I like how you have sort done the “best of” studio and live versions of Brighton rock. There’s bits of Wembley 86, Budapest 86, Montreal, Live Killers.

[@MarcoGDiMarco]

Glad you noticed it!

[@Pascalsmit1971]

I also noticed! :-)

[@daleybrennan9867]

I echo the above! There was one point where you went to the C chord towards the end that I thought we were also going to get some of the Q+AL era harmonies too!

10:05 sounds like it's from Milton Keynes 1982

[@garethflattery3010]

I thought it was slightly different the only time I heard this was london 2012 closing ceremony and Brian played a slightly different version to this song

[@mrvlsmrv]

Enjoy these Brian May covers immensely. I didn't think anybody would attempt Brighton Rock. But you did Brian proud.

[@MarcoGDiMarco]

Thank you

[@brennankelley4932]

Holy shit, the closest thing we have to Brian May today. Amazing

[@MarcoGDiMarco]

Thanks

[@seanespey2887]

The closest thing to Brian May is Brian May because Brian May is still alive however Marco is a close second

[@wright427]

My mind is blown. Amazing .😮

[@Pascalsmit1971]

Wow. Just like: WOW! I have been following you for quite some time now. But after seeing this, I just HAVE to write this comment. I'm 51 years old and I have been a massive mega Queen fan sionce 1986. I own and know every single second Queen ever recorded. Queen inspired me to make music myself and nowadays I play guitars, bass, keys/piano, drums and I sing leadvocals and harmony backing vocals. I made quite some (vocal) covers of Queen songs myself. Not to show off, just to say: 'I bloody well know Queen!' I've seen lot's of guitarists with Red Special Copy's doing guitar covers on KZbin, but you...are the absolute pinnacle. Your sound, your attack, your strumming, your overall sound is pretty well exactly the same as Brian's! I can hardly hear the difference and I think that says it all. This solo is insane! Like another person alreay said: it's a perfect blend of the studio version, Wembley, Montreal, Budapest, Live Killers and own interpretation. I watched and listened the whole video with my jaw dropped WAY down! It's beautiful, it's master. Sir: in my humble opinion you are the best Brian May like guitar player on KZbin. Incredible! I salute you! Keep em coming! Thanks!! :-)

[@MarcoGDiMarco]

Thank you so much, really

[@valdissafonovs2565]

Absolutely agree with previous comment....😮

[@coZyLos]

i’m late,, it’s like 1 in the morning here where i’m at.. this is probably the BEST cover of Brighton Rock.. really made my night! thanks Marco!

[@MarcoGDiMarco]

Many thanks

[@brianmaysguitar7252]

One of the best Brighton rock solos I’ve ever heard!!!!

[@willb1157]

WOW! praise indeed. Killer Marco, Killer.

[@barrymitchell6444]

How few have you heard?

[@nicholasbetti3063]

Ooooh, that moment is arrived 😍

[@chrispemberton9321]

I think Brian may would like to see and hear this version. Because that's exactly how Brian played it

[@barrymitchell6444]

Crap.

[@barrymitchell6444]

Exactly how May played it? Really?!! This bloke can't even play the Keep Yourself Alive intro the way May played it.

[@Sevas293]

@@barrymitchell6444he usually tends to base his playing off of Brian’s live renditions not the album guitars. And even if he didn’t play it exactly the same why does that matter? Marco is obviously miles better then anyone in this comment section stop complaining and just appreciate the music

[@barrymitchell6444]

@@Sevas293 I've been playing guitar since 1977, including as a professional for many years. So don't try to explain anything about guitar-playing to me, dopey 🤡

[@barrymitchell6444]

@@Sevas293 So, no, guesser... he isn't "obviously miles better than anyone in this comment section." Any more spazzy guesswork and drivel, or is that it? Grow up, loser 🤡

[@jbbeaudry]

Wonderful. And playing with the volume knob (on top of pickup and phase selection) is such an important part of understanding the tones of those old guitar masters. It gives the player an identity and makes them recognisable whether they play clean or saturated You seem to master that and it’s one of the features that, in my opinion, make you stand out of the crowd when it comes to paying tribute to the great Brian May.

[@MarcoGDiMarco]

Thanks a lot!

[@ak1969]

Can't remember when i was this much amazed about someones playing and sound. Wow, just wow. Nice work here.

[@MarcoGDiMarco]

Thanks

[@kylejmcardell]

@@MarcoGDiMarco Can you describe what it’s like to play this guitar compared to others such as a Gibson or Strat, specifically with the thickness of the neck?

[@MarcoGDiMarco]

@@kylejmcardell Considera that a '58 LP profile is slim compared to this! It's a totally different instrument, and so you have a totally different approach when playing, when bending...

Never tried the Helix... Anyway, Brian's tone is pretty simple: a Treble Booster and an AC30 up full. Can you simulate these two things on your device?
