How Brian May Got THAT Tone on Bohemian Rhapsody | Friday Fretworks

[@alistairwallace77]

Brian May’s father deserves to be in the rock n roll hall of fame (certainly the dad hall of fame)

[@arottie4097]

[@mgraemem]

Indeed.

[@bunnspecial]

What did his father do for a living?

[@gabrielagregory1017]

@@bunnspecial He was an electronic engineer with British Aerospace. He worked on the Concord. When Queen played Madison Square Garden, Brian brought his parents (and his wife and baby) to watch and flew them by Concord, since his dad had not been able to fly in the plane he helped design.

The look on that guy's face when Brian starts to play the Bohemian Rhapsody solo is just priceless.

[@djnathaniel2699]

I'd say him, Marty Friedman, and Pat Metheny are tied for being the most melodic.

[@steveymoon]

My goodness, Chris. That opening Bohemian Rhapsody solo was absolutely spot-on. Thank you.

[@clintbowers5524]

Brian May is one of if not the best guitarists in modern music history. You did a great job in recreating his sound.

[@marinedalek]

Sounds pretty spot on - I'd say the only differences would be down to mic placement in the room vs the plugin, and a healthy dollop of 50hz mains hum (plus hamonics) causing intermodulation distortion on the original.

[@NewHopeAudio]

As great of a player as you are, you are equally a great storyteller and historian. Thanks for sharing this.

That's pretty close to the original Chris! 😎👍 I also noticed Bri's picking sits between the neck and middle puckup - as you are undoubtedly aware: where you pick the string has quite an impact on the sound / harmonics produced by that string. It's all about finding the sweet spots 😜

[@maxcuthbert100]

Any chance of a video about Rory Gallagher ?

[@sambhavjainn._]

I'm never gonna be able to figure out how Brian May phrases his solos so well.

[@UkuleleBobbyKemp]

Great Job Chris 🙏 Out of interest, I did the sound on BBC's 'Story of Bohemian 🎸Rhapsody' and we had Brian + Red Special (and Roger), for a full day in the original studios, (Rockfield in Monmouth). One funny story, was that the original guitar stopped working a few years back, so his tech guy completely dismantled it. It was Literally *Full* of tiny Sixpence 💿 shavings, which had to be Hoovered out before it would come back to life again!... 🤣😲 Another high point was sitting with the guitar myself for a few minutes, while everyone was finishing lunch... amazing memories!! Love your playing too brother - pls. keep doing what you do!... Bobby 🥰 🙏🏻

[@dckstrat90]

haters gonna hate. It sounds great

[@jeremylatta9038]

It's very very very close! I think the only other aspect of the tone would be Queen recording to tape and the room / mics that were used. It's also hard to know how old Brian's strings were (though I'd imagine they'd be pretty fresh if they're recording an album).

[@MatthijsKoningstein]

Brian May is simply one of the greatest players ever.

[@luizansounds]

He gets consistently underrated, it's a shame BCS his sound is so unique and his technique complements it so well

[@yeknommonkey]

Rolling Stones top 250 seems to be mistaken about this obvious fact.

[@duffman18]

