For those who remember the 70’s, it’s an other-worldly experience to have one of the greatest guitarists of all time pop up on your handheld device and give you a guitar lesson for one of the greatest songs of all time.
@@Linkmarine777 I disagree. He was very influential and important to the band with a huge deal in their succes, but a great guitarist? Meh, he wrote some incredible songs but technically he was mediocre and usually too wasted to even play normally just like Hendrix. It`s hard to say who`s the greatest but i`d rank Shawn Lane and Buckethead easily in the top 5 for both song writing and technical skills. Maybe throw Van Halen in there together with Malmsteen and i`d still have one very hard to fill spot with so many great players out there....
CPolishing is right. I’m not a huge Queen fan but I recognize Brian May as a living legend. I would definitely rank him as “one of the greatest guitarists of all time”. Not top 5 and probably not top 10, but recognizably great none the less. Newer players like Buckethead, Petrucci and HermanLi are technically impressive but they aren’t inspiring new players to the level that May, Page, Clapton, Nugent, Hendrix, Blackmore, Gibbons or Slash have. We’re not claiming any of their ranking, rather simply that May is a guitarist worth recognizing out of the history of everyone that’s ever picked up a guitar.
@@thomasjones5537 Well, music is a very important part of my full and happy life, Thomas... You can see many people agreeing with my comment... Internet changed everything - those of us who grew-up without it can fullly appreciate all the precious information that is now at our fingertips !
For some reason i got teary eyed at the end here, Brian May himself just walking you, hand in hand, (and laughing and pointing out intricacies in it as well) through one of the most sensual solos. One of the best in pop music at least
We are so blessed to still have him here with us doing such a simple thing that is beyond the word cool😎 Thank you so much for sharing that with us please give us some more. PLEASE
the licks starting at 1:17 so interesting how he chose to end it by pre-bending the string at 1:20 and again at 1:26. So accurately I would never have guessed it without seeing it. Precise pitch too.
never heart and seen any greater, superb and sympathic man in public- and a guitar hero playing his own built instrument and by the way nebst musical carrier getting a academic title. much respect dr. may
What a great blessing. Like he had us over for a bite and sat down in the floor and said the staggering word "So can I show you how to play Rhapsody??", as I pick my jaw off the floor. Lol. He's got a right to be among the most arrogant people on the planet but he's got such kindness in his voice. This was very warming to watch. Thank you for posting.
I was about 9 when I started hearing the early music. I always wanted to play like this and when I was about fourteen I picked up the guitar listening to this music. These lead solos we're in the background of my mind throughout the early 70s. Eventually I learned how to play and how to do pull-ons and pull-offs and all the fancy stuff. I really appreciate you coming onto RUclips and sharing your talents far as I'm concerned you made the way for people like me to come and play the guitar. This was the sound that I was trying to emulate
You rock ,you’re the best, taking time to show all of us your geniuses. I am 65 and have not played since I was on n a cover band In then 80’s …and yes played some Queen then.getting back into and finding you here giving essentially lessons blows my mind.A million thanks you’re a legend.Also enjoy your videos on your take on what’s going on in the world. Brian you are a down to earth guy, if your ever in Jersey the drinks are on me. Best of health and good things for you man👍
Very electrifying! Thank you. I still recall in my memory January 1976. Bohemian Rhapsody was number one in the charts! I hit six years of age! I lived for music since I was four! Now I am happy as a 52 year old to enjoy music even more than ever!
It was #1 for such a long time, and they started clipping it short on TOTP, because it took up half the show (seemed like). Never got bored with it though, unlike some, Mull of Kintyre anyone? Or, I am Sailing?
A tremendously talented guitar player but more importantly a wonderful person. Saw you and many other great Rock Bands in the 70's. Queen was one of the best live performance of them all. Thanks so much 🙏
Awesome that he did this. I’m sure there’s a trillion perfect tabs for this song, but other times tabs get botched and it’s great to have a direct source.
You've always been my favorite guitarist forever. Just now learning to solo and I'm thrilled to have you as my teacher! God bless you Brian. Sincerely, Johnny Rocket and Chrissy Stardust of Blonde Bombshell band.
