"QUEEN GIVING LESSON ON SOLO BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY"

greatest title for a youtube video ever.

[red95king]

Hmm...well. Hes throwing some "extras" in. Very interesting. Wonder when this was taped. Looks like a while ago.

[zer0dahero]

[sluxguitar]

[mrclown1991]

i think hes playing the solo a key lower, yet plays it just as good and still sounds amazing

[cast390]

[gibsondanny]

@xmaste says you with that shitty one

[ecgedsel]

@xmaste yeah man thats whats called satanic :( oh well if ur a guns n roses fan check out my covers and subscribe :)

[guitarspectre]

the most important thing to say is that fathers are persons who always care about the kid artistic education, whatever is music or whatever, they want the boy express and be something with something and same happened to Vivaldi long ago, Brian May and many other musicians which the father not usually understand about music but just make things turn magical.....

[laser74hobby]

This guitar was made from a piece of old solid mahogany furniture!

[Everestlad]

It was a fireplace.

[thunderthumbs83]

it was actually the old fireplace mantle... still pretty cool though

[brandon9271]

@laser74hobby Its also got some Oak in there some where.. Just goes to show you that guitar don't HAVE to be made from traditional "tone woods" like Alder. :)

[toddevans1]

Sorry I meant the opposite, His neck is wider at the nut than the 24th fret :)

[QueenSource]

The sound of that guitar is just orgasmic...

[WannabeLyricist]

@QueenSource So agree! :)

[Ianandres1]

is in another tonality

[toddevans1]

Always Found it interesting that his guitar neck is wider at the top than at the nut.

[monkeyx17]

hes playin it in a lower key than in the song lol

[PurpleMelonMusic]

love the hair! I haven't had a haircut in a while... mine's looking a bit like that actually... ha ha!

[spudzyo]

OMG I love this song I always wanted to learn the solo for it thank you Queen

[jkeylor]

His name is Brian not Queen

[Lisihaldir]

GOD BLESS YOU BRIAN!

[edwin4759]

that was pretty informative finger style.

[henningc16]

Isn't that the guitar he made out of scratch?

[SignusMelko]

Yup

[bizarrebob]

@henningc16 - Yes he made it with his Dad.

[wowser77]

really, you skinnyjeans emo faggot? Go cut yourself. Waste of sperm and egg.

[skinnyjeans987]

im not dissing the tone

just i dislike the shape

[Tomriddle609]

oh lord! is he using the red special???

[devilworshiper06]

Ok Dick Head, We Dont Need Negative Comments

[dogdoo101]

it dosent matter wot the guitar looks like

the sound is wot matters.

[WeezerFan4Ever]

What a guitar god he is. The man is just so great. He has such a sweet feel.

[KBkingben]

whats with the 2 dots on the 7th and 19th fret instead of just the 12th?

[housemandoc23]

I think in England the way they mark frets is different.

[devilworshiper06]

Actually Its His Own Custom Made Guitar, So He Just Wanted It That Way.

[crue93]

Haha! yeh he made it himself so i guess he just liked it that way

[housemandoc23]

Oh, because I've seen other guitars marked like that.

[insanemembrane16]

Its actually his own custom made guitar he created. Us english are no different in marking frets.

[johnsmith]

It's already been said but .. it's his own custom guitar and it's very silly that you'd think us English people mark frets differently.. doesn't everybody get their guitars from china now?

[housemandoc23]

Damn, everyone keeps ratting on me for saying that I said that. I've seen many guitars with those kind of fret markers or, to be fair, similarly marked. Sorry...

[waciehawks]

Gorgeous!

The love of my life!!!

[ryifg345]

his hair is sweet i wish i had hair like that

[chopsueykkk1234]

what a sorrow and beautiful sound.

you are the maestro on guitar.

