[ReaMbo87]

[keza123123123]

@ReaMbo87 heuses sixpences not plectrums

[shredmaster100]

the guitar got owned brian may is god and now his hairs turned grey hes starting to look like god lol

[CCaPASun]

the guitar wasnt in tune. he picked it up, played two notes, and it tuned itself because it realized the greatest guitarist of all time was playing it.

[NemesisInfernoLuver]

this was posted on my birthday :)

[ATOMIKDOG23]

it is on the bloody internet .....and bloody awesome Brian......my red special doesn't sound as good as that ...lol

[FriendNotFoeBand]

That wasn't a performance, that was just brian may playing a guitar he autographed.

[baciaela]

super

[Dourapatan]

He grabes the guitar and automatically sounds f... perfect! My favorite artist off all time along with Freddie!

[ErikKnear]

Okay, now I'll buy it!

[xXxXCathyXxXx]

he's just incredible. and also one of the nicest people i've ever met. so gracious and kind!

[elmalditoduende79]

THE BEST GUITAR



[bloodsling]

I will have a red special replica one day..I'm a drummer at heart but that guitar is as much a part of Queens sound as Freddies voice

[FluorescentTeddy]

Brian May es grandioso!!!!

[Robotdrummerzzk]

They sound so eager to please in the background lol.

[Greenaxle]

yes Brian, it was on the internet the day after

[mrianmark]

I photographed Queen in 1976 over 2 nights in Canada. To see the shots go to ianmarkmusicphotos (.com)

[MsCaleb79]

lucky bastard!!

[RedSpecial96]

HEY ANYONE!!!! I changed my strings and hand a problem with the bridge. so if anyone could HELP ME PLEASE!!!!!!!

[daviejtube95]

@RedSpecial96 what is the problem?

[AIG96]

Does that guitar feedback?

[furybasspv]

@AIG96 Yep. In fact, the original Red Special built by Brian and his dad was the first guitar actually deliberately designed to feedback - he was inspired by seeing Jeff Beck in concert, holding his guitar in front of the amp and getting all these amazing sounds out of it.

[dilwich123]

It you gave that man a stick and a piece of string he's give you a masterpiece ;)

[999freddiemercury]

he's just showing off now!! HE'S HILARIOUS X)

[fesouza1987]

brian may eh mto foda!

esse cara um dos melhores do mundo!!

greatest BRIAN!

[Winston4324]

Brians happy

[ihateshitstabbers]

that were shit, i used to think he were a good player

[Queenrocks2020]

@ihateshitstabbers  well, he is older now.

[ihateshitstabbers]

@Queenrocks2020 so is keith richards but he still can bang a tune out!!!!

[fairyfellermaster]

Brian is a legend. Nobody has his touch I especially love that lick in 1:33 it has all the hallmarks of a queen song.

[dappahand]

I think brian play in a really unique way, and only recently have i noticed that hes probably the guy who influenced all the techy players of modern days, like van halen, dime bag, sariani, because he can pull of all the little tricks like dive bombs and tapping, and also he doesnt really aproach playing licks in a traditional blues rock way, hes more like classical, although i hear many influences in there.. Any one agree here?

[sammiecutie1]

@dappahand yes he is amazing like that, he also doesnt use guitar picks, instead he uses the sixpence which i believe arent even manufactured anymore also he made his own guitar when he was a teenager so his guitar is unique as well he is just a unique person as you said!!! :D i love him!!!

[MishuTaste]

Imagine how cool it would be to be a student in his music class!

[jvillanuevamtz]

Guitar is priceless after Brian did this

[celestegrl]

a phenomenal person and the best guitarist ever!!!!!! ♥

[larry46lurex]

Lo mas hermoso que he visto ♥.♥

:D es divino!!!

[joredmom]

LOL, the 4 people that gave thumbs down suck .... LOL... dorks

[demytje]

Only he can play a guitar which isn't setup or tuned anyway and let it sound so amazing.

[plotchickens]

it's nice that he took a break from fucking Kerry Ellis to do this. gotta say though, I don't know if I'd do that ... she is fucking hot, especially when she wears those slut boots. you couldn't drag me away from her hot ass with a whole HERD of horses.

[Olegstuff1986]

@plotchickens that was a really stupid comment and very disrespectful.

[plotchickens]

BLAH BLAH BLAH, your only upset because I'm right ...... Brian may has absolutely no reason to work with that whore, unless of course he is getting some sex on the side.

[flappospammo]

@plotchickens

you are a cunt

fuck off

[plotchickens]

what the fuck is your problem, dont get angry just because i speak the truth

there is no reason for THE greatest guitarist of the 70s to be working with that stupid blond slut. UNLESS he is getting some cookie crumbs off the side ..... he he he ...

