Gotta love Brian’s Dad...even tho he was against Brian being in a rock and roll band rather than pursuing his academic studies, he still helped Brian build a guitar anyway....and one of the most iconic guitars in rock and roll history too, as it turned out to be.
...i'll help you build a guitar son, but please don't use it.
imagine if brian never pursued music.. queen would never exist and the world would also have never heard freddie either. crazyyyy
Brian was just too damn talented for his dad to not understand that anything he did would be successful!
Well later on his father actually accepted it
@@dextermorgan1757 that he did. Backstage at a concert at Carnegie Hall I believe. He finally ‘got it’.
My Dad said 'I'll show you how to make a guitar if you let me put my foot on the dinner table.' Deal done.
He looks like he was halfway through changing the lightbulb when the film crew arrived
@@FreeBrunoPowroznik 😁
his old man seems pretty cool
@@brianmay7300 👍..we dig u in Brooklyn
Definitely a display of dominance
Brian often spoke about how his dad was so disappointed in his decision to be a rock star rather than a well educated astronomer and couldn't understand it until he saw them live in Madison Square Garden and he finally understood what Queen meant to the world. Thank God these guys all found each other and became the greatest rock and roll band in history giving us decades of outstanding music! How did we get so lucky to be here with them?
Same type of story with Tom Scholz of Boston and his father. His father just didn't get why his Son was so interested in playing guitar in a band until he attended one of his concerts. Then he realized just how big they had become. Tom is an M.I.T. trained engineer.
Marianne Goodson. WHAAAA?? The GREATEST rock and roll band in history ? You have to be joking .
@@dickjohnson1158 shut up!
@@dickjohnson1158 ABSOLUTELY !!!
Grew up listening to this wonderful music back in the 70s. What a magic time. I miss the 70s tremendously
No one wants to acknowledge that his dad in the video is the main reason behind Queen's sound, considering his dad built the majority of the guitar!
@Naturally Perfect How was Brian May useless? Lol 😂 He wrote so many hit songs for Queen. Queen were all 4 members, not just Freddie.
@Naturally Perfect what is wrong with you, your name makes everything wrong already lmao
@THE HIGHLANDER The specific thing he learned from Rory was running a Treble Booster into a cranked Vox AC30
I think John Deacon's amp the deacy created the unique guitar and bass sound more than the custom guitar. All 4 members of Queen were brilliant. Especially May. The only genius of rock and a damn great guitarist.
@Naturally Purrfect u are on something I swear ahahaha
I used to get a Christmas card every year from Harold & Ruth May until Harold passed. Then I got an apologetic little note from Ruth saying she wasn't up to sending them anymore. Bless them - lovely people. Got a couple of letters from Brian too in 77/78. He used to read all his fan mail x
what year did ruth and harold pass?
@@brianmay7300 has anyone actually believed you are the real Brian May...?
@@brianmay7300 no, because I wouldn’t even think about some weird dude in his bedroom pretending to be Brian May... you have issues, need to sort that out pal
@@brianmay7300 weirdo...
@@Chrissaces1 he tried to con me out of 250 quid and won't back down saying he's Brian May ffs lol
I remember watching an interview of Brian May talking about his dad, he said that his father didn't like Rock music and didn't understand Brian's love of it. Until the day he went to see Brian play. He said to Brian he 'gets it now'. Then Brian got really emotional talking about it. He must have felt soo proud to hear that.
You're right - it was this interview and the question was at 4:33: ua-cam.com/video/XBm1Qfpa_nY/v-deo.html
Good find, felt like I watched it years ago was scared for a minute I was just making it up in my head 😅
A very good interview. I’ve never seen or heard this before.
I think he was more against Brian taking that path (rock music) since he had his degree and a possible career in science, rather than against rock music per se (although he probably thought rock was crap too).
Madison square garden NY
77/78
What a wonderful little piece of family... my father passed away aged 59, when I was 23 years old in 1993. I still miss him.
Sorry to hear that
I understand, I miss my father too.... and I think it will be forever, hearts and souls. Be blessed, all the best🌸
My father passed away in 1994 at the age of 63 an i was 24..I miss him everyday
It was my pop who told me when I was about 7 or 8, that I could do anything in this life.
As long as you put in the effort, and research, and are not afraid to fail.
"That's the real truth of it all, with every success, there's always gonna be many failures. Success is only achieved by the knowledge gained by the very same failures."
Miss that man every damned day!

The world owes a lot of music to Mr. Harold May.
May his memory be cherished

I could have only dreamed.
Ive had the whole lot of it and more on VHS for years and years way before UA-cam came along....

How many old men do you know who stand with their foot on the dining room table? Obviously from an early age Brian was ready for monitor wedges!
Harold May... Great Father and Genius👏👏👏!!!
An iconic guitar indeed from one of the best guitarist of one of the greatest bands ever!
Both men, absolute geniuses!

@@cathdodd5072 This one should be returned to the factory for ... retirement ... you can get a newer, better model for what the price would be for a repair and upgrade - if they even have any of the original parts left.