[classicrockrockz]

Idiot, Brian May is the greatest guitarist ever. Jealousy isn't very pretty on you :)

[kps142]

well that "fucking ugly gay faggot bastard who needs dinner and a haircut" has more talent in his ugly ass hair than you will ever have. He's also a millionare and has prob boned more beautiful women than you have jerked off to on your little computer. thats got to be a shit load of women.

[sebastiancardello]

brian goy 4 childrens

IGNORANT

and hope u die now.

[emoheartcannie]

Looks effortless!

Such a great guitarist, ;)

[Zeledi]

i can play this solo

but i can't find his guitar tone

[missboss1995]

ggggggggggg

[pikelesdenagar]

Brian made his own guitar =D

[stonefreeJMH]

Brain May has the sexiest tone ever!!!!

[dusenstrahlverfahren]

holy shit! I think the most complicated riff of Brian May is Innunedo. But I could be wrong.

[littleleaf96]

He can do what ever the fuck he wants, hes Brian Fucking May

[ziggystardustbowie]

ha the notes are right just different flats and sharps either way he wrote the solo so he can do what he wants with it

[RickyBonar]

Had to laugh at guy who said it was the wrong notes...

Perhaps they'd like to demomstrate what the correct ones are?

I do notice the japanese subtitles that get in the way...

I've always wondered the exact sequence on this solo.

My only criticism is that the entire piece isn't done. Perfect otherwise!

I wish Brian May or other major stars would post something too.

[ChesterDoraemon]

sounds terrible.

[Virtuoso883]

jackass

[gbmolz]

Brian May is a genius and u are a jackass!!!

[elsanchokaki]

he fucking came up with it you idiot hahaha u think u can do better??hahahahaha ur a joke!

[Mexicanorockr]

Brian May is Awesome hes my new idol

[greenajg12]

how can you spell the name of the song wrong when it is spelled correctly in the first five seconds of the video. it is Rhapsody not Rhapsidy.

[devilworshiper06]

Lol I Know I Was In A Rush

But I Fixed It A While Ago XD

Thanx Anyways

[emmetwhitey]

how the hell can you people go onto this video and accuse Brian May A.K.A The man who wrote the solo and say HE is playing the wrong notes!

[tygur91]

what people should be saying is he is playing it differently from the original track...but yeah he wrote it he can play it any way he wants

[nissanskyline16]

he isnt playing the wrong notes at all lol hes just stepd it down a key which i have no idea why actualy lol but brian may is the best and true he can play it any way he wants i also like the improvised ones when he did it live

[Riggleman81]

Correct. Brian said in an interview he simply forgot his positioning on the fretboard without playing with the rest of the song and accidentally played it a whole step down. :-)

[EmEs78]

Brian sei un mito!!!

[xLezzieDaLesPaulx]

I want that jumper...lmao

he looks so young =]

My dads getting me a red special in a few months =D he had the stupidity to ask me what colour so i just looked at him, as if to say 'DUH' cherry red obvs

lmao

xxty for da vid

[MASTA007i]

Beast

[fabstter193]

what guitar is he playing?

[komodo1220]

His own, that he built using an old fireplace.

[Niox117]

lol

[devilworshiper06]

Funny But True! :D

[simonesassari]

it's a Red Special,made by Brian May and his dad :)

[danitaly]

It's not a Red Special, it's THE Red Special :-)

[ADwERtheSnake]

this was the first electric guitar(not oficialy but true)he used some magnets to capture the strings sounds.

[Tasteysheds47]

my goal is to learn this solo by the end of the year!

[skasoulpunk]

i only learn this solo for just an hour dude!

[minibuu2]

omg he makes it look so easy

[fenixband54]

no doubt about brian may is a rock legend guitar god a icon to players but one thing i never get is that he never ever uses his pinky

[RayTheGuitar]

I should of watched THIS, before posting my version, Ha Ha

[Bitocchess]

Brian you were the best guitarist of the world, you are the best of the world and forever you it will be.Francisco(freddie)

[scottyryan123united]

I think Brian is awsome nd is my idol. but y when he plays this in this vid he plays it 2 frets down from original.?

