Brian May's solos bring chills down my spine.
Quinton Fisher you mean shivers down my spine
2008sbaman43 bodie'
s aching all the time
Body’s aching all the time, goodbye everybody I’ve got to go...
*Send shivers down my spine you
*shivers
If guitar solos were colours, Brian May's would be the most vibrant.
He’d own the entire electromagnetic spectrum lol
Wow! That's the best way to think about it
Somebody asked how Brian knew so much about music. He answered:
'Music isn't rocket science, I know it cause I love both'
Brian May is like the er...Freddie Mercury of guitar playing. As a guitarist I can understand how good he is-- the best. Makes me wonder what a drummer thinks of Roger Taylor and a bassist of John Deacon.
Most likely the same. These men mastered their instruments.
as a guitarist, bassist and drummer I can safely say that this band was the best band in the world, all of them just had this chemistry which simply did not exist in most bands. John's bass went with Rogers jazz playing very well, and Brian's playing went literally with everything, he knew when to play his part which most guitarists dont do and eventually end up playing a ton of absurd shit. I admire how people compare Freddie to God, I mean God's good and all but he's no Freddie Mercury
i just wanna say, i love ur last statement haha well put :)
I'm all of them and its just a miracle that they formed with the best players for the band
+Tony Ramone haha thanks :D
Brian knows how to make his Red Special : talk really fast, talk slow, sing, cry, rock, sound like an orchestra, an opera, an old violin, a choir,like it's coming from space, like it's taking you to space etc etc etc and he's the only guitarist in the world who can do that..
Brian may is my favorite guitarist. Man i wish i could meet him
gamer kaleb I have!
@@willbarbero lucky bugger
My dad has in a vet😂
GamerKaleb02 Me Too
It’s been 4 years, have you met him yet?
The fact you’ve absolutely nailed the vibrato on all of these solos is something else
Suprising to see someone called Big Oof arround here

@AGBALLER 2k yes brian may is brian may no this man whothink he can make the sound os guitar from brian may he is bad
I like how he is playing on the red special
*a red special, not THE red special
Eddie Bingham well,not even Brian’s one is THE red special,he plays on a copy too
@@MarcoBMark-rt6ke I thought he only had a copy in case of damages on tour?
@@MarcoBMark-rt6ke he actually does play on the original
@the meme king- who told you that Brian plays on a copy and doesn’t play the original? He does have copies as back ups but in general he plays his original one.
People can argue about who the greatest rock guitarist is. For me, it's Brian May. Great job on this!
Brian May is the Zidane of guitars... so talented, classy, elegant and absolutly legendary
cardinez and occasionally headbutting opponents? 😂😂
Just so everybody knows, I've become a huge fan of Queen because of this video. This is where I've learned about some of their best songs. Hands down, these are the greatest covers of Brian May solos. Period.
wow thank you, that's an incredibly nice thing to say.
Hehe period
Pure Unit ikr what a chad
You have a red special of profile Photo and i have a Gibson les Paul xd
@@willbarbero It is true!
Brian may is such an iconic guitar player
1:26 - 1:48, one of my favorite solos of all time, you nailed it.
Great Tone and playing,nice job.
Brian May is one the most underrated players in the last 30 years, he's up there with Hendrix & Jeff Beck, in my book, you recognize who is playing within 3 or 4 notes.
Shoot me, but to me nobody is as good as Brian in the rock world! I'm a huge Hendrix fan, love Beck too but Brian is genius and such a pioneer too
Straight facts brother everything you said is spot on
Correct!
SuperStig23 in the last 30 years his playing wasn’t as amazing as with Queen
@@BrettSmithDaniels the recognition is generally due to the red special and Deacy amp, as well as his ideas with guitar layers. While Brian was very skilled at actually playing guitar, he is not to close to Hendrix and other god-like guitarist in my book if you're comparing only skill.
There's only one person on this planet who can these tracks better..and that's Mr May.
One of the most underrated guitarrists of all time.
these solos give me liiiiiffeee
BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!!

Vibrato technique actually sounds a lot like Brian May's vibrato technique to me. Great work sir.
I've listened to Queen all of my life that's why, but I write my own songs too. Love all of Innuendo as an album, a lot of input from Brian on that one
I mixed up the names Brian May and James May and fpr a solid minute I thought "I didn't know they played guitar on Top Gear, too"
Haha! One is a British guitar player who played with Queen the other is a British car journalist who drives really slow and is entertaining by how uninteresting he is. 😂
anyone else find this therapeutic? xD
+Aldana Pineda depends on what sort of condition you have :)
+Joe Michaels á
Everybody who ever had a quitar in his hands knows that this pure perfection!!! Thank you so much for this!!!