Avrei pagato oro ai miei tempi poter sapere, soltanto immaginare cosa o come l'avrebbe suonata Brian May la sua canzone il suo assolo la canzone dei Queen. Adesso che la tecnologia ce lo dimostra, LUI insegna a noi come fare. Lunga vita a te grande chitarrista di tutti i tempi, che avete regalato l'immenso con la vostra musica. Grazie infinitamente grazie e grati a voi. Un piccolo fans nell'immenso popolo dei GRANDISSIMI QUEEN. E immensamente grazie a chi lo ha condiviso. 🙏
Imagine being told in the 80s that one day you will have Brian May in the palm of your hands on a miniature TV like device giving you a personal lesson on how to play the Bohemian Rahpsody guitar solo 🤯
yeah....... i would have replied with "yeah.... get fucked.......... as if " LOL back in the 80s they were untouchable gods in the heaven's There was no you tube there was no V.I.P. Package There was no Meet and Greet I mean unless you were a cancer patient and your dying wish was to meet Brian May, and even then...... LOL No.... Meeting them was unheard of , Let alone having a personal guitar lesson No.... No way in the world Now, i ironically have personally had an amazing experience (just quickly) Jimmy Page and Robert Plant Long story short I used to work at a pizza shop in western sydney maybe around , ohh i don't know , perhaps 30 years ago, give or take we used to go down to a local bowling club where this bar maid used to work, she's a friend of mine WHAT I DIDN'T KNOW LOL for a very long time was She was the cousin of Robert plant. one (i think ) new years, it could have been Xmas though, can't remember i'm pretty sure New years eve or maybe a few days after new years, i asked her what she did for the holidays , she said , time with the family , she pulls out some polaroids ( which meant... she had pictures taken from a polaroid camera.... GOOGLE IT ) and in one of them is robert plant, my drink almost went up my nose when i saw it i remember thinking it was a carboard cut out LOL (Because we had that shit in the 80s, My sister got a photo once taken with Madonna (cardboard cut out) so i figured that was that. but no... She was roberts cousin so anyone , i eventually go to meet robert AT HIS HOUSE (Amazing huh ) anyone, the price i paid was this ..... - No photos' - No Autographs - no talk of stairway to heaven of course i agreed to behave anyway it was supposed to happen the following year when they came back from touring and had their family time and she was going to get the ok from Robert that she was "Bringing a friend" to the family get together so between Led Zep not coming home for 5 years and her stringing me along I WAITED 6 YEARS (i had almost given up hope that it was going to happen, to be honest) then she said, ok you came come this year, it was like 2 months off , i was over the fucking moon (as you can imagine) anyway , the deal was , i was to come to the house and basically just say hi to robert and i didn't expect anything further because it was his family time, i was respectful i said hi this and that, and was ready to leave. Robert then invites me to the BBQ, i can't even explain what i was thinking. one one side, i didn't want to impose and be rude, on the other side, hell yes i wanted to stay ,but only if i wasn't being rude i ended up staying there around 4 or 5 hours , we had a cool time, Needless to say i cannot even fucking begin to explain the level of cool that this was on and (it wasn't discussed ) but Jimmy was at the party as well. my conflict was LOL, i wasn't allowed to talk about stairway or tell him how cool i thought the song was and all that so i tried really hard to shut up. i introduced myself, i started talking about how i'm a guitarist and this and that and how they influenced me greatly etc etc, Jimmy ends up giving me like a quick 10min lesson I mean... fuck me...... I got to hold and play Jimmy's Les Paul so yeah... GETTING BACK TO THE POINT OF GODS i had to sell my fucking soul to make this happen and even then it wasn't really guaranteed and then it sort of sprung up out of the blue just as i thought it was never going to happen and yeah..... it then did but now... having brian may give us a personal tutorial in his shorts LOL like you said...... WHO WOULD HAVE THOUGHT IN A MILLION YEARS THAT THIS WOULD HAPPEN no fucking way but .... it did Anyway , i forever have a fucking cool story to tell the grandkids and then i have a slew of people who will call bullshit on it .... LOL who gives a shit at the end of the day through a freak coincidence in life and as a result of meeting a bar maid that i thought was a regular person , this turns into that and this goes with that a suzanne (LOL... I HOPE YOU GET THE REFERENCE) AND THEN WHAM... and suddenly life takes me to the home of Robert plant and in what universe did i ever think that would happen ? NOT A SINGLE ONE Now, in my line of work, i've met many celebritites, but i'll be honest, Robert and Jimmy were one of the one's that i could truly say were fucking awesome some that i met didn't mean much to me , others were not a big deal, others were just part of work and the normality of it but this , this was beyond cool and i will forever be thankful to the gods of rock that aligned the planets to make this even possible but back to brian yeah , it's one thing for me to have had what i had and how hard that was to happen BUT THIS..... WE DIDN'T EVEN ASK FOR THIS SO YEAH.. THIS IS TRULY AMAZING and the fact that you can have any celebrity rock god doing this James hetfield Jon Bon Jovi it's truly amazing anyway, i'm gonna shut up now LOL sorry, it was meant to be a quick comment, i got carried away but hey , i generally do when i tell this story because you can't just say i met robert, People won't believe it, it sounds like bullshit
Hey Mr. May, you are the Man. I've been wondering around the fretboard 30 years to work that out. To hear it from the horses mouth, sorry horses, 😂. Amazing. I'm only sending this to acknowledge my connection with the universe, you were part of. Thanks Bri
I have never learn the guitar. I could be a brilliant neurosurgeon or cure covid and still having not learnt the guitar would be my biggest regret after following Queen and Dr May for as long as I can remember.
