May was always a very underrated guitar player. His work, however, is as good as any rocker who ever strapped on a six string. Check out the song “Brighton Rock” on Queen’s third album for verification.

His guitar solo at the end of “We Will Rock You” has got to be one of tidiest piece of effortless six string ever recorded.
I remember reading an interview with Eddie Van Halen as a kid. Van Halen could not say enough good things about May’s playing - both this technique and the passion with which he played.
