  • Excelente. Uno de los mejores guitarristas que he visto en mi vida.

  • Being a girl not knowing much about playing a guitar, when i first heard this i was offended, like: WHAT??? This isn't a solo, why would he bring another guitar player with him??? and where the hell is he??? Now i know what a delay is, and who is the master of it. really wonderful!

  • he is 2nd to Hendrix... Their both the greatest!, NUFF SAID

  • AAAhhhh q buen solo!!!!! de las q te dan ganas de aprender a tocar como UN DIOS DEL ROCK!!!!!.....Brian May...........No todos tienen el "Don" de una buena interpretacion

  • This inspired me play guitar and start a band!

    Brian May is legend!

  • me too ^^ beautiful sound !!

  • wow... what a beautiful! I love his guitar sound<3

  • MAY was ahead of his time,not because of playing,but for the electronics he had is his GUITAR?I don't know where the delay pedal is,or the chorus,is he adjusting them using the controls on the Guitar? The 'G'-'C'-'F' effects "RAINING" sequence can be done by anyone with a digitech processor these days.But back then? with analogue pedals?very difficult.Guy was ahead of the pack,electronically.#38 on the All-time gr8tist guitarist list? generous.and please no hate mail,it is just an opinion!

  • make that guitar sing!!!!!!

  • fuckin' genius! steve vai's favourite guitar player!!!

  • love it! Best guitarist ever!

  • Best guitarist in the world for me.

  • BRIAN MAY ROCKS

  • slash and brian are the guitar gods !!! 

  • I think Brian May is one of the greatest yet most overlooked guitarists in rock history. He has great fluidity. And he is a man of thought and consideration. After reading a little more about him, he moved way up on my list of favorite guitarists.

  • Brian May doesn't just play the guitar, he makes it sing <3

  • 05:51 is so amazing !!! ;)

  • Sometimes when you listen to Queen this awesome dude lets out a certain sound. A buzz... or... more like a ZING! And when you hear that... ZING... all you could say is...

    A May zing!

  • Hi I wish you success

  • I know damn well their aint 38 guitarists in history better than Brian May, Wth Rolling Stone SUCKS ZEBRA DICK... Brain May is in my top 10.. NUFF SAID

  • @Estranged68 ehhhh.................idk about "top 10" but Brian May is definatey in the top 20 or mid 30's

  • @alexi7301 Yet, 40 years later he is still respected by the industry and the fans, you are absolutely entitled to your opinion , but wouldn't your opinion be better heard complimenting what you like rather than blasting what you don't. Just saying...

  • @alexi7301 lol, shutup stupid

  • @alexi7301 u fuckin faggot cock sucker!!!!

  • @alexi7301 lets see you play better then. Oh wait, you're probably one of those shred cunts who have no fucking soul whatsoever.

    Also, bohemian rhapsody is not opera you fucking retard

  • @alexi7301 clearly this has been posted just to get attention in ur sad little life but im going to add to it coz i feel like telling u ur a mug nothing overrated about queen at all

  • This is terrible...i'm not even talking about technicity, this is ugly and worst thing is that he could play with a kazoo, everybody would be like "OMG he really plays with his soul, that's beatiful". Stop saying they are great just because Mercury died, ok we get it, it's sad, he was a good singer but Queen is overrated, no matter how you look at it.

    And if i want to listen to opera i listen to opera, not Bohemian bullcrap.

  • @alexi7301 You jelous because you cant play guitar like dr may ? hahahahahhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaa little fagggot

  • This solo is called Brighton Rock

  • Idiot, 21 don't look it look at how many do my friend, I use the last part of my sentence very loosely........

  • it's easy solo

    but it's a masterpiece

  • Happy Birthday Brian May! Thanks for your music!!!

  • Roll over Jimmy, and let Brian take over.

  • mitico brian

  • Brian can rip when he wants to .,..this is about dynamics, taste and a little something called performance ... taking the crowd with you, not just wanking AT the crowd.

  • Comment removed

  • SHIT GUITAR!! :p

  • that is not only a guitar o: is the holy and sacred Red Special o.0 and the one who is playing is god

  • The dethklok theme song ending... They have good taste. BM is the man.

  • @MachinesOfMan i dont think that show was around then?

  • @infammotoben it wasn't. it was more or less of a joke. nothing else. haha!

  • ....is God

  • вот это соло!!!!!

