Thanks for this tutorial, could you do a tutorial with more explanations on where your fingers are, cos I can't keep up! Thanks for taking the time for this one though!

[zouanmagic]

i love your red special guitar

[natalice3]

It is good but it will never sound as good as Brian's solo, simply because he is the best and the original. but seriously well done. :)

[juanrgisbert]

Thanks, man. Really really great. Please keep on with Brian's solos, it's so useful.

Brighton rock Live Killers, maybe?

Thanks a lot!

[224364]

it's sound the same like the original.....you are a rock man

[scricciolotopo]

[basix4]

[scricciolotopo]

[basix4]

@johnhansen2007 Thanks a lot John. The amp pedal and also speaker sets are available from Maunel. His site is DoxyWorld.Type it in here.The link is also in my profile page. There it shows you of his products and how you can get hold of them.I use a Cornish TB-83 booster into the Doxy amp.This was recorded directly from the amp using the DI out option and this was then fed into my laptop. Recorded using Adobe Audition 1.5 then added some small delay and reverb from that.

[johnhansen2007]

wher can i bue thist amp-in -a -pedal send to johnhansen2007@yahoo.dk.

[7752]

does anyone know where I could find guitar chords to match the vocal part of this song? I'm happy to say I've learned the solo sections to it and wouldn't mind being able to include freddie's spine-chilling vocals in performance of it :)

[mcenlyhh]

desde ayer tengo una brian may :D me encanta como suena

[michaelforeverchri94]

what do you use to have the sound so long and high as effect??????

[basix4]

@michaelforeverchri94 Adeson pickups, treble booster into a Deacy replica amp. My friend sells an 'amp-in-a-pedal' that will get you sounding just like this. It came 2nd to the original Deacy amp in a recent blind-test even beating the official new 'Fryer Deacy' replica!!! How good is that?

[bizarrebob]

@basix4 - where can i get the amp-in-a-pedal you mention?? thanks

[Flopy87]

Soooo cool! Thanks!!!

[eliotidiot]

hey! a tutorial about how to make a "red special" would be nice :D

[basix4]

I did make it and I do make them. Mine have all the features of the- original- truss rod, chambers, switch-plate, trem,materials, etc etc....

you don't have to pay £3,500 either.Mine are less than that. The subtleties of the original are always gonna be there...even with 2 identical CNC made guitars there will be differences.We did (RS forum) a comparison using many RS makes and it was a shame that the Guyton (£7K) didn't score very highly....just goes to show you. Peoples perceptions.... ;)

[megalomania29]

oh thanks, i planed to learn it

[WannaBeBrianMay]

Good Evening , dear Basix !

I am a young guitarist , only 16 years old , great fan of Queen !

Your tutorial are very very usefull , because i'm learning a lot of Queen's songs with them !

That's perfect , as the album version ;)

Good bye from Giuseppe

Milan , Italy

CIAO !

[basix4]

Bijou!

It's from Innuendo album......

[cvhf650]

what song is dis?

[sophieR565]

great sound pal.. brian may is king.. true guitar god.. this is why we are all on here.. finding out how they play these incredible n moving guitar pieces.. nice lesson.. imagine if u could compose that yourself? As Brian said..u gotta create yr own licks. nice vid pal ;-)

[Fuzzums2]

sorry what effect did u use??

[basix4]

No effect when I played it through the Doxy amp......

I added some delay and small reverb afterwards for the audio (from Adobe Audition 1.5)

[ezedel1]

muchas muchas gracias!

[kkristiyan]

Thank you.....I love you.

[basix4]

Yes it can be harder but I did mention in the video an example of hitting the high high E (24th fret) if you had a 22 or 21 fretted guitar......harder yes! but good bend workout....

[offtherivers]

what an amazing sound man...unfortunately i can't afford a red special yet, but i'm gonna try it with my fender anyway. Thanks!

[nissanskyline16]

be alot harder with a fender! ive tried lol as it doesnt have as many frets as the redspecial. also last horizon is a bit harder on another guitar. as i have a fender type guitar.

[techneeee]

thanks man, it sounds awesome, i'm gonna try it

[beavisbb1]

инструмент хороший.но у автора руки из жопы

[basix4]

Don't speak Russian....???

[beavisbb1]

уг

[juanrgisbert]

So wonderful... Thanks!! It's very helpful, thank you very much indeed

[negroringo]

Fuck! You are so so good! This was an orgams! Thanks! I gonna try to do it

[mmp11]

thanks for your answer!

how did u get a red special replica and how much did it cost?

[basix4]

I made it. Costs vary really for parts. Most expensive is the tremolo and bits. Finding a good part-maker can be tough and pricey but I have a good friend who helps me. I still continue to make them to order.

[mmp11]

how much would it cost me one?

[mmp11]

really helpful man ;)

question: how do i get all the sustains you get? to me it's imposible to get some of the notes you reach because i lose the sound so quick...

i don't onw a red special, neither a treble booster, maybe that's the reason.

im trying to play it with no amp, only the guitar rig and my guitar plugged to computer

is that posible?

thanx in advance for everything

[basix4]

Depends what 'rig' you are using I suppose. Straight guitar into computer won't allow you to get the sustain.I used a Deacy pedal driven by the treble-booster.This gave me lots of sustain.The guitar wasn't full up either.Maybe some booster pedal could help you get a better result (Tube screamer or whatever) but play it into the amp rather than straight into the computer.That way you get some interaction from the speaker which will help with the sustain issue?

[camtimfla]

In My Opinion my amigo ... perfecto!!!

from argentina!!! keep rocking!!!

[buttmunch10]

Fantastic Matt.

Ian. Australia

[redspecialrules]

matt that was a great guitar piece,im learning bijou at the mo and its very difficult to pull of,i love the step by step breakdown,ure sound is so close to the original 5***** mate well done this will help me a lot...

[basix4]

Glad it's helping...That's what they are here for. Good luck with it.

[redspecialrules]

thanks mate much appreciated,love all ure wee bends and twiddles and great sustain brian esque...

[mattmay05]

Thanks matt been waiting for this for a while! Cheers!

[redspecialguy]

matt great job im unsure on that F bending on the G tho everything else sounds exellent

[basix4]

You're unsure....why? Give it a try yourself....you will find it very hard I think. Listen carefully to the album version too...it is there...

[basix4]

Had another very very close listen the the Original.....I am very happy what I have assumed and included in the tutorial is very very close.This is not a performance video....only a way to show the notes,techniques etc...The F-G's are there. They are used to allow the bend note(target note) to come thru with a smoothness that the originl has..and what wouldn't be possible by seperate fretting...Listen to it very closely?You may then see what I meen???

[redspecialguy]

ok matt matt no worries

[redspecialguy]

it just seemed a bit of slightly . im not attacking your playing matt just saying my opinion on it i have tried it i realise i made the mistake on the slide down you do at the begening spot on i did that rong

please check mine try of it out . all so ive tried learning from you on sleeping on the sidewalk have a look give me your thoughts please thanks

[redspecialrules]

how does that sound of?it sounds awesome u try get close to matts sound not lol...

[pumpmasterkraken]

*picks up guitar* Gotta try this....great job man!