[piccanninni]

LOL Brian still has the same hair. so does his wife!

[JB620]

Awesome guitarist :]

[Cricketrule]

Lovin the inlays

[Camsco1]

y does his guitar have a 2dot inlay on the 7th fret, a 3dot inlay on the 12th, a 2dot inlay on the 19th, and a 3dot inlay on the... 24TH?!?

[devilworshiper06]

Well Because Thats The Way He Wanted It.

Its His Custom Guitar, I Believe He And His Father Worked On It.

Not Sure.

[0musicrazy0]

He Built his "Red Special" with his Dad.

they did a BLOODY good Job!

[aneurysmi]

This is a guitarist named Brian May, not the band collectively known as Queen, doing a silly demo for those lovely japanese fans.

[iloveshittyassholes]

"this is uuugggghhh, tehe solo frommm, bohemian rhapsody" nice i have that same exact t shirt

[LinkBulletBill]

The begging of the video sounds wierd, but hey everyone makes mistakes, repeating and repeating, is just funny, but he's a guitar god..

"This is thuuuuuuugh,the solo from BohemianRhapsody."

[LinkBulletBill]

nice job, I like your remake of Queen, you really good at that solo, but something's missing... Who ever he is, he owned that solo...

JK! I know he's Brian, and I know he did the solo, it's just to show how people like freakystylety can be... He played like 99999 times... I think he mastered that song by now..

[devilworshiper06]

Thanx Bud, At Least I Know Ever Person In The World Isnt A Moron :D

[nissanskyline16]

brian is just the best no other words can be said lol

[LinkBulletBill]

brian is just the best, yah, but for me, my guitar idol is Jimmy Page, people tell it's a good idol to start off with as my first... But It's just my favorite, for me there's no better or best... They all do their music from one place, and it is from their hearts. They don't try to make a better song they just make a song. Bands now, you see them in intreviews saying that their tecnique is to try to make a better song, each time. I spit on that technique, that proves they're not talented...

[nissanskyline16]

yeh true everyone likes different to me brian ia my personal fave .

[domesticidiot156]

hell yea

[farrokhaa]

I think Brian himself knows the best beause he has played it SO many times. Although he plays everytime differently, he said like that in some interview.

[nissanskyline16]

yes when he plays it normal speed in this vid he plays 1 note less when he plays it slowly thats the note i wanna learn damn it lol brian rules

[spffootball]

wrong notes...1. it is problably harder 4 him to play slowly...second lets c u try and play it perfectly..smartone

[dgmusic7]

hey he was playing it a whole step down!

it doest take away anything from the solo but i noticed when i wanted to learn it which kinda mixed me up...great n e way tho

[trivster]

did he use the same guitar that he made throughout his career or did he make modifications.. obv being made by himself there must have been some probs..

[DOWATTS]

i was talking to freakystylety

[olympus1968]

Jajaja

[VHOBSESSED78]

Wait, what?

[DOWATTS]

he's played it like 9999 times HE KNOWS WHAT HE'S DOING you are the one who probably plays wrong notes!

[treead1]

Good effort?! Hes the one that made the solo not some new guitarist trying to play it...

[nissanskyline16]

lol what the hell the guy who posted that remark must be mentaly retarded lol brian play wrong notes ha as if

[lopiklop]

I think he may be joking guys...

[devilworshiper06]

Lol Nice One ;D

[dedespo]

He indeed played it differently than the studio version....he doesn't play wrong notes he just plays a couple less notes..i think he has the right to do that..

[ProjectoDi]

oh my god is so awesome.

Brian May!! Brian May!! Brian May!!

[DOWATTS]

brian may is my favorite guitarist EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!! u rock brian

[parisianUK]

He went to my school :)

[skylinrg]

how old is this movie ?