He was the Chancellor at my university (Liverpool John Moores) while I was there, and so I've got a photo of me in my graduation gown and the square cap thing standing next to Sir Brian May, and that's one of my most treasured photos I've ever had taken of me. Everyone was getting photos with him, of course. But I couldn't help but gush over him because of how big a fan I've always been of his ever since before I could even talk, because my mum would always play Queen songs for my entire childhood. I just had to tell him that I think he's one of the greatest songwriters to ever live. Because everyone gushes about his guitar playing. But not enough people talk about how much of a genius he is at songwriting. The fact he could stand toe to toe with Freddie and he just as good a songwriter as he is astonishing really. Kinda reminds me of how George Harrison HAD to learn how to get great at songwriting because he had to compete with the two greatest songwriters ever in the same band. High amounts of pressure, creates diamonds. And the same thing happened with Brian May. The Prophet's Song is the best song Queen ever recorded, and that was a Brian May one. I've seen Queen live a few times, some back when they had Paul Rodgers as singer, and now a few times with Adam Lambert, but they've never played the Prophet's Song sadly. Maybe it's simply too difficult to perform live. One of the things that they say astonished them about Freddie was that when recording vocals he could just go in cold, with no guiding vocal or a note played on the piano, and yet he'd sing perfectly in tune, every single time, without fail. It's almost impossible to do that. And the whole middle part of The Prophet's Song requires that because it's all just Freddie (and Adam Lambert if they did it live) singing perfectly in tune with himself, using a delay pedal, and creating harmonies with your own voice that way, and so if you're even a little bit off, it can go completely wrong, and when the band come back in to play along, you have to had stayed perfectly in tune for all those minutes of solo singing as otherwise it'll sound like the band have come in on the wrong key or something. So it's a hell of a difficult task just to do in the studio with unlimited takes, let alone to somehow do it live. I think the only way you could do it is if Adam Lambert had a guide track playing through his ear monitors that nobody else could hear, so he could use that to sing along to and stay in tune. But it'd still be difficult to do even with that. But anyway yeah, it's amazing really, you could easily do an entire concert of only Sir Brian May songs, none of Freddie's or Roger Taylor's or John Deacon's songs, and it'd still be a fucking brilliant gig to watch. He's so underrated as a songwriter. People only ever talk about his technical skill as a guitar player, his unique tone, the guitar he custom designed and built himself out of a fireplace, and the fact he's an astrophysicist with a doctorate, but they never seem to talk about how he's one of the best songwriters to ever live, which he is.

[@johnm2012]

In interviews he comes over as a genuinely pleasant, modest man too.

[@fonkenful]

And in the dozens of interview clips I’ve seen so far, and his Instagram presentations on the subjects of astrophysics and stereoscopy, comes across as not only a humble genius, but consummate gentleman; an incredibly rare combination these days.

[@Momentum88]

What a great sound. Thanks for sharing 🤘

[@VeniceKing1]

Hey Chris, always wondered - do you play much acoustic? Loved the Crossroads instrumental you posted a few years back!

[@fototripper]

Pretty damn close. Your tone seemed to have a bit more mid range but that's not a bad thing.

[@ChrisM541]

Nice one. I though there'd be a touch of Schenker here....a half open Wah pedal (which will also get you in a similar tonal ball park). I suspect May's guitar (and the copy you play here) have suitable switching combinations that do something similar with the EQ.

[@scoutgirl7739]

Pretty close Chris. Sounds great. Can definitely hear more air in Brian's tone, to be expected from the real amp, but guitar rig never disappoints either

[@bjornd9375]

Important: AC30 normal chanel and silver-speakers I own a '63 and '65 vox AC30

[@CornholeNetwork]

Awesome stuff. The only difference I could hear was more boxiness in the original tone probably from the cabinet I would guess.

[@jbbeaudry]

Tonewise you got pretty close. Impressive. Much less sustain though, probably because it’s not the same guitar and the sound level on your monitors wasn’t high enough to feedback. And some very small details in the right hand, attack etc. Which shows how every player is different. Thank goodness for that

[@akwamarsunzal]

Well, that was fun! You were so so close! There is an "edge" to Brians tone though that was missing in yours. Maybe mids need tweaking a bit? Hey, what do I know, I have never, would never, try and recreate Mr May´s tone, god forbid! But, there is an "edge", a "rawness" to his tone and, as I am not a big fan of mids, to me that may get even closer? Brian Maybe? 🙂

[@arottie4097]

W0W! This is the closest i've ever heard Mr Mays tone Emulated! Well done.

[@musicmann1967]

I seem to recall Brian saying he used just about every tone his guitar had to offer in that song in different bits and parts of the song. You did a nice job overall on the solo. I think Brian's version had a bit more of the harmonic squeal and a touch more sustain perhaps. Nice job though, and nice playing as always!