  • the only people who hate this is probably dragonforce or alex laiho lovers. for them, playing guitar is like a reca. all about speed. the dont knoew that guitar playin should come from the soul not your brain.

  • @nomorelies86 i like dragonforce, alex and brian may

  • Dr. Brian May - Soul, Guitar and a PHD!

  • its a great solo

  • i don't see the point with a dislike video on this video :S

  • I like the sound from 7:21 minute

  • Beautiful... One of my favourite solo of all time

  • the only people who could hate this are idiots

  • He's using a guitar cord ,,,that's awesome .....lol

  • one reason for Brian's distinct sound is he and his father hand made his guitar out of a 500 year old fireplace mantle...the older the wood the sweeter the tone....

  • @mjw9363

    I heard of that, and apperently he plays with a 6pence.

  • Its not about speed and volume with B.M.

    That 9 minutes was a story in itself dont you think.?

  • no one will ever sound close to this..brian may genius

  • Anita you lucky, lucky woman.....

  • brian may play its like "who needs marshall cabinet when i can stack up about 40-50 vox ac30 for this place"...he got brain as big as hes hair...genius is nothing....what kind of PHD...play a guitar this amazing...well..Brian May

  • dr brian may - king of delay

  • YES! THIS IS BRIAN MAY! AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!

  • solos made from his heart.. to our hearts...

  • he was the reason i learned to play guitar. to eventually be able to at least make an honest attempt at playing his kind of electric guitar! <3

  • There were, like, thirty or forty AC30's up there. Brian May is an absolute genius.

  • what pedal is he using to split his tone in three?

  • @gibsonsg96 2 delay pedals

  • trop bien

  • Best gitarist ever lived.

  • bolado

  • Jeff Loomis makes this look pathetic. Welcome to the new generation folks.

  • @deoxyribonucleic777 Jeff Loomis is mediocre at best.

  • @deoxyribonucleic777 Jeff Loomis is a beast true but this is pure genius and brian mays phrasing is incredilble

  • @deoxyribonucleic777 jeff loomis is amazing, but its not about playing super technical stuff. so stop being a troll. Brian May has brilliant phrasing and his licks are beautiful. 

  • @bighaffa12 I don't mean to troll I'm just tired of older generations downing modern guitarists and saying things like it's just speed and random notes I hear them down neo-classical all day long where I live. But perhaps it works both ways, perhaps I should try to find appreciation in this and they should try to find appreciation in neo-classical. I will give it a shot.

  • @deoxyribonucleic777 well, not to add into the whole trolling thing, but modern day guitarist seem to not have that soul that 60-80's guitarist have....todays guitarist usually rely on effects and super complicated technical riffs to make a good song while back in the day it was soulfull riffs and good beats....

    example....

    listen to Killer Queen by Queen and then go and listen to Downfall by Children of Bodom

    yes its diffrent genres, but pay attention to the guitar

  • @TrippyTheShroom How can you compare a "rock" group to a "deathcore" group? Deathcore was always about anger, hence showing your "anger" (EMOTION) as an angry sounding, high octane piece, different pieces yes, but being able to compare different genres and different emotions is a difficult thing to do.

  • @UKLegendUK ok, then if you wanna stay in the "rock/metal" genre guitarist, then compare Brian May (Queen) and Tom Morello (Audioslave, RATM)

    both are considered "Rock" guitarist and both are considered very good guitarist...but one OBVIOUSLY excels over the other due to a thing called "Soul" in guitar

  • @TrippyTheShroom Yeah, I know exactly what you're saying, I just think you were kinda off on how you said it, but I think everyone likes soulful guitar playing.

  • @UKLegendUK lol sorry if i came off a bit crude in that last message, but ya, most people obviously prefer to hear soulful guitar playing like Brian may, randy rhoads, classical guitarist basically....thats what you very rarely hear anyone nowadays that sounds like Brian May, or Randy Rhoads, or Eric Clapton etc

  • @TrippyTheShroom It's all good man, i know I may have also haha, but I know what you mean dude, but if you like soulful guitar playing, check out Corazon De Santiago by Marty Freidman, ex-Megadeth lead guitarist but my God he can play blues xD

  • @TrippyTheShroom

    I think Tom Morello plays from the soul too, I mean, not on an emotional kind of level, but he plays passionately for helping others. All of RATM's songs are about the oppression and suffering going on due to corruption, they talk about homeless and hungry people, and they do something about it.