when he hits that slightly mistaken note and says "AH!", that's adorable :D This man is a legend and should represent mankind when aliens will invade the planet
Hey Brian....thanks for being such a wonderful humanitarian. We all owe you a huge applause! Well done Brian... you're super! PS: You may want stop with fake smiles.
Amazing that Brian doesn't get talked about enough as one of the greatest rock guitarists. I hate to use him as an example but his melodic lines and ability to make the guitar sing like an operatic soprano, is far superior to George Harrison. And most consider him a brilliant guitarist. So glad genius Brian has come back strong from all his health issues. He is such a quality human being and humanist needed badly in these uncertain times.
Its mainly bc then hed be up there with the likes of hendrix, gilmour, jimmy paige etc who are all definitely a level above him in writing both riffs and solos
@@headphoneman10 Sorry but I don't consider Hendrix, Page, and especially Gilmore better at writing or playing riffs than Brian. Of course Hendrix was amazing. But while his solos are technically fantastic, he doesn't make the guitar sing like Brian. Everyone in Zep were brilliant players. An all star team of great musicians. But I would still rather listen to Brian do a solo than Page. But his riffs are out of this world. I don't see Gilmore as great as some others. Plus he is an ahole like everyone in that band. In prog, ELP, King Crimson, Yes, and Rush were so much better than Gilmores girls.
@@rman52 are u joking? Whatever u think about him as a person, david gilmours solos ar some of the greatest of all time. The solos on songs like comfortably numb, time, mother are incredible. Sure shine on u crazy diamond, probably the most iconic prog song of all time is mostly just a long gilmour solo. And also hendrix wrote a lot of great riffs, theres a reason many ppl still consider him the goat
Interesting! I just found this after trying to play along with Bohemian Rhapsody for the first time. I was surprised to find it’s in Bb so I guess Mr May must have tuned up a semitone allowing him to play open A/D/E shapes.

"Oh man, someone doesn't share my opinion..let's insult him"

anyone else surprised by his use of “snapping on and off” instead of hammer on and pull offs?
I think I’m going to start using these terms as well!
I love that he's explaining hammer-ons and pull-offs, just in case anyone that's not a guitarist wants to learn the solo. Just genuine
The one and only Brian May.
I like the way he says “plucking.” My 4-year-old grandson calls a guitar pick a “pluck.”
It’s a pluck-trum lol.

Imagine being told in the 80s that one day you will have Brian May in the palm of your hands on a miniature TV like device giving you a personal lesson on how to play the Bohemian Rahpsody guitar solo 🤯
yeah....... i would have replied with "yeah.... get fucked.......... as if "
LOL
back in the 80s they were untouchable gods in the heaven's
There was no you tube
there was no V.I.P. Package
There was no Meet and Greet
I mean unless you were a cancer patient and your dying wish was to meet Brian May, and even then...... LOL
No.... Meeting them was unheard of , Let alone having a personal guitar lesson
No.... No way in the world
Now, i ironically have personally had an amazing experience (just quickly)
Jimmy Page and Robert Plant
Long story short I used to work at a pizza shop in western sydney maybe around , ohh i don't know , perhaps 30 years ago, give or take
we used to go down to a local bowling club where this bar maid used to work, she's a friend of mine
WHAT I DIDN'T KNOW LOL for a very long time was She was the cousin of Robert plant.
one (i think ) new years, it could have been Xmas though, can't remember i'm pretty sure New years eve or maybe a few days after new years, i asked her what she did for the holidays , she said , time with the family , she pulls out some polaroids ( which meant... she had pictures taken from a polaroid camera.... GOOGLE IT )
and in one of them is robert plant, my drink almost went up my nose when i saw it
i remember thinking it was a carboard cut out LOL (Because we had that shit in the 80s, My sister got a photo once taken with Madonna (cardboard cut out) so i figured that was that.
but no... She was roberts cousin
so anyone , i eventually go to meet robert AT HIS HOUSE (Amazing huh )
anyone, the price i paid was this .....
