Queen - Bohemian Rhapsody - Brian May Guitar Tutorial

- In 1983, Star Licks Productions created a series of instructional videos featuring well-known musicians demonstrating their unique musical styles and techniques. The portfolio debuted with a wide-ranging group of players including Steve Lukather of Toto, Tony Iommi (Black Sabbath), Al McKay (Earth, Wind & Fire) guitarist Albert Lee, and acclaimed guitarist/educator Wolf Marshall.
In this video, Brian discusses his equipment and techniques, and demonstrates a number of his guitar solos. He covers both famous and lesser known Queen songs, including Brighton Rock, Tie Your Mother Down, Somebody To Love, It's Late, Dead On Time, Put Out The Fire, It's A Hard Life, Keep Yourself Alive, Jesus, Father To Son and Crazy Little Thing Called Love.
The programme was produced and directed by Mark Freed and Robert Decker, and recorded at Sarm West, London, England. The video was originally released in 1983 and later reissued in 1993/4.
Note from Brian :
Mark initially came to me with an idea for making audio cassettes of guitarists explaining their techniques. It seemed a good one and we arranged to meet and make it happen. But I said ... if we’re going to the trouble of recording this stuff, why not film it as well, and make it into a Video Cassette ?! So we made a ‘pilot’ video, and people liked it, and this became the template for a whole collection of videos which, I think, stand up very well to this day.
Maybe we should do an update ?!

About my new CZcams channel:
The official BRIAN MAY CHANNEL is designed to carry anything on film or video that relates to me [Brian May] outside Queen - to replace all the bits and pieces of music video that are currently around out there with new highest quality versions, and fill in the gaps; and to cover under one umbrella the other areas that I operate in … Stereoscopy, Astronomy, and my animal welfare work through my charity the Save Me Trust. Each of these areas will have their own playlist on the Brian May channel. But the intended pivot of it all is the entirely new part that we’re calling Brian Talks. This section will carry current ‘to the camera’ comments, updates and communications, and I’m hoping it will be a proper ‘voice’ for me, an outlet, as well as a way of glueing together the rest of the channel.

Of course he does he literally wrote it

No es difícil tocar ese solo
@@cross3745 lo difícil fue componerlo y dejarlo en la historia como uno de los solos más queridos!
That guitar solo sends shivers down my spine.
i see what u did there
It makes my body ache all the time when I hear it
it makes me leave you all behind and face the truth
The solo didn't mean to make you cry, if you're not back again this time tomooooorow.
Body's aching all the timee
1:07 that sound is so satisfying.

Ørangey Step 3: Lie down and try not to cry.
Step 4: Cry a lot.
Step 5 : crawl under desk and swallow icecream while listening to bohemian Rhapsody
step 6 : dream to be Brian May
Step 7: try to be Roger because you could never sing like Freddie.

Applying vibrato to a bend while still keeping the bend in tune is one of the hardest techniques to master on guitar and Brian does it so effortlessly goddamn.
I always just use my whammy bar
I can do that yay
@@fuchsia5899how