[@jaygallamore562]

To my amateur ears you nailed it! I could hear the six pence piece striking the stings more so than with a “normal” plectrum. Love your content, keep up the good work…

[@BeggarsForSomeSoul]

Great explainer video on a solo that really makes me turn off! So many other solos he did were more ballsy. And I don't like that overrated composition anyways. Queen was a band where you could never settle in. Every once in awhile they would show their old true raw club grit!

[@madbrowndog4887]

Another great video, but I was hoping you'd play us out with a Chris Buck style outro, with Brian May's tone.

It's very close. Warmer. Brian's is a touch tinnier, as in: it has some of the tonal characteristics of a tin can.

[@richard_noblockhit]

honestly it doesnt sound that good on the recording, i just dont think the tone is good. The solo is a masterpiece but the tone is ass ngl

[@ezbass]

That’s damn close. The original has a tad more bite and distortion, but I bet Brian couldn’t match it exactly these days either. What I find interesting is that, for a tall gent, the Red Special is a shorter than normal scale at 24” (probably done to simplify the maths for the frets, but I’m probably way off base there), so it must feel really small compared to a Tele, which, IIRC, he used for Crazy Little Thing.

[@dtmateo]

Just a little bit more treble I think. I enjoyed this.

[@basicsforbaroqueimprovisation]

Great episode Chris. Excellent ! In case someone might find it to be of interest I offer the following: From a 1983 interview in Guitar Player Magazine : “How do you string your electric guitar? I use Rotosound round-wound strings, gauged .008, .009, .011, .016, 0.22, and .034, high to low. These gauges are very similar to his friend ( and next door neighbor ) Tony Iommi : For Eb tuning .008p, .008p, .011p, .018w, .024w, .032w These very light gauges clarify the bass pitches and allow them to be heard better separately while providing for increased expressivity through bending, vibrato, etcetera. I encourage interested players to try Brian's gauge as listed above ( if possible use an older Sixpence as a pick ) and experience something of the touch and feel required to play on this kind of set-up. Best Wishes - John

[@grahamrhodes5985]

Amazing video, thanks Chris, but how did you get through all that without a mention of the (fairly) new Brian May Vox Amplug and how it measures up??

[@dudearmageadonn9173]

Now for balance we need a Rory Gallagher tone video;)

[@christopherventer6391]

Interesting to hear the intermodulation distortion in the original. That happens on an old AC30 because the power filtering is pretty light, which causes them to hum a bit, but also gives them a specific growling texture.

[@yinoveryang4246]

Fairly near, the nearest I've heard. Were it's different to my ears is the vibrato. Brian Mays natural vibrato is different to yours. Possibly it's slower and less in-time but in an expressive way ? Vibrato isn't something you can teach really. I always a bit depressed by teachers who think (similar to note bends), that its something that should be trained. Its either natural to you or it isn't I guess. Nice video.

[@b.rodclark334]

I recently discovered that Brian May also lent his distinctive tone on R&B singer Jeffrey Osborne's 1983 hit song 'Stay With Me Tonight'. I've always loved Brian's use of OOP tones which you've come almost close to nearly duplicate... great video!

[@FelixNemo]

Great video but wrong sixpence. Brian May uses a 1947 sixpence because 1) it was the year he was born and 2) the ones made before 1950 have a different metal content, more nickel and are softer. Sixpences also have a serrated edge which can be used to get a different effect. 😃 He must have jars and jars of them because after they went out of circulation, fans would collect 1947 sixpences for him. Anyone who needs to use 3 different guitars when playing A Crazy Little Thing Called Love live is fanatical about detail.

[@AndrewCadie]

Very close indeed - especially the playing. Maybe the only difference in the sound is that May used multiple amps and it sounds like they are causing a phase effect in the room, additionally to the out of phase pickups.