  • @deoxyribonucleic777 lol I'm a Loomis fan, but never diss a rock god bitch. Loomis is a new generation player, no doubt, but why even bring him up here. There's about 10,000 guys faster than Brian May ever was, but nobody cares about those guys. Any fool can play fast.

    Jeff Loomis would probably slap you himself for the disrespect.

  • Grande Brian. Gli idioti di rolling stone lo hanno messo dietro Kurt Cobain nella classifica dei 100 migliori chitarristi. Che insulto.

  • Comment removed

  • How can 21 people not like this!!!!!!!!! DDDD= BRIAN MAY RULES!!

  • This is probably brian may's idea of a little warm up before the show lol legend

  • I think that guitar cable either grows and shrinks or its the longest cable known to man!

  • OMG, 49secs ,look at all those vox amps !!!!!!!!!

  • @bizarrebob i had to change my pants after seeing all those VOX amps!

  • This is other worldly......

  • You just don't see this from anyone else...there are the shredders, but they can be boring and unmusical...

  • Brian May is the only guitarist I've seen that can make his guitar sing. Hail, master of guitar licks!!!

  • very cool

  • What ever he tries to do with his guitar ... he's not only playing ... it's like he was trying to share his passion of guitar with us ... a true legend !

  • And that ladies and gentlemen is how you play guitar. Bravo Brian.

  • 4:12 - 4:35 Look at his right hand!!!!

  • The best tone ever, the best guiatarist ever, his in the best band ever, what else could you ask for?

  • it's not all about technic... it's about heart, passion, and how to treat a guitar as your daughter... or wife

  • @fanderlart oh hell no not your daughter

    would you really put both your hands all over your daughter and play with her using your fingers

    i know i wouldnt

  • @fanderlart yeah...i wouldn't say daughter, thats abit weird.

  • @fanderlart He treats his guitar as his daughter because IT IS HIS DAUGHTER he made it with his father it's so magic ;)

  • This is one of the best solo of the history!!!

    epic show!

  • I would like to talk personally withe the 21 cunts that disliked this 

  • @klairet56 I disliked it. Go on and talk.

  • a true rock legend! God save Dr. Brian May!!!

  • yes! go Dr May!

  • I can't think of another guitarist with such an individual sound & tone. I can instantly tell when it's Brian. An absolute genius. How it does it, God only knows.

  • the best part is from minute 0:00 to 9:11

    fuck me with your harmony!!! (L)

  • brian may, is a fuckin legend...... long live the queen!

  • at 6:48 perfect harmony

  • Beautiful hamrony at 5:53 *.*

  • happy birthday brian

  • Happy birthday Brian from Italy

  • Some asshole said May was overrated. They can such cock after they see this.

  • @The12Child Overrated??? How can anybody say that... All people talk is hendrix, page, slash santana... I say Brian May and they "Who?"... He is incredibly underrated... Created a new sound and during some ofhis solos (like this one) he does the sound of 3 guitars... 3!!!! Nobody did what that but he stood up and made it look easy... You are right.... Those guys are assholes... Top 5 in the best guitarrists of all times no doubt... Brighton Rock and Bijou are the proof of what I say...

  • I am definetly a Brian May fan, but every solo video that I have seen he has played the same ol' thing. He is a great guitarist, but I kind of got tired of hearing the same old thing.

  • Best guitarist ever :D

  • 2:59 classic May concentration face

  • the best part is between 0:00 and 9:10

  • @1990Freddiemercury hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha­h thumbs up

  • @1990Freddiemercury I liked from about 8:30 to 9:11

  • @1990Freddiemercury i agree, 9:11 is the worst part

  • @1990Freddiemercury that is so true

  • Once upon a time of Rock'n'Roll

  • The best guitarist ever!!!

  • u are both idiots because neither of you can even spell idiot right!!!!!

  • Haha retards caught up in a debate... Always fun to see

  • @janne55 Did anyone ask your opinion??? I don't think so, so keep your nose out and your mouth shut!!!

  • @Rebekah270984 aka the retard's argument (sorry for being late on that one though)

  • @janne55 Which comment are you replying to?

  • true talent...a genius.....I don't know much about guitars, but I am guessing he is using alot of reverb, piggyback and echo to get the effects he creates....

  • I WANT YOU BRIAN!!!

