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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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 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
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
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.

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.
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.
Unico e grande! Brian May! 👏👏👏👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️Lo ascolto dal...? Praticamente da sempre! Avevo su per giù,14/15 anni.Amavo i Queen! Ma difficilmente mi innamoro dei leader di una band! M' innamorai dell'artista,( chitarrista) Brian May! L'amore per Freddie Mercury, subentro ' dopo qualche mese!Ma poi da allora,non ci fu che passione,solo per i suoi occhi e la sua voce,che mi ipnotizzavano! 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 CZcams,il nome del chitarrista dei Queen! Ed ecco che arrivò il nome di questo grande chitarrista! Amato e adorato da sempre! Brian May!🤗🤗🤗❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🤗🤗🤗
My God, this the most beautiful rock guitar solo I’ve ever heard and I’m 61. This song takes me through so many emotions. When the video was shown the middle of the song with Freddie Mercury, my eyes welled up. God bless you Brian May, and may Freddie Mercury’s live on forever in our hearts!

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...
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...

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!
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". And I miss so very much Freddie and the Queen.. We lived true life at that time. We had true music! To Freddie and all my past friends and family... you're not forgotten!
Hello Christina👏 ... I see that you're a good fan of mine and for this I'm sincerely grateful for your love and support. So you should know, this is my private account for family and friends. Stay safe healthy and happy always as I do hope to hear from you soon. Good day.
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♩😂💖✌🤘
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?
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.
yeh me too peterson, twice in scotland in '79 and 82, the best nights of my life and i got to see john and freddie, as much as i love roger and brian i could'nt stand and watch lambert! 👑✊🇬🇧
EXCELLENT..... JUST MISS ALL OF YOU!!!!,,, I STILL THINK YOU , ROGER AND JOHN SHOULD DO SOMETHING ON YOUR OWN.... LOVE YOU GUYS,,,, MISS AND LOVE FREDDIE,,,,,,
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...

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.

A real guitar HERO
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.

The unique thing in the way Brian May plays I always described it as Joy. The sound has a Joy to it, that you can feel he has and it is infectious.
There are guitar greats.... and there is May... forever... I bow. and so should you!
Guess what guys, music isn't a competition.
no, but stealing a guy's icon is. not cool stealing my icon!
I think it should be ,
H r is the map master
Thank you
But if it would be, Brian would be the winner☺️
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". And I miss so very much Freddie and the Queen.. We lived true life at that time. We had true music!
To Freddie and all my past friends and family... you're not forgotten!
What a world to live in, blessed with people like Brian May
BRIAN MAY IS THE BESTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!
He's a truly great rock guitarist, for an astrophysicist. Or maybe I have that backwards. Nevermind - let's just shorten it to "He's truly great."
Leigh Williams well said. not to mention his love for badgers.
+Leigh Williams I recall meeting his Ph.D. thesis advisor Michael Rowan-Robinson back around redshift 6

His signature guitars are a joy to play. Never was a huge Queen fan, but they were undeniably talented.
"Brighton Rock" was Brian May's greatest solo guitar work!

Sir Brian, it's an amazing guitar solo. You're the best guitarist ever.

Just love this solo. Incredible !
And that ladies and gentlemen is why queen is the greatest. g-d he is good at his craft
All time favourite, greatest guitarist that's ever been
Brian May, Astrophysicist, guitar player and awesome person!
Freddie Mercury, sarà sempre orgoglioso di aver avuto nella sua band,un grande amico e artista come Brian May👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️
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
Damn that Bijou got me right in the feels. Always takes me back to a time when I lost someone special to me
Brian gave us the wonderful songs that are used all around. Awesomeness does not come much bigger than Brian May.
After all these years, when I watch this my heart sinks and my eyes water.
When Brian plays guitar it goes into the classical realm of the Old Masters....eternal & majestical.
Dios mío pero cuánta emoción puesta al tocar... Increíble joderrrr!!!
INCREÍBLEMENTE GENIAL.... ORIGINAL, ÚNICO...
Un guitariste exceptionnel " THE BEST " , J' adore Brian May .......
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
Its amazing how much feel he transitions from that guitar!
Hello, how are you doing? It is nice seeing you here.

Dr. Brian May is the best, most amazing and legendary guitarist all the time to my opinion... ❤️👑 A living legend ❤️👑 I love you Bri❤️
Amazing how Freddie, seems like a lost family member to so many of us.
I'm 3 seconds into the video and loving it. Such a distinctive sound!
Beautiful! So moving.💓
Brilliant!!,Brilliant !! Brilliant Guitarist.of all time !!
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.
Great performance
Rock on Brian ❤❤❤
Why isn't this the first trillion viewed video in the world yet???
I was lucky enough to see Queen perform live twice, both while Freddie was still alive. This guitar solo is unbelievable to witness.
yeh me too peterson, twice in scotland in '79 and 82, the best nights of my life and i got to see john and freddie, as much as i love roger and brian i could'nt stand and watch lambert! 👑✊🇬🇧
Me to, i saw them Early in thier carrer the first tour in the US and later in the
late 80s, amazing
Brian May, one of the most underrated players of all time. Listen to Queen's first few albums, absolute perfection
Lame

JeTiXz :D

I will give absolutely everything i have , i had , and will have , if i can just hear Bryan May live till the time i have left to live on that planet.
EXCELLENT..... JUST MISS ALL OF YOU!!!!,,, I STILL THINK YOU , ROGER AND JOHN SHOULD DO SOMETHING ON YOUR OWN.... LOVE YOU GUYS,,,, MISS AND LOVE FREDDIE,,,,,,
WOW Thank you for the reply....greatly appreciate it very much.. XOX
You should post this on a video posted by Queen
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...