That guitar looks like the red special. I remember watching this 5 years ago and I didn’t know what this was but then I started listening to Queen music. Thank you very much for making me a queen fan for 5+ years. ✊ respect.
Everyone kinda forgot that Brian was also into physics
Pandji T is*
He's an astrophysicist. I think he also has a phd on it, although i'm not sure.
Octo Pirate yea he formed queen while in school, dropped out for obvious reasons, and just finished a few years ago
Kinda interested 🤣🤣
@@matt391 yes he does
Insane talent.
Brilliant!! Great Playing! :)
10 dislikes? 10 jealous people!
there's always one ;)
James Rundle It’s 95 now!
95 incels - or maybe not that much, i don't think incel was a thing 7 years ago...
I am jealous i put a like 😍
I like your videos
so great...sometimes i think to get the brian may "flavour" you gota get those cheeky slightly off beat bends just right..
The “Can’t stop me now” just made me feel happy
I love brian may solos
He is epic
Will my man, I stand before you and bow!!!! That is without doubt the finest tribute compilation of solo's I have ever heard!! I am a bass player/singer/keyboard player (The latter very badly though. In fact if it was my main instrument, I'd starve!!) This year that is about to come in a matter of days, I will be gigging 41 years, 37 of them professionally. In all that time, I have never heard anyone come this close to Brian May!! My love of Queen stemmed the pre Queen days with Brian, Roger and Tim from their "Smile" days and now at 54, I'm every bit as big a fan as I was back then, but without blowing my own trumpet and apologies if it seems that way, but I can assure you I'm not, I know my shit when it comes to Queen, their sound, especially through the Freddie (God rest him) and John's chapter of the group. So you my friend have ticked all the box's when covering Brian. Many congratulations Will and much respect!! Very best wishes and kindest regards from Ireland......Sean
Thank you Sean, those are really nice words. Like you, I am a huge fan and if anything, the older I get the more I get into their music. It takes fine ears to appreciate their songwriting, musicianship and production skills in full. I started playing the guitar over 20 years ago after listening to Brian's solos and I guess his style of playing became second nature to me. All the best and thank you again!
this is amazing, thank you for sharing! Freddie and Brian be proud
This must be the greatest CZcams video to ever exist.
Thank you, very kind but but probably not true 🤣🤣my more recent Queen stuff is much better than this by the way
@@willbarbero IK. Your dedication to playing all the solos in Queen's discography and other solos is just amazing.
Excellent! Great job!!! That tone is so buttery sweet! I loved Brian May since I was 8 years old. Now I'm 14 and I'm still addicted to that sound. I have to work on some of those tones.
Cheers!
Mini May
Very good solos of Brian May , Mr Will Barbero Thank you for the work .... Good continuation for you ..
Queen Forever
Loved every moment of this!! "I want it all" and the "Brighton Rock solo" in particular! Nice work! :)
Superb playing and THAT tone. Awesome.
I am so impressed. This is fantastic!!!!
Holy crap! All of Brian's best solos and you did a fantastic job on every single one AND nailed his sound/tone. If you're not already in a Queen tribute band, you really should consider starting one! You would sell out every show!
haah thank you. The difficult thing about Queen tribute bands is finding a singer!
@@willbarbero tbf I dont think any Queen fan wants to hear a singer even remotely sound like Freddie, as long as they are a good singer and do the songs justice
Really great playing of one heck of a guitar player!
Fantastic playing ... absolutely spot on keep up the good work .
Simply fantastic!!
Congratulations!!! I love your tone and your playing. 100% Brian May
Dude you're amazing!! Great job!! :)
Fantastic playing, Brian's solos are awesome, you've done then justice.
Wonderfull collection of fantastically executioned solos! Thankyou
Great tone amazing playing
That guitar sounds like no other!
Old video I know but you, sir, have a gift! Thanks for sharing!
Amazing! Love it... Very, very good!
THIS GUY IS THE BEST?!?! ROCK ON 🤘
Amazing !!!!!!!!!!
Perfect job! And an excellent reminder of Brian May's gift for writing a memorable, melodic solo with no wasted notes! Superb.
Stunning use of delay on the Brighton Rock solo
That Tone is amazing!!!
you are really good. tone and skills combined.
Thanks for playing. It was joy.
Man...i'm just...SPEECHLESS!!! Amazing tone, playing, feel...Hail to you!!!

