We Are The Champions - Solo

"We Are The Champions" is a rock anthem by Queen, written by Freddie Mercury and released on the band's sixth album, News of the World, in 1977. It became a global hit, reaching the top 10 in numerous countries and earning a Grammy Hall of Fame induction in 2009. For electric guitar players, learning the solo offers a focused study in melodic phrasing and the restrained yet powerful style that defined Queen's signature sound.

  • The song was written by Freddie Mercury and appears on Queen's sixth studio album, News of the World, released in 1977.
  • It reached number 2 in the UK and number 4 on the Billboard Hot 100, making it one of Queen's biggest international hits.
  • Voted the world's favourite song in a 2005 Sony Ericsson global poll, the track is a staple of classic rock guitar repertoire.

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.

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.
