BRIAN MAY IS A SECRET SHREDDER!!!!

[@DukeEnlil]

His guitar playing in a song Cyborg (from his solo album Another World) is another side of him! Great tapping and his trademark guitar orchestrations!

[@woutervansoest1087]

You, sir..are an inspiration!

[@RaptureReady2025]

This is the FIRST video that I watched 100%. Brian May was my number one guitar hero and i experienced everything I could growing up… which wasn’t like KZbin today. So Ty for the nostalgia. And Ty for bringing your musicality to KZbin and for sharing these masterclasses. Imo you are a true guitar hero, and I’ve heard them all. So thank you x 💯

Dude, can you do one of these on Guthrie? I have been trying to learn his improvised "Fives" solo from JTC for 2 years and I just ca't comprehend how it can be done 🤣😂 In any case, I love your videos, thank you for your insight!

[@jfo3000]

The Brighton Rock Echoplex solo was a masterwork back in the day. I first heard a live version in the early '70s on The King Bisquet Flower Hour. Very creative piece.

[@adrienviala007]

Ben thank you again, as always seeing you play and ramble on makes us want to play too!

[@23darknexx]

Man I didn’t know about that solo till now! Thanks for enlightening my musical pallet🎸

[@barnab2003]

he is after all Nuno's favorite guitar player

[@georgemckendrickbryce9863]

As a guitar player that also had his mind blown away by Brian May in the early 90s, I really enjoyed hearing your story man 🤘

[@CounterflowEntropy]

Holy shit, you're the best guitarist I've ever seen, it's good to have you back

[@tymanngruter1808]

Each off us has to listen to the earley days off Queen till yhe Miracle album! You were right again man! Thanx! 🎶🪨🎶

[@TomNomNomDotCom]

Love that solo! One of my other favourite Brian May solos is from The Miracle: Chinese Torture! I remember I couldn't figure out how to get even close to that sound. Years later I managed it with a harmonizer with a +4 and a +7 :) I don't think many people know that Brian May did an album with Eddie Van Halen too: Star Fleet Project. There's some great solos on that!

[@fretburns]

Brian May/Queen incredible band.... as usual,i love your vids ,your playing is always on fire!!!!

[@bentraversmusic]

Thank you 🙏

[@kojam1]

Dragon Attack was INSANE!!! Messed me up as a yute upon first hearing it. The little solo break...WOW!!! The groove...WOW!!!

[@bassstudy]

One of the best melodical guitar players. Thank you for the video.

[@SrdjanPavlovic11080]

Discouragement bit is hilarious

[@JimmySlacksack]

always loved the guitar break on Princes Of The Universe, Brian certainly could motor when he wanted!

[@joshcoxmusic]

Look up Rush - "cut to the chase" ...Alex lifeson is a shredder too. These guys are legends.

[@ContagiousEffects]

legend

[@WizardOfArc]

“Okay slow…” wewweweeweweweweweweewee at lightening speed 😢

[@fatshartspunhouse2403]

Gimme the prize has a very Van Halen like intro too.

[@simonpayne8252]

Brian is best mates with Tony Iommi... what do you expect 😂

[@Andreascarnero]

Which string gauge you use? Love your aggressive picking Zack Wylde style. Cheers

[@GuitarDad76]

👊

[@praudery6249]

And..... Listen to his solo album "Back To The Light"...... And tell me 😉😉

[@reubenrozeyt5716]

Brian May and David Gilmour are the best

[@chrisflabouris6140]

Great work but the jigs up...what guitar pick are you using, does it possess some kind of magic?

[@AytekCan]

If you know what rubato means, yes Mr. May is a big shredder :)

[@1madaxeman]

listen to the intro to Gimme the Prize, or I want It All...

[@777james777]

Brian May says more with less,my favorite, Killer Queen is still tops on my list.

[@itzfast]

The segment you’re referring to in the song Invisible Man is not fast enough to be considered shred. Shred can be defined as alternate picking with hand synchronized skills to reach 200bpm while playing 16th notes. This is not even remotely close to that. It is faster than what you would normally see Brian May playing but definitely not shred.

[@tommilitello198]

Lmao you are nobody recognizable enough to make a definition up for what is shredding,fn hilarious though,maybe you should take up comedy and leave the guitar alone

[@cat_loaf943]

Your comment increased the rate at which my brain rots. Just wow. I'd bet $100 you googled the definition of "shred". You do you, I guess.

[@jfo3000]

Is that AI's definition of shred? Sounds like some AI sh!t right there.

[@jfo3000]

The Brighton Rock Echoplex solo was a masterwork back in the day. I first heard a live version in the early '70s on The King Bisquet Flower Hour. Very creative piece.

[@consequat_Viktor]

May almost never play good😂 Why you are laying to us? Even at studio records, many soloes sound terrible. For example - chek official record "We will rock you". But maybe May is a composer - if he wrotes his soloes, is good.

[@bilalattique]

Brian May is overrated
