Fun fact: Brian doesn't play with a pick, he uses a sixpence, a British coin, and uses the serrated edge to create different sounds from plucking the strings
Brian May's Homemade Guitar, Made From Old Tables, Bike and Motorcycle Parts & More. It's called "The Red Special." Or sometimes "The Fireplace." That's the guitar that Brian May (guitarist of Queen and physics researcher) began building with his father circa 1963, when Brian was about 16 years old
The amazing thing is. He and his father built the Red Special somewhere around 1962-63. There was nothing like at the Time. A fledged whammy bar and 25 fretted neck. And the electronics electronics were very advanced.
This is a variation of the same solo he’s played throughout his career, loads of delay. My favourite May solo is from “Days of our Lives” so much emotion and feel
Well there's a couple main reasons he can't do Brian May: he plays with a coin, which has a profound effect on his tone. He also plays with a guitar that he crafted himself. Even the Red Special copies aren't exactly like his. Lastly, he uses three Vox AC30's which have been heavily modified to Brian's personal preferences. So it's no wonder Steve Vai can't emulate him, nor can anyone else for that matter. Unless you've got the gear Brian has, you're never gonna sound anywhere close to him...
Eileen J.M. Yeah, obviously. As it is with any guitarist. But the difference that Brian May's gear makes to his tone compared to other guitarists is much, MUCH greater. That's why I think that quote from Steve Vai is a little bit ludicrous.
+Eileen J.M. it's mostly about the gear though. If you have roughly the same gear as a certain guitarist and you study their style long enough, you will be able to sound like them; not exactly, but very close. Brian's rig, however, is so personalized and one-of-a-kind that only Brian can sound like Brian because he's the only one in the world that has that exact gear.
Music isn't a competition. If it were there are several I can think of. Richie Kotzen, Gary Moore, Jeff Beck, Guthrie Govan, Philip Sayce, Slash, Richard Fortus, Steve Vai there are literally so many who have warmth and intelligence, not only that but intuition and stylistic awareness. Brain May is an awesome player for sure but there are so many others.
Brian to just such a rock and roll icon. A good person, thoughtful, good sense of humor, talented as hell, and loves music in a way that inspires others. In my top five favorites fur sure.
And only one made before a certain year, I forget which, because after that the metals used were changed and it affected the feel and sound of the coin.
And......when he farted while he played a massive Inflated condom flew across the auditorium with Freddie's juice spitting all over the Pakistani side of the unfortunate crowd. @@Jabber-ig3iw
That little twist of his head when he looks at the audience while he's playing sometimes...you can feel him offering his heart and soul to you on a silver platter. God love ya Brian.
i dont get why people are comenting negatively on this, the emotion and soul he's putting into his playing is crazy, you can shred all day long and probably play better than this but if you just shred the same positions of the same scale like a robot theres no emotion, what this man is playing may be clumsy but he is putting his heart and soul into his music which makes him an amazing muscian and guitar player
When they shred, it's just talentless; however Brian's performance is unreal. It is different but in its own way and that's good. I thought that I heard the solos from many of queens older songs within the solo. It's such a beautiful thing in and of itself and the talent put into this masterpiece is amazing. And to think this is probably improvisational. Absolutely amazing.
Brian May proves the assertion, you don't play music with an instrument. You play it with your emotions. Your instrument simply gets your point across.
This is a how a guitar is played, beautiful, soulful and with so much emotion. Isn't thst the point to feel the music? Well Brian like the rest of Queen played from their hearts. BRAVO Brian beautiful.

This band was aptly named QUEEN ...they were and still are the royalty of pop and rock...I have listened to a lot of guitarists over the years ...some that are incredibly fast or can perform stunning fretboard acrobatics...but Brian May is a true artist in the classic sense...he can squeeze emotion out of every note and composes feelings in song as did the great classical composers..arent too many left like this im afraid
There’s much of a lifetime of love, music, and memories wrapped up in this solo. It’s a gift to us all, wonderfully and beautifully crafted and played.
Yeah i understand why you think this is not the best solo ever....its not the fastest,its not the most complicated shit so its cant be best right ? WRONG....solos,guitar and whole music isnt about speed,about technique or perfection...its about soul,passion and love for playing that music,and This man has all of that and so does this solo.
That big hardrock intro and then he quietly plays a fugue followed by a ballad where every bend, every vibrato, just sits and all that mostly by himself and his effects. What a genius.
I feel like crying listening to this. This solo is making me emotional. What an artist Brian May. I almost cried when they showed Freddie in screen. Long live QUEEN

Seem like people forgot what it was all about.. After have been playing guitar for nearly 25 years, and 10 of them on a professional basis, the following words can be said.. You are NEVER gonna change rock with fast scales and schreddin'.. You will in 90% of the cases only hit a dead end and stagnate as a guitar player.. Nearly everybody can learn how to play scales fast, backed up with tons of distortion.. Be a good guitarists never was/never will be about that.. I can play fast, but i envy people like Keith Richards/Brian may/Jimmy page.. masters of the art of building riffs/feeling and sound of the jazz/r'n b influenced pioneer virtuoses from the 70's.. One day when you grow up as a guitar player, you will also understand that!
You are biased just as the guy you're commenting on. Rock solos are all about playing with feeling and with emotion, and you can express different feelings/emotions when playing slow or when playing fast, and both are valid rock music styles, and YES, fast scales and shredding solos HAVE changed rock. Listen for example to Michael Schenker's solo in Rock Bottom. Michael S. is, incidentally, really good friends with Brian May...