[Olegstuff21986]

@plotchickens you wish you could play as good as him

[plotchickens]

what the fuck are you talking about, im' a drummer, technically i play BETTER than him because i am on a different instrument that he doesn't play! you idiot! like i said, brian may is the best guitarist of the 70's (and probably 80's too) and as one of his fans i don't need to listen to your boring nonsense. i just think he should stop wasting his life with kerry "i only cost ten bucks" ellis. she's a cheap fucking whore

[Olegstuff21986]

@plotchickens we´ll, I've watched a few videos with Brian May and Kerry Ellis, and yes, I do of course prefer the Queen from the 70s. It is definitely more commercial now and I would like to see Brian May develop his style further. Kerry Ellis is a good singer, you can't deny that, but the direction of the music isn't exactly my thing. But Brian May is I believe 64 now and rock 'n' roll is a typical youth thing, so maybe he isn't that into it, who knows. But I'm still a huge fan of his playing.

[plotchickens]

well i apologize for calling you an idiot, it shows my impatience. what i meant was to say that you are ACTING like an idiot. you probably are not one, you make a good point about brian and his music.

but frankly i just do not care for his crappy collaborations with people who aren't fit to shine his shoes. robbie williams, paul rodgers, kerry ellis ... they are all terrible. i swear to this, he must only be working with her for some "under the table" payment .... *cough*

[Olegstuff21986]

@plotchickens well, Brian May is married, so I highly doubt it. But it's a large discussion which I think has nothing to do with this clip, hehe. Well, I hope we'll be hearing more great licks from him in the future, that's all, and I'm sure he'll write more great guitar songs. I remain optimistic.

[plotchickens]

he has cheated in the past :P but i agree i probably talk way too much on this video already, take care!

[Olegstuff21986]

@plotchickens you calling me an idiot is just a sign of your insecurity. And learn how to write you're proprely - it's you are, first, before you insult others.

[fairyfellermaster]

@Olegstuff21986 good argument but I just have to say one thing, You spelled it "proprely" and it's "properly". you should properly learn how to spell "properly" before you teach someone how to spell properly. Damn I just gave myself a headache...

[Olegstuff21986]

@fairyfellermaster I know how to spell properly, that was a typo. But funny comment nonetheless, hehe.

[Olegstuff21986]

yeah!!! Brian May shows how it's done!!

[davidricardom]

Brian May el mejor guitarrista del mundo.

[Zargon314]

the guitar was out of tune, but that didn't matter in his hands!

[torfente]

the way he plays evan a single note is better than a lot of git. ,, heros'' play in they'r whole solo.

It's the feeling, not the quantity that makes a solo reaching your soul.

I love also Malmsteen- Vai -Angelo ..... but brian is the top of what you can give to support a Band and also showing your'e excelent stile.

[ex59neo53]

Great musician and what an humble sir ^^

[ru31jan]

The second part he did sounds great for an out of tune guitar haha, wish i could do that

[dilwich123]

That guy could play a cricket bat with strings and it would still sound amazing :-)

[Olegstuff21986]

Brian May - my guitar hero!!

[lsmalmquist]

Love this video! Thanks.

[contrastej]

Too bad that the camera mic didn´t made justice for the real sound that Brian played...historic video though.

[Olegstuff21986]

amazing guitar playing, I love his style! Brian May is a great musician!

[trumsolon]

Brian May makes an untuned guitar sound better than I could ever make a tuned guitar sound. :(

[adolfo21]

lol, how can you not love that man?!

[brifacta]

When is lizzy going to Knight this genius?

[SmeGalvao]

@brifacta long overdue already...

[wisesatyr72]

Issac Newton of rock guitarists

[Dude2Hot2BStr8]

What a great guitarist and a sensational person!

[tiptas]

[Az201056]

Great!!

[rbaleksandar]

lol Love the comment at the end. XD

[78590000]

[Hockeycard15]

[markovicsadam]

[MrAppolo777]

I Bloody Love U Brian :P Ur The Best!!!!

[edmatper]

Nice sounding as always... I can't get how he makes them sound so good. Those awfull guitars with loud neck and always detuned strings... Brian is a humble genius !

[merqury5]

Its so fun to watch that even though brian has never touched that guitar before he sounds JUST like he always does. Its good that he carries his fingers around wherever he goes, along with his bellybutton and such.

he is just the business

[Jimi1901]

anyone got an idea what pickup/phaser combo he used for that?

Brian is AWESOME!

[brianmay65]

id say thats the nearest a scissors has ever been to brians hair. . . nice work on the guitar brian well done you should take it up for a living. . lol

[kaleluk31]

Was this before the advent of the BM super red special?

Its just i thought they would have used one of those being its closer to the original?

Although it is good to see the master play one of his production copies

I have a BMG just like the one in the video except its left handed

[LowFlyer1200]

Indeed its on the bloody internet. And thanks so much for it. He always seems like the greatest guy.

[redspecialrules]

Saudações à todos os fans do Brian no mundo inteiro.

[lolaginola]

That guitar is lovely tuned up... lol...