HSHDJSJKAOPPSLSPEIOPK holy crap
It literally did scare me a little
hey dont ever you make fun of him
Lol 😂
0:36 Brian: to make it scream a little more.
me: *accidentally hears "it" as "you"*
me: yes
Damn girl
Yall thirsty af 🤣
@Rogeretta Taylor awe shit gurl! 😂 too bad,hes a boomer now.
@Rogeretta Taylor 😳oh damn
I wonder what would the real Brian say to this lol
@Rogeretta Taylor i gotchu fam😉
It would be awesome, as of January 22, 2021, Brian may himself made an online guitar course for beginners. Since COVID is still happening. And kids are at home doing online school, I think he could inspire a whole new generation of guitar players, and even make some future rockstars. He could leave behind an even bigger legacy.
He's teaching it just like how my brother teaches me.
Brother: ok so it's actually quite simple (plays the solo but 1/2x slower).
Me: ok (presses wrong strings) that doesn't sound right can you say which string you're pressing?
Brother: (silence) plays song 1/4 times slower
Me: how?...
Brother: plays at normal speed
Me: can you speak
Brother: plays at 2x its speed and starts staring at me furiously.
Me: (presses wrong strings) hmm..
Brother: you're unteachable.
Edit (31/8/2020), (dd/mm/yyyy) just so you know my date formate in case I make more edits: dk why I'm making an edit I'm just bored and I accidentally ran across the comment and made me realized something when I re read that comment.
I actually teach exactly like my brother. This other day my younger sister asl me to teach her math (pre calculus) because she will have an exam in a couple of days. When she doesn't understand, I actually did whaty brother did. I began explaining to her more quickly and getting more angrier. At the end I legit said "you're unteachable". If she has a younger sibling, I wonder if she'd also teache something that she's good at like that.
Yeah, I think everyone do this :c
@@samizewi438 he means strings 😆
Brother : Shows Music sheet
That's how everyone teaches me
@@samizewi438 he must be a trumpet player
great solo.. did anyone noticed he changed the key.???
ShreddinGonzo yeah
Yes
ShreddinGonzo i belive
Yes
the reason the key is not correct has to do with the incorrect transfer speed of the video either to digital or a copy was made at some point and the VCR unit speed was off. Iv'e seen the original back in the day and it is correct.
X: Wow! You play the guitar amazing, ¿Who's your teacher?
Me: well, um... *brian may*
Hehe, yes. Mine too. He is real guitar hero!
i'm the sixty-ninth
X:😮
Am I the only one who really wants to hug him? Like, he is so sweet, he is perfect
And also I love his hands, they’re just to perfect
no,you're not🥺
OMG. samee
My favourite Guitar solo ever!
Devika Nair stairt to heaven best!!!
Comfornably numb
Sweet child o mine for me
@@guerreroeducado9116 noone asked for your opinion he just stated his opinion
@@chevyguy1422 Yet again nobody asked for Devika's opinion in the first place
1:04 Something like-e dis
did he turn Italian there for a second lol
BlackWizards OMG LOLL 😂
Nel mio dialetto si dice così
MAMMA MIA!
Io sono italiano hahah
@@tubozz e pure iooooo
so this man wrote his guitar solo in sheet music? what a legend
Completely agree Brian is a genius , and as a beginner in guitar the one I look up to
But this Solo was written by Freddie mercury actually
@@combuffgaming8492 No Brian wrote this solo. Freddie wrote the guitar riff for the rock section
he made youtube tutorial back in 1983, what a man
step 1: throw your pick away
step 2: play with a 50c penny
I'm sorry but I'm so confused about this penny thing like what exactly does it mean? I can't find it on youtube or google
Penny here is the coin my friend. :)
A sixpence, actually. They’re not in circulation anymore, he has to buy them from collectors.
@@Leonmpj Yes, and I heard that he sold the sixpence enventually.
Sunset Aesthetic sorry you’ll only get it if your a guitar player
Unintentional asmr...
He has the best, most calming voice imo, i love listening to him speak
he’s so relaxing to listen to
Brian you and your band are so just... there’s no word to describe it! I hope you realize how much of a legend Queen is!😍😍✌️⭐️
Brian May explicando el solo compuesto por Brian May tocado en otra afinación por Brian May para que Brian May no lo demande por derechos de autor y no darle creditos a Brian May, es muy listo.
Cristian gomez jaime 😂👌
JAJAJAJJAJAJAJAJA
Hombre, que esperas?,En su cabeza hay algo más que rizos negros :v jajaja saludos.

Demonios gump eres realmente un genio.jpg
Brian May teaching me how to play his guitar solo. Is this already heaven?
Hi, so I just wanted to let you know that I showed my little sister bohemian rhapsody, and the only part she commented on was Brian's guitar solo and she loved it, even though 1. She's only 6 years old 2. She doesn't like rock and roll that much 3. She has never heard of queen before.
Queen is legendary.
Queen is life.
Thank you.
The way he´s holding his guitar...
It looks so soft and easy and just looks good!
His calm voice is just aaaaah I can´t stop listening
1:03 i wanna touch his hair
(edit: Thanks for the likes and comments guys!)
Definitely! Amongst other things
Triple A me too
Everybody wants to touch his hair!😂😂It looks so fluffy😂😂
Rogerina I wanna touch deaky’s even more 😂
@@secretlyamonkey please don't forget me I'm also in the line.
Brian may = god of the guitar
Jimi hendrix, eric clapton, and jimmy page are all better
Skinny Pete tony iommi?
YAASSSS
Hafizh Sidqi you're dumb.
Lorenzo Borges dos Santos Gomes you're dumb too.
This tutorial rift is bloody AMAZING! When I have the time I'll most definitely try to learn this❤
Just got an electric guitar for Christmas... watching this made me cry! Wicked as. You're a legend Brian. One day maybe I can attempt this. Queen rule!

OMG HEY FREDDIE
I've listened to bohemian rhapsody so many times, and it's an absolute masterpiece!! The sheer amount of over dubs on vocals etc is crazy on 70s tech.
Wow this guy should have a band!
He's actually a guitarist from a band called Queen...

Same, fam.
Bohemian Rhapsody fans are pathetic
He's playing it a tone lower than it is on the record. I suppose he can what he wants, he wrote.
Graham Black Freddie Mercury was the lyricist and composer for Bohemian Rhapsody. Not Brian.
Flamestar320 power to the people yeah, but Brian wrote the solo if I'm not wrong
Madden He did not
Tuxic Show proofs g
Madden I'm pretty sure I saw it in a Freddie Mercury documentary here on youtube. Sorry, I don't recall which one though. I could be wrong though.
Thanks Sir I just learned this solo and I wish I could play it to you for tips
Incredible 😻
