Tony, if you haven't heard this before, it's a good example of how wind
instruments can be simulated with guitar. It's Queen's "Good Company", with
Brian May playing the guitar:

Everything you're hearing instrumentally is just guitar, ukelele, bass, and
drums. Brian used a treble booster similar to my Keeley Java pedal to
simulate clarinet, trombone, trumpet, etc. Pay particular attention to the
"jazz band" bit at the end of the song. Interesting, huh?



Certainly is interesting. I like that bit at 1:05, very un guitar-like. It runs quietly through most of the song, and sounds like an organ to me.

"No Synthesizers!" You mean those triads? Guitar.
SFAIK, the only keyboard instument on any Queen material
ever was piano, and only by Freddy.
