rich overdrive that defines Queen's sound. Driven hard by a treble booster rather than pedal distortion, these amps deliver the compressed, singing tone central to May's signature style.

Boss DD-3 Digital Delay

May uses digital delay as a live equivalent to the tape echo (Echoplex) he favored in the studio, adding subtle spatial depth to his solos without cluttering his famously minimal effects chain. The DD-3 provides clean, repeating echoes that complement his vocal-like tone without compromising the directness of his treble booster-driven AC30 sound.