This brings me so much memories... the best memories from the 80's/90's for me are within this solo. In Portugal when we miss someone very much we say "saudade".

Me too! I watch n listen to this one solo over n over while doing my dialysis!! ❤ 76 year old groupie. Discovered Queen several years ago, can't get enuff!
I am 66 now. first heard queen in a car. such a different sound. Freddie what a voice Brian omg!. I love queen it's makes me cry go listen go Brian play. Freddie I still have not heard a voice as his go this day. Bryan I love u . I know your depressed as I. One day I hope go meet u. Your awesome go this day♩😂💖✌🤘
I saw Brian when he attended in London May 2014, the closing night of the We will rock you, musical with the Queen's music, it had glorious 12 year run, and I only saw it 3 times. People were in tears...
One of the best guitarist of all time!!! Such a humble, smart and talented artist, without scandals and bad headlines over the decades. It seems, that his red special is singing to us, telling us a story!
Brian May gives his best in songs - sometimes you can listen to his abilities during his solos, sometimes you have to pay attention to his solos in the background.
BRIAN MAY dude! Is about feeling! Not about fatty speedmasters arrogant shit! This is melody. Not a competition for who hit more notes per millisecond.
Fatty speedmasters?? If you think Mr. May is shitty, I would hate to hear your Godaweful taste in guitar masters. Billy Squire? Justin Bieber? I waste no more time on your dumbass comments
Did you understand my comment? I say that BRIAN MAY is feeling and not a guitar player fatty speedmaster. IDIOT! I ain't complaining. Just saying that I hate speedmaster guys. I like BRIAN MAY. Do you need me to draw the picture for ya?
I admire what I know about Brian May to a great degree...his studious interest in science, his chops (few others could sit down with EVH and keep up that readily, listen to the Star Fleet Project) and his approach to guitar sound...he did not let himself be that influenced by the established tone of the time, he completely sought out his own tone...
Also, there are great guitar technique players, and there are fantastically musical, soulful lead guitar players who don't necessarily have the greatest technique - Brian has consistently presented an excellent ballance between showy technique and pure emotional musicality.
Brian May has something that many others don't, he puts so much heart and soul and emotion into his instrument with his magic hands. Has anyone listened to Bijou?

@@istugh That's right !
This man got to sell guitars and make music
@@istugh physics researcher? Wtf
Brian and his dad specially crafted the Red Special to sustain notes longer and have a larger range.
Amazing.
I really liked how he could actually make it "sing", so beautifully. A sound only Brian May could master.
He has said they made it out of necessity as well because he didn’t have the money to buy a guitar
The amazing thing is. He and his father built the Red Special somewhere around 1962-63. There was nothing like at the Time. A fledged whammy bar and 25 fretted neck. And the electronics electronics were very advanced.
This is a variation of the same solo he’s played throughout his career, loads of delay. My favourite May solo is from “Days of our Lives” so much emotion and feel
They were also too poor to buy him a new guitar.
Steve Vai said of Brian May ""I can listen to any player and pantomime their sound, but I can't do Brian May. He's just walking on higher ground."
Well there's a couple main reasons he can't do Brian May: he plays with a coin, which has a profound effect on his tone. He also plays with a guitar that he crafted himself.

There is a warmth and intelligence to Brian May's playing that I think is matched only by David Gilmour.
This might be just me, but the opening notes from Brian's guitar solo felt very much like both David Gilmore and Brian were there.
Music isn't a competition. If it were there are several I can think of. Richie Kotzen, Gary Moore, Jeff Beck, Guthrie Govan, Philip Sayce, Slash, Richard Fortus, Steve Vai there are literally so many who have warmth and intelligence, not only that but intuition and stylistic awareness.

@@janubis5630 Imagine building one guitar with your father and playing that for 50 years...yeah, I agree that it should stay with him.