- No photos'
- No Autographs
- no talk of stairway to heaven
of course i agreed to behave
anyway it was supposed to happen the following year when they came back from touring and had their family time and she was going to get the ok from Robert that she was "Bringing a friend" to the family get together
so between Led Zep not coming home for 5 years and her stringing me along
I WAITED 6 YEARS (i had almost given up hope that it was going to happen, to be honest)
then she said, ok you came come this year, it was like 2 months off , i was over the fucking moon (as you can imagine)
anyway , the deal was , i was to come to the house and basically just say hi to robert and i didn't expect anything further because it was his family time, i was respectful i said hi this and that, and was ready to leave.
Robert then invites me to the BBQ, i can't even explain what i was thinking. one one side, i didn't want to impose and be rude, on the other side, hell yes i wanted to stay ,but only if i wasn't being rude
i ended up staying there around 4 or 5 hours , we had a cool time, Needless to say i cannot even fucking begin to explain the level of cool that this was on and (it wasn't discussed ) but Jimmy was at the party as well. my conflict was LOL, i wasn't allowed to talk about stairway or tell him how cool i thought the song was and all that so i tried really hard to shut up. i introduced myself, i started talking about how i'm a guitarist and this and that and how they influenced me greatly etc etc, Jimmy ends up giving me like a quick 10min lesson
I mean... fuck me...... I got to hold and play Jimmy's Les Paul
so yeah... GETTING BACK TO THE POINT OF GODS
i had to sell my fucking soul to make this happen and even then it wasn't really guaranteed and then it sort of sprung up out of the blue just as i thought it was never going to happen
and yeah..... it then did
but now... having brian may give us a personal tutorial in his shorts LOL
like you said...... WHO WOULD HAVE THOUGHT IN A MILLION YEARS THAT THIS WOULD HAPPEN
no fucking way
but .... it did
Anyway , i forever have a fucking cool story to tell the grandkids
and then i have a slew of people who will call bullshit on it .... LOL
who gives a shit
at the end of the day through a freak coincidence in life and as a result of meeting a bar maid that i thought was a regular person , this turns into that and this goes with that a suzanne (LOL... I HOPE YOU GET THE REFERENCE) AND THEN WHAM... and suddenly life takes me to the home of Robert plant
and in what universe did i ever think that would happen ? NOT A SINGLE ONE
Now, in my line of work, i've met many celebritites, but i'll be honest, Robert and Jimmy were one of the one's that i could truly say were fucking awesome
some that i met didn't mean much to me , others were not a big deal, others were just part of work and the normality of it

but back to brian
yeah , it's one thing for me to have had what i had and how hard that was to happen
BUT THIS..... WE DIDN'T EVEN ASK FOR THIS
SO YEAH.. THIS IS TRULY AMAZING and the fact that you can have any celebrity rock god doing this

Jon Bon Jovi
it's truly amazing
anyway, i'm gonna shut up now LOL
sorry, it was meant to be a quick comment, i got carried away
but hey , i generally do when i tell this story because you can't just say i met robert, People won't believe it, it sounds like bullshit

But while his solos are technically fantastic, he doesn't make the guitar sing like Brian. Everyone in Zep were brilliant players. An all star team of great musicians. But I would still rather listen to Brian do a solo than Page. But his riffs are out of this world. I don't see Gilmore as great as some others. Plus he is an ahole like everyone in that band. In prog, ELP, King Crimson, Yes, and Rush were so much better than Gilmores girls.
@@rman52 are u joking? Whatever u think about him as a person, david gilmours solos ar some of the greatest of all time. The solos on songs like comfortably numb, time, mother are incredible. Sure shine on u crazy diamond, probably the most iconic prog song of all time is mostly just a long gilmour solo. And also hendrix wrote a lot of great riffs, theres a reason many ppl still consider him the goat
@Zombie Frogg true, he is good but he is overrated
No way Harrison beats May
Interesting! I just found this after trying to play along with Bohemian Rhapsody for the first time. I was surprised to find it’s in Bb so I guess Mr May must have tuned up a semitone allowing him to play open A/D/E shapes.
a Legend doesnt even need a pick to play this legendary solo