  • ive seen his guitar replica at Hard Rock Cafe Tokyo,

  • If people will invent time machine some day I will definitely go to this concert

  • Brian May is a Guitar God!

  • is he using a delay pedal on that? must be...

  • @Lespaul20155 Brian loves delays!!!

  • this is the best version i think most brian may fans prefer this version. . .cause i keep certain things and only some things work great live some dont they might sound great in rehersal but live they just fade and die almost instantly . . . .any way i dont like to change it too much . . . i hope ypu all enjoy this. . . .thank you all

  • beast of a tone

  • He's so gentle with his guitar, yet so powerful and extremely talented.

  • at around 1:40, what effect is Brian using to do that with the volume?

  • @MINISLASH0 I think it's called, turning the volume up....

  • @Rebekah270984 I think it's called, shut your face, woman

  • @MINISLASH0 I think you asked a very silly question and feel like a very silly person. And you cant shut your face, and Im not a woman. So basically everything coming out of your mouth is WRONG.

  • @Rebekah270984 i think you're gay because your name is Rebekah

  • @MINISLASH0 We use a joint account, and I'm not gay as I am in a very long term relationship. Remember my earlier point about everything that comes out of your mouth is wrong??? You just proved me right....

  • @Rebekah270984 long term relationships are for faggots along with joint accounts. i'm right because i think so.

  • @MINISLASH0 Again, stuff coming out of your mouth is wrong. Also, Faggots are a Meaty dish from Scotland. Since food can't really have a relationship, this makes you wrong AGAIN. I seriously suggest you just stop talking now, simply because you are an un-educated iidot, as you have shown with your ridiculous 2 line comments.

  • @Rebekah270984 I'll have you know that Faggots are not just a meaty dish, however, they are meatballs of sorts. Therefore, they were something living and organic, which then leads one to believe that at one point, they could maintain a stable relationship. Also, Faggots are popular and traditionally served in the Midlands of England, not Scotland. I am guessing you're an iidot who went to Scotland and thought "DURRR HURRR FANCY EATING"

  • @MINISLASH0 Now stop arguing with me because you are REALLY boring and so blatently just going on google for any information to try to make me look stupid.

  • @Rebekah270984 By the way, I don't think you're very well educated in terms of guitars and effects and such. After experimentation, I found that Brian May is actually using a delay pedal with a lot of depth and repeat. So the next time you try and be a smart ass, maybe you should check on some things before you go being an "iidot"

  • Comment removed

  • @Rebekah270984 Okay, then don't be a smart ass and think you know everything because it sure as hell seemed like it. And thats awesome that you know how to play one! You're so cool! By the way, you spelled "blatantly" wrong, iidot. Arguments aren't meant to entertain, by the way.

  • @MINISLASH0 Don't talk down to me, I never once said that I know everything or even that I know better than you. And has your whole argument just come down to the fact that I spent one word wrong??? Seriously??? Also I have not once insulted you, there is no need for it as that is what un-educated people do when they cannot put a decent argument together. Now just don't reply, it's very easy to do.

  • My guitar is signed by him and i was at this concert

  • really good man !!

  • Men! I wish Hendrix were there

  • Brighton Rock!!!

  • Love the part that begins @ 6:41

  • i looooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oove him.......... wrong........ i adoreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee­eee him!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Inimitabile, si!

    You say not? Could you do it? ;)

    Plenty of great work out there to compare, but there is only one Brian May. \m/

    Rock on, Doc.

  • That ping pong delay with two amps is pretty bad ass. I wouldn't call this inimitable though haha. Lots of guitarists do stuff with delay like this. Watch big sur moon.

  • yep Buckethead's-Big Sur Moon is an amasing song which just represents what you can do with a delay pedal but here is different ;)

  • One Word for this: Delay!

  • grandeeeeeeeeeee

  • imitabile?

  • that TONE is ridiculous

  • may is a great guitarist and u just have to love the red special, such a unique sound which is also why he is such a good guitarist. i love the bit where he gets louder at each strum.

  • you would be wrong there my friend. He uses an old school echoplex. Then using his guitars volume nob, he does volume swells.

  • lol, do you play guitar? hah!

  • A WALL OF VOX AMPS BEHIND HIM??? WTF.... Does he use ALL of them??

  • @jeserty6 A lot of the time a wall of amps are made mostly of dummy amps, just for effect. Usually only a few have speakers in them and are hooked up.