Freddie! ❤️❤️❤️🌹🌹🌹.Ma il chitarrista mi incuriosiva! Era così sempre attento,con le sue dolci mani,a far diventare " musica" qualsiasi nota nel mio cervello! E a distanza di anni , dopo la morte di Freddie Mercury ( oggi ho 50 anni)e un piccolo cell.Pochi mesi fa, mi presi la briga di cercare su UA-cam,il nome del chitarrista dei Queen! Ed ecco che arrivò il nome di questo grande chitarrista! Amato e adorato da sempre! Brian May!🤗🤗🤗❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🤗🤗🤗
Brian May is a treasure and we need to protect him at all costs. 💕

What a world to live in, blessed with people like Brian May
I saw Brian when he attended in London May 2014, the closing night of the We will rock you, musical with the Queen's music, it had glorious 12 year run, and I only saw it 3 times. People were in tears...
One of the best guitarist of all time!!! Such a humble, smart and talented artist, without scandals and bad headlines over the decades. It seems, that his red special is singing to us, telling us a story!
4:27 so GOOD ..
Brian May is a Legend
Brian May gives his best in songs - sometimes you can listen to his abilities during his solos, sometimes you have to pay attention to his solos in the background.
His signature guitars are a joy to play. Never was a huge Queen fan, but they were undeniably talented.
All time favourite, greatest guitarist that's ever been
He Is The Most Greatest Guitarist And Uncomparable To Others!
Its amazing how much feel he transitions from that guitar!
Hello, how are you doing? It is nice seeing you here.
9:29 is where every guitarist just goes into a state of pure bliss. This whole solo really, but once 9:29 hits 🤤
Can’t forget about the awesome Last Horizon solo right before it 😁
Last horizon truly is beautiful
What song is it someone pls tell me
@@taeoh2743 it’s called last horizon
Bravo Monsieur ! ❤
INCREÍBLEMENTE GENIAL.... ORIGINAL, ÚNICO...
Brian May, one of the most underrated players of all time. Listen to Queen's first few albums, absolute perfection
Lame
When Brian plays guitar it goes into the classical realm of the Old Masters....eternal & majestical.
Sir Brian, it's an amazing guitar solo. You're the best guitarist ever.
Give me goosebumps, love it ❣️
Dios mío pero cuánta emoción puesta al tocar... Increíble joderrrr!!!
Amazing how Freddie, seems like a lost family member to so many of us.
BRIAN MAY dude!
Is about feeling! Not about fatty speedmasters arrogant shit!
This is melody.
Not a competition for who hit more notes per millisecond.
Fatty speedmasters?? If you think Mr. May is shitty, I would hate to hear your Godaweful taste in guitar masters. Billy Squire? Justin Bieber? I waste no more time on your dumbass comments
Did you understand my comment? I say that BRIAN MAY is feeling and not a guitar player fatty speedmaster. IDIOT! I ain't complaining. Just saying that I hate speedmaster guys. I like BRIAN MAY. Do you need me to draw the picture for ya?
rickho5 haha idiot
Just love this solo. Incredible !
Brian gave us the wonderful songs that are used all around. Awesomeness does not come much bigger than Brian May.
And that ladies and gentlemen is why queen is the greatest. g-d he is good at his craft
Damn that Bijou got me right in the feels. Always takes me back to a time when I lost someone special to me
Beautiful! So moving.💓
Brian May, Astrophysicist, guitar player and awesome person!
Brilliant!!,Brilliant !! Brilliant Guitarist.of all time !!
Brian May is beyond AMAZING!!!! ROCK ON!!!!!
After all these years, when I watch this my heart sinks and my eyes water.
I admire what I know about Brian May to a great degree...his studious interest in science, his chops (few others could sit down with EVH and keep up that readily, listen to the Star Fleet Project) and his approach to guitar sound...he did not let himself be that influenced by the established tone of the time, he completely sought out his own tone...
Absolutely phenomenal. Brian will always be the most awesome guitar master ever. 🥰 Brian & his Red Special & 🥰👑
Thank you for following my page.thanks for the love and support ❤ ❤❤.May God continue to bless you✌✌✌.
ANOTHER GREAT BRITISH MUSICIAN
Magnífico...el sonido de May es único
Freddie Mercury, sarà sempre orgoglioso di aver avuto nella sua band,un grande amico e artista come Brian May👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️
love the sound love the guitar love the drums love queen
sin palabras😢😢 te hechamos de menos freddy eras unico ❤
Un guitariste exceptionnel " THE BEST " , J' adore Brian May .......
Dr. Brian May is the best, most amazing and legendary guitarist all the time to my opinion... ❤️👑 A living legend ❤️👑 I love you Bri❤️
Also, there are great guitar technique players, and there are fantastically musical, soulful lead guitar players who don't necessarily have the greatest technique - Brian has consistently presented an excellent ballance between showy technique and pure emotional musicality.
Great performance
Rock on Brian ❤❤❤
brian may is just a guitar legend at best. No matter how old he gets, he will always be a great guitarist of all time.
Brian May has something that many others don't, he puts so much heart and soul and emotion into his instrument with his magic hands. Has anyone listened to Bijou?
I have and it's just too damn emotional :(