Lol I think my neighbours would disagree
awesome! :D
Great video he is an absolute idol
Fantastic, great playing.
PART 3 - will start working on it soon. What solos would you like to see featured?
I've been a Queen fan since the age of 11, I listen to Queen (and only Queen) since then and in my opinion your guitar solos are the best ones that can ever be heard on CZcams, absolutely stunning. Some of my favorite solos were featured in both part 1 and part 2, but there are two solos of Brian May that always sends shivers down my spine which are those in "You don't fool me" and "Too much love will kill you". If I can think of any other, I will let you know. Just wanted to add that I love the different video styles of part 2, making the black and white version for "These are the days.." makes you deserve the respect of all Queen fans. Thanks for these solos!
Thank you so much, I love the solo in You don't fool me, and it's definitely going to be there! :)
the great king rat solo and the death on two legs solo would be cool the hear.
Death on two legs is gonna be there! :)
Will Barbero great!
don't take any offense on those stupid comments, you rock mate! one of the best seen so far!
I literally just started guitar because of the influence of Brian. I can’t seem to get the chords down and I don’t feel like I would be able to get the notes down. But sometimes when I feel stupid for even trying the guitar, I listen to Brian and his solo’s and it really helps. It encourages me to keep going even if I sound like shit.
And one day I wanna be able to play his Bohemian Rhapsody solo even if it takes months of practice. I wanna get his guitar as well! Or at least something that’ll last longer than the one that I have now.
Brian is truly an amazing person. Great guitarist, an activist for the animals, and truly cares for people and the world. He’s my idol.
Great do of the Brighton rock solo well done good sir.
UPDATE - New video is ready. Just need this to hit 100k views :) Please share, +1 and retweet :)
you're there, over 100k allready, sweet tone m8
did you use the vox ac30 as well? sounds amazing! brian would be proud if he sees this
no it's all done with the Axe Fx Ultra
All the Brian May imitators forget one thing: his Unique (use of) vibrato. Now that is really what makes his sound. No one can imitate that, for god's sake.
I am not an imitator. I just play music to the best of my abilities including music from Queen & Brian May. Now let's hear you.... ;)
Will Barbero keep telling yourself that.
50,000MilesBeneathMyBrain Looks like you keep your brain 50,000 miles up your own ass.
He's not Brian May, easy as that. He's trying to play his solos and he like to play his solos. Don't say that stupid things.
Will Barbero you use a guitar guitar like the one that he uses, your tone is very similar, your technique sound like him, and you´re playing his songs, i guess you are an imitator
This is bloody amazing!
Amazing, epic guitar sound!
Good stuff mate! I've just got a 2002 Burns Brian May guitar so I hope to grab some of these licks. Cheers! ;0)
why didn't you use Queen's Killer Queen?
+rojas366 because I'm using a backing track without guitar on it
+Will Barbero oh ok. good video 👍
he did
@@wisl0972 he ment by the original recording
@@willbarbero smart person bro
Excellent job..!
Wow! Excellent! Great Job !!
E bravo Willy!!! Non sapevo di questo lato May...
alessandro barbetta ma come no? Il mio numero uno da sempre!!
W-O-W.
Okay. I'm a Queen fan since 1986. I've seen quite a few guitar players doing solo's from Brian....lot's..dozens! After seeing this first part: you're in my top 3.
I'll watch your part 2 now. I'm very curious if you can become my personal favourite number two or maybe number one. Just maybe...you ARE the greatest! ;) We'll see! See you in part two!
Lol how old are you?
@@suckyourmum9121 could probably tell by his username
@@dazolty141 smartass 😂🤓🧐
Excellent work!
Sounds amazing
The best thing ever recorded in 144p
@@ThePFRG He made a mistake. It's important to make mistakes sometimes, because then you LEARN.
Because now he knows that it's 720p or whatever you said.
So don't fucking hate on random people please.
very good work sir! 75 dislikes? 75 jealous people!!
Wow so original
Fantastic!
you are great
I AM THE GREATEST
True, which are the scales mostly used by Brian?
Brian has often stated he prefers to "play across the chord" rather than just stick in a scale. ie his solos are built on chord tones with scale tones acting as "linking notes"
Play the game is from 1980 not 78
Fredrik Jelkefors who cares for minor mistakes, his solos are fucking close to the real thing
I do.
Me too
On my single it says 1980
And killer queen is from '74
Fantastic work sir! Very well done!!
you absolutely nailed them! well done mate, awesome job!!
