In 1983, Star Licks Productions created a series of instructional videos featuring well-known musicians demonstrating their unique musical styles and techniques. The portfolio debuted with a wide-ranging group of players including Steve Lukather of Toto, Tony Iommi (Black Sabbath), Al McKay (Earth, Wind & Fire) guitarist Albert Lee, and acclaimed guitarist/educator Wolf Marshall.
In this video, Brian discusses his equipment and techniques, and demonstrates a number of his guitar solos. He covers both famous and lesser known Queen songs, including Brighton Rock, Tie Your Mother Down, Somebody To Love, It's Late, Dead On Time, Put Out The Fire, It's A Hard Life, Keep Yourself Alive, Jesus, Father To Son and Crazy Little Thing Called Love.
The programme was produced and directed by Mark Freed and Robert Decker, and recorded at Sarm West, London, England. The video was originally released in 1983 and later reissued in 1993/4.
Note from Brian :
Mark initially came to me with an idea for making audio cassettes of guitarists explaining their techniques. It seemed a good one and we arranged to meet and make it happen. But I said ... if we’re going to the trouble of recording this stuff, why not film it as well, and make it into a Video Cassette ?! So we made a ‘pilot’ video, and people liked it, and this became the template for a whole collection of videos which, I think, stand up very well to this day.
Maybe we should do an update ?!

About my new KZfaq channel:
The official BRIAN MAY CHANNEL is designed to carry anything on film or video that relates to me [Brian May] outside Queen - to replace all the bits and pieces of music video that are currently around out there with new highest quality versions, and fill in the gaps; and to cover under one umbrella the other areas that I operate in … Stereoscopy, Astronomy, and my animal welfare work through my charity the Save Me Trust. Each of these areas will have their own playlist on the Brian May channel. But the intended pivot of it all is the entirely new part that we’re calling Brian Talks. This section will carry current ‘to the camera’ comments, updates and communications, and I’m hoping it will be a proper ‘voice’ for me, an outlet, as well as a way of glueing together the rest of the channel.

Go ahead and get a guitar. My recommendation, a Glarry guitar. They are good, less than $100. Get a package = guitar + amp. Strat, Tele, two humbucker, hum + single + hum styles. Light, basswood, 22 frets. Delivery included in the price. Then, select a decent guitar course. You will enjoy it. For more fun, also get a Casio arranger keyboard. Perhaps a CDP-350S? A think that is the model. 88 key, built in 200 rhythms, about $400. Then your little brother or sister can play with you and sing. Lots of free music on the Internet. Chords and lyrics to songs. Or, a friend can come over and play and sing with you. Have some fun.

Most of the time when I hear a guitar being played, I hear a guitar being played no matter how well it is being played. But when Brian May's playing guitar, his guitar is straightly TALKing to me like. So far he is the only guitarist that made me uncontrollably teared up. I've never seen him played for the sake of showing off, he always played to serve a song. That takes confidence, humbleness, character and off the chart talent. Absolutely a league of his own!!!

The Red Special is the coolest guitar ever made. I think it's amazing that he managed to make a guitar with his dad that has such a distinctive and amazing sound. He managed to make a guitar that is arguably better than all the super high end Gibsons, Fenders, PRSs, and everything else out of a fucking reclaimed cabinet. He is also an incredibly creative god of guitar, and he has made so much amazing music through his life. Such an inspiration!

Brian always comes across as a humble and sincere man, he is certainly committed to the things that are near and dear to him.

Brian was pretty nonchalant about it, almost as if he didn't really want to admit he tapped! Always a pleasure to learn something from Brian May. In my guitar endeavors, I'm just content to make a little noise. All these Masters, whether you admire them or not , Malmsteen, May, Hendrix, Blackmore, Di Meola, Eobert Cray, all inspired me to play.