@@brianmay7300 I am supporting you being returned to the factory for safe dismantling or very extensive repairs
Simply one of the coolest guitars ever built. Nothing else sounds like it, and no other player plays like Brian. Just great.
How that guitar was built with no power tools is remarkable just hand tools and filing and sanding everything that guitar is just a work of art great job 👏
The Special red is an artwork and when played by Brian May it is ART!
Back in about 1980 or 81 my dad helped me build my first guitar. We used an old headboard to make the body and following the instructions from everyday electronics magazine, wound the pick ups ourselves. We cut the frets from fretwire i remember cutting my fingers on the edge of the neck where we hadn't sanded the ends properly. My dad worked in engineering as well. The thing is the similarities end there. Brian's guitar has entertained thousands of people in stadiums across the world whereas my guitar must be rotting away somewhere in my dad's attic.God bless keep rocking Jesus loves you all.
Did you use an old bodyboard to make the head?
No but it would be funny if I did!
@@martinnelson8382 Quite a feat to build a guitar without all the obscure tools and materials needed and in 1981 there was no internet to order from. In 1981 I was employed is a small workshop making banjos and still didn't manage to make myself a guitar.
@@martinnelson8382 my grandpa helped me build my first and only electric guitar too I still have it till today and always will it's the left handed as well I'm right-handed halfway left-handed
Brian's dad reminds me of those fellow Brits who built a glider in the roof of Colditz castle. British ingenuity at its best.
thats an arcane move reference to be sure. young sherlock holmes was a great movie
My Dad always said to me youre a long time dead get out there and make the most of what youre good at and make it better. We worked together for 35 years, he passed away nine years ago. RIP Dad.

This is GREAT! The legendary RED SPECIAL made by Brian and his father themselves. A great moment was Brians Interview about the Queen concert in New York at Madison Square Garden, his father made "his peace" with Brians obsession to make Rock music! Absolute awsome! God bless and your family Brian, please explain my ENGLISH, i am from Germany 🇬🇧🇩🇪
God bless YOU and your family, of course.
What an amazing gift you & your dad shared. What a wonderful achievement.
This video is solid gold.
"I know it's this guitar." Elementary, my dear Watson.
He really loved his Dad, and I think its nice that his Dad was able to come to terms with his Son's choice to go into music. Also that Brian has something very meaningful that will always remind him of his Dad.
436 comments and no one mentions the foot up on the table. Only a true Rock Lord could make it look so natural.
Simple music can make you sing, a simple hug can make you feel better and simple things can make you happy.... hope my simple HELLO will make you SMILE so SPECIAL😊🌹👸👸
Unique sounding guitar. Not another in this world like it. Great story.
Brian, I am so glad you have a video of your dad that is this precious. Simply lovely.

Hi Brian, that may be a sad day for you , but you can still hear your Daddy's voice ...My parents died ten years ago and sometimes it is difficult for me to remember their voices ...But I know one day we will meet again in another space...I send you all my love- God bless you!❤🌈❤

Great to see you have made this available to the public through foot pedals and even the guitar to carry on the legacy. Cheers.
What a dad Brian had. Who I’m sure was a great man and was definitely for a reason for helping his son build his guitar, which would become one of the most legendary and iconic guitars in the history of music being the Ted Soecial.
I highly recommend Brian’s book on this guitar. Fascinating read!
My grandpa built me a homemade left-handed guitar unique shape not a strat or whatever you call it it's our own shape anyway the thing plays like a beauty thnx grandpa
Hey Brian, that's a great video! I am sure your father is having a great talk with Freddie up above.
I see you have constructed a new light sabre...your skills are complete.
Only in my most wildest dreams could I have imagined a father like that
Ever love this guitar !!!!
That’s just wonderful, how nice you and Dad who made the most musical instrument in the world, that’s true , I have a BMG now and once owned a Guild , best wishes to you Brian my Hero 🎸🎸
Thank you for sharing this, Mr. May.
I'm a metal guy and always have been! I never liked Queen's music because it wasn't heavy enough for me. But I have always been a Brian May fan because of his tone and technique! And what he played with black Sabbath was epic.
When you rest your foot on the dinner table level 5000 💥
He looks like he's still pretty flexible for his age.
was nice to see that footage of Harold May I often wondered what he spoke like thankyou
His dad spoke so so POSH .. To build a guitar today with so much info on the internet is relatively easy .. but back then it was sheer genius..

The fact that they only spent 8 pounds for the guitar is mindblowing.
That is one hell of a stance from our boy Harold and hands on bum lean by Brian. People dont stand like that anymore.
thats what fathers did back in the day, my old man bought me a scalextric track and didnt want to pay silly money for the cars so made me one off specials. it was only when i went to a friends house with the best car he made and raced with my friend that i understood, my car would do 2 laps for every 1 that retail cars did and it would never leave the track! if your dad makes something for you it will always be a million times better than any crap thats sold in a shop!
You guys created one of the most amazing instruments in History!!!
This video is amazing.

That slam in the background was from mamma Ruth May. she wants credit for the work on the red special, too.
Its heartwarming to see this little film and know that though Brian May's father was against his son playing rock music, he still took the time to build him a wonderful guitar. Though at the time, his opinion that Brian should stick to acedemia was of course the most sensible one. Yet despite this, he still helped his son realise his dream, which in the end turned out to be the right course. This just demonstrates the love and devotion between a father and his son.
Joyful the sound

Great stuff Brian, and dads' always know best... I take it the only parts in the guitar 'bought in' were the pickups and associated pots and the tuners?
The Pickups Brian bought from Burns guitars. He did make his own originally but they didnt work well, he got too much feedback from them.
Wow, I never knew that Brian's guitar is such a Heath Robinson device! Brilliant! All the very best... Mike.

What a team
What a seriously cool guitar. Amazing work, Brian!
A friend of mine at school said Brian May's guitar was built out of an old fireplace. I didn't believe him, of course. Not at first.
