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

Brian and his dad specially crafted the Red Special to sustain notes longer and have a larger range. Amazing.

[@dirkvantroyen9170]

I really liked how he could actually make it "sing", so beautifully. A sound only Brian May could master.

[@jstample]

He has said they made it out of necessity as well because he didn’t have the money to buy a guitar

[@fredandpattychandler4130]

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.

[@lynby6231]

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

[@mbsheisey]

They were also too poor to buy him a new guitar.

[@ericynot]

Steve Vai said of Brian May ""I can listen to any player and pantomime their sound, but I can't do Brian May. He's just walking on higher ground."

[@frontier_fancier]

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...

[@eileenj.m.3461]

It's more than gear.

[@ericynot]

Eileen J.M., Yes, it is, and I wish I had just 1% of it.

[@frontier_fancier]

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.

[@jack_o._lantern]

+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.

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!

[@Dutch2go]

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...

For me, the best version of Brighton Rock is still the one from Live Killers. Pure artistry! It's shaped like a piece of classical music that would do the likes of Bach proud. Having said that, I've seen Brian work his magical three part guitar harmonies live on stage on three separate occasions; he never disappointed and I was blown away by his musical genius on each occasion.

I was lucky enough to see Queen perform live twice, both while Freddie was still alive. This guitar solo is unbelievable to witness.