[flappospammo]

no sixpence or plectrum

exc stuff

he's a genius

[HonestCriticzzzzzz]

Is Brian chewing gum here? If he is... hmm... I guess Brian can do two things at once. Man, he should spit out the gum before public appearances - oh well, perhaps he is just chewing his cud - he is a pretty loud vegetarian :))

[Stratocaster21st1994]

shows how good these guitars really are

10/10

[haraldamsterdam1988]

Even when the guitar is out of tune, Brian can still play Great!!!

[jnflow]

Also he's got a PhD in Astrophysics... Name another famous guitarist with that.

[sagnier]

@jnflow john mayer

[Mcqlfc]

We're not worthy, We're not worthy!! I have a different version of Bo Rhap and Champions in my videos. You will never have seen these before.

[queen86wembley]

Ah Ah. "It's lovely, it works!" GREAT BRIAN!!!

[iammoog]

It's SO lovely to know that even our lord Brian himself can't think of a bloody thing to play when a guitar is thrust in his hands. heh heh.

[renejosundvall]

He was going to be my husband in 1975...but I lived in America!!! He didn't know me.

[Phlegmbanger]

He always will be the gaffer ... Brian ... you rock (obviously) :)

[espectaculardavidrcq]

Simplemente Brayan!

[booopdooop]

Yeh, just amazing. I'd love a pair of Brian May fingers for christmas.

[kaleluk31]

sounds grusome lol

[WannabeLyricist]

Great Comment! I think i'll put a pair on my list for next year too! :)

[mtsn]

@booopdooop who needs a six pence when you have these fingers?

[jvillanuevamtz]

WOW just WOW!!!

[Fender1976uk]

Seen him live and it was GREAT! he was very warm to the audience all night! apart from 1 grumble at some security guys for blocking him from shaking hands with some fans when he climbed down off the stage to get to them?? everyone booed :) great night! he did a killer solo as well!

[theoriginal1971]

brian hasn't changed. his hair, his style, and his pro guitar playing and his nice attitude is still there. rock on bri!!!!

[TaylorMayed07]

OMG shut up bout his bloody hair, who gives a shit, if he's had the same hair style for 40 odd yrs, no-one cares, it wudnt b Brian if he changed his hair style, get over it

[wisesatyr72]

this guy is like Issac Newton of the pro guitar players in the world..

[misskoekjesmeisje]

I

LOVE

IT!

[msobrevia]

A pesar de que estaba desafinada la guitarra no dijo nada al respecto para no caer mal y no dejar mal parados a los que le pasaron la copia de la RS bien!!! dr.Bri.

[sioux333]

hes such a nice guy unlike other huge stars

[Kakuoteyalu]

Yes, Brian, it is on the bloddy internet already! :-P

[GeorgeHumperty]

this is the nicest guy in the guitar business

[jewel8888]

I love this, Brian was brilliant as usual, and it makes me smile. I wish I had been there.

[Robin360]

The title of this video should be "Guitar God Brian May making an out of tune guitar sound great."

Brian is amazing! Long live Queen!

[Faroukh2008]

Brian is the best !!

He's so wise in so many things !

[BowieGlam]

He is amazing.

Absolutley amazing.

And so polite!!!

I wish I got to meet him!

[truckersaurus]

It's all in the fingers!!!!!!

heh heh heh

[oneyee]

Who else can be so charming, chewing gum at an event, but delightful to everyone and being a great sport, not acting too good for anyone? I totally adore so many things about him. Gosh I can't stop raving about him blah blah... :):):)

[stilettoes]

So polite.

[jasonfoxrox]

All I can say is wow.

At 62 years old, he's a better guitarist than I'll ever be if I try.

[AdiMercury]

Brian, YOU ARE GREAT!

[hidmost]

Brian Harold May. A British rock legend. God bless ya! We love ya!

[plotchickens]

He makes even an out of tune guitar sound rockin'. Bless him!

[McDannyto]

OHHHHH MAESSSTROOO...!

[miguell8angell]

congratulation again

[Jonkinator]

Absolutely wonderful! This guy really is a great role model -- that's all too uncommon in rock music too. This guy was never overcome by drugs; he's a well educated man who is well known for having his own distinctive style on the Red Special. To meet him would be a dream come true!

[gpie]

I couldn't agree more Jonkinator! He is an inspiration in so many ways. I hope he's around for many more precious years! :D

[renejosundvall]

Can't HELP but LUV this guy!!

[McElhinney65]

Brian is a genuine role model and a thoroughly decent man.

[sokwest]

he talked about this on his Soapbox. He is so great!! HURRAY FOR BRIAN!!!!!

[Hamsterman13]

Is that gum?!

I certainly hope you brought enough for the rest of the class, young man!

[queenpluspaulrodgers]

He is so fit :O

[monique225]

And his hair looks terrific!!!!!!!!!!!! love him! XD

[buhdoble]

[brightonrock74]

"This will be on the bloody internet tommorow "

[TheDemocracyDelusion]

[citizen2879]

Genious!!