[Tavaresg]

Brian's guitar is customized. He built it himself.

[ReggaeDooood]

BRIAN MAY - 10/10 - He is like the god of guiters

[xGuitarshredderx]

He is amazing

[MuffinManFilms]

lol i have a red special replica... they are hard to come by now but my grandpa gave me his, and he got it from a pawn shop when he was like 24

[iloveshittyassholes]

I love the red special. I wish I had one.

[satisati111]

I want his T-shirt

[Tippmannking98a5]

twilight roshi i think its the red special

[Devin12354]

dose any one know if this is a 12 bar solo?

[twilightRoshi]

wats his guitar? please any1 answer...

[fru1tbooter14]

his own brand.

just google brian may guitar and red special

[grankan]

Is the red special briand made these whit his fhater but now have his own mark brian may guitras,bur are a little expensive.

[Nelsonmondeo]

hey can anyone tell me if brian may finger picks or uses a plectrum coz it looks lyk hes using a pick

[guitaristkenny]

he uses a six pence coin

[highroller540]

isn't he playing it in a different key in this video?

[donbotti]

This seems seems to be played on standard tuning, but he moved the whole solo two frets backwards. Kinda odd, too.

[tehorix789]

Man, for being posted in 2006, this video should have a lot more views. Maybe there should be more tags.

[sergioslashfan]

yeah, where did you find this video?

[sergioslashfan]

he is the best teacher you could have to learn this solo!!!

[denniz1]

hiii

[gfmgma]

where´s the link for the whole video?

[twelvesixx]

yes bitches the red special that he and his dad made out of an old fire place. come one people!!

[SamborRayVaughn]

Well done TWELVESIXX this guitar was in actual fact made by himself and his Father. The neck was actually constructed from the mantle piece of the fire surround. And as for the replicas of this guitar, they are actually manufactured to the same spec as the original, obviously not from old fire surrounds, and they are endorsed by Brian May. It is my understanding that they are no longer in production so if you have one, keep it and look after it

[thewhoyouknow]

left the end of the solo... :S

[laloprat]

is the red special...

[nissanskyline16]

u can get replicas made lol it will cost u bout 2300 pounds

[imsocool1474]

ur gettin ripped off in the uk then haha!

[nissanskyline16]

how ? i know u can get them cheaper so how . ? explain that how much can u get them for ?

[Boycey13]

You can buy them off the Queen website for £599. I dunno where you got the £2300 price from. A wee bit of research always helps.

[nissanskyline16]

u need to do the research actualy i said you can get replicas i allready have one cost me 449 down from 599 ur talking about the burns or brian may guitar model im talking about the rs classic or maybe u never heard of guild or guyton which cost around 7 thousand so ya no lol

[Boycey13]

I'm not a guitar geek so I wouldn't really know.

No need to go off the deep end. Let's face it, that comment easily applied to the many people in this discussion who blindly asked the question without looking for themselves. You didn't need to take it personally.

Since your research and guitar geekness is well honed might I suggest some work on spelling and punctuation?

Yerbumsoothewindae!

[nissanskyline16]

i wasnt been funny and i dont care about all that its only a comment its faster way of doing it whats point in making a youtube comment take longer and just look good no point im not writing a letter man lol and i wasnt been funny honestly just maybe the way my comment seems sorry i cant help it

[Boycey13]

Fair enough. I stand corrected. However, I will stick on the punctuation thing. It might take less time to make a comment for you but it's takes longer for people to understand what you're trying to say.

This whole thing is about communication after all.

If people don't understand you then they treat you like a twat the way i just did.

Awrabest.

[nissanskyline16]

Ok. i understand. i know its about communication but most people understand short words. like sumtimes i shorten words so its faster to reply thats all. wel im sorry i started a useless convosation about the subject.

[remnantwings]

I think its the one he and his dad made together

[jookiyaya]

oh shit what guitar is that?

[latinohomiejo071593]
