The beautiful, searing and singing tone with which Brian May has carved out a career as guitarist for Queen and a great songwriter in his own right.
Achieved by using his custom, handcrafted Red Special instrument which was made from an old Victorian oak fireplace augmented with rosewood (for the fret board) and mahogany. This is then fed into a Treble Booster (usually a modern one made by Greg Fryer) pedal, which is amplified by either the Deacy amp or three VOX AC30s with other effects such as delay and flanger added.
Many players can buy equivelant replicas of the equipment Brian May uses, but very few players can play guitar with the same style and brilliance as the man himself.

Almost any Queen song has a good example of Brian May tone, but the crowning moment of awesome has to be all his parts on Bohemian Rhapsody, especially the first solo where the guitar sounds like it is weeping and wailing.

A sex act wherein you scream into your partner's ear during coitus, causing a loud ringing or tinnitus-like sound to fill your partner's ears - the eponymous "Dial-Tone". First originated in the suburbs of St. Paul, Minnesota.

A song or piece of music thought by its creator to be the archetypal romance tool, ergo, making its female listeners' vaginas wet. Similar to the infamous 'brown tone' but causing different, and usually less stinky, human secretions, the 'moist tone' is a myth conjured in the dillusional brain of poor, talentless musicians, in the vein of emo-rockers or boybands, overcompensating for their small phallus and/or lack of true sexual prowess. Also known as a 'songma'or 'smegma tone.'
Wow, Josh must think that his new hit, 'You Raise Me Up' is going to be the ultimate moist tone when it gets played on Soft Rock 91.78 FM.