[@SandauxBeats]

Somewhere down the line, approximately 50 to 60 years from now, someone will discuss the tones Chris Buck created with his solos on Cardinal Black. This documenteur will grab a 40th anniversary Squier Jazzmaster (that year, it will be the centennial year for Squier), a KoT, a Mythos Golden Fleece, an Echo Rec, a Yamaha Revstar, and a Fender '68 Pro Reverb Amp.

[@vinceinhouston4338]

As far as the light gauge strings go, Billy Gibbons of ZZ Top fame, tells a story about using very heavy gauge strings until at 22 years old, backstage at an early ZZ Top appearance at a Blues festival, when BB King who was playing the same show, asked if he could play Billy's guitar. Billy said yes, but when BB got hold of the ZZ Top guitar, he strummed it a few times, handed it back with a confused look and asked him why the strings were so heavy. (I think Gibbons said he was using .011 or .012s at that time) He asked if that wasn't how you got that heavy Blues sound, to which BB asked him, "Why you workin' so hard?" He started playing .007s ever since. I heard that story in high school but could only find .009s. I think I would break anything lighter. My Peavy Vypr has a setting that is supposed to be a "classic" Vox type emulation (not sure which amp they based it on) that I've been using with my Red Special and it sounded great, but, not exactly spot on. I recently picked up a Rush Pepbox that is made by the same company that the guy that made the first British fuzz pedal made back in the day (Pepe Rush) but I haven't tried it with the Brian May guitar yet. I know the Barcelona based company Aclam have 2 Beatles themed Pedals out now using the circuitry used in the ultra rare Vox UL730. I bought the Mocker, but probably should have gotten the Dr. Roberts as the Mocker's distortion/fuzz (that came standard on the UL730) is always on and the Robert's has a gain knob that presumably you can turn down to just breaking up and get that warm Vox amp sound that I hope is closer to Brian's sound. I am working on getting the correct power conversion plugs for the UK as my amps are rated for American power, not the higher voltage UK electrical rating or I'd have tried it already.

[@PIERSBARONtv]

Super close. The only main difference I can immediately tell is the BM recording sounds like the AC30s are pretty loud. Yours is epic.

Nice video in general, but theirs really no secret to this!! The formula is so easy , in other words, it’s not hard to achieve Brian’s tone.. It all just comes down to Knowledge.

I'm commenting three times in this video 😂😂😂...but still can't express how much I love Brian ❤❤❤❤❤........ No one can make a guitar song like him

[@ric8248]

Yet another amazing video. A few comments: 1. I understand that Brian used to turn up the amp's volume all the way up to 10 and bring the volume of the guitar knob down to compensate for this. This is how he gets the plectrum (or in this case the sixpence) to yield that nice noisy response upon touching the string, even before the note itself. 2. I would stay away from using the match EQ plugin because, at least in the digital world, it might be doing most of the job in these exercises, fooling us into thinking the gear is accurate. I used this plugin to get my Roland keyboard sound like the Let It Be intro and wow, it worked almost perfectly..

[@stevephale]

Great video and I think you nailed it perfectly. Just one correction, the AC30 came to being because in the late 50’s Hank Marvin wanted more punch than the available AC15 could give so Vox came up with the AC30. Then came the Beatles and the others.

[@scopex2749]

Bryan uses old sixpences to play! I cant play with anything thicker than a Fender thin! That guitar is PRICELESS!. I used a Vox AC30 back in the 70's but had to sell it when a rain day came 😢 BIG MISTAKE! I do miss that thing and my Wem Copycat (oldies like me will know what that was).

A range master treble booster and a Vox AC30 amp - all learned from the inspiration of Rory Gallagher. Brian May says as much himself. As you have pointed out in the video. The harmonics and tone are also reminiscent of Rory's sound and the way he wired his Strat as well as his preference to use the out of phase second bridge pickup position. Rory used a lot of pinch harmonics as well a sound not unlike Brian's coin edgy sound. Great video BTW. Fascinating insights and details. Thank you.
