Hello there 👋
Welcome to the home of the Red Special Guitar Podcast.
In this instalment today we are talking to Dr Brian Harold May himself. If you don’t know the story of the Red Special then you are in for a treat as Brian and his Dad built the guitar out of necessity when Brian was a 16 year old boy. What is more impressive is that he has used that same guitar not only through his whole recording career with Queen but he has also used it live every night on every tour for almost 60 years. In the episode we talk about everything from building the guitar, politics, animals, the Worldwide Red Special Community, his relationship with his dad Harold. This was a real honour for me to get to sit down with Bri and talk about all of this. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did recording it.

Great podcast Jon, thank you, Brian is a wonderfully humble chap. I'm a Radiographer and had the honour to have scanned the Red Special. I believe it was either late 90's or 2002 ish and they were looking at producing replicas of the Red and obviously it having been built in such unique circumstances they weren't exactly sure what was going on inside. Brian's guitar tech brought the guitar in to the CT scan department at Bart's Hospital in London and my Superintendent at the time Adrian and myself performed a CT scan on her. It was a little overwhelming to think this was the actual iconic guitar that produced all those incredible songs. After we scanned it, I seem to remember some rather cheesy photos of me with it slung over my neck, sadly before the time when mobile phones were a thing, so I don't have copies!

What a great interview and what an awesome person is Brian May. He's been a huge influence on me personally as a guitarist and here he is after 40+ years of success....and he's such a gracious, kind man. There are no words for how incredibly wonderful this made me feel, so perhaps I will leave you with the phrase I came up with for the "hey we can fix it in the mix," crowd (who are still around today). _You can't polish a turd!_ 🤟😆🤣

What a awesome person is Brain May. I was inspired with the story of him and his Dad. My father was similar in that he took interest in our lives. The Red special guitar is truely a labour of love for Brain. I bought the Red special guitar book when It first came out was would read it through over and over. It just proves that when there is a will there’s a way. You don’t alway have to buy a fender or Les Paul and can build a guitar if you really want to. Brian is a inspiration to all guitar builders. The wiring within it and switch arrangement is simply brilliant. The roller bridge is what should be on every guitar. Brian and his great Dad made a instrument ahead of it’s time. Every time Brian plays that guitar his father is with him. I’ve heard the red special at the Queen concert in Melbourne Australia. Awesome. Great interview. Thanks again.

I finally got around to watching this. Excellent interview and Brian seems like such a lovely bloke. There were a few things in there I didn't know and it was great hearing them. Although I've never made a Red Special, I did make my own guitar when I was 16 as well and took some inspiration from Brians guitar (my Dad also helped). It was SG shaped but thicker, more like a LP, screw on neck with the V shaped headstock, 3 pickups (although the bridge was a humbucker with single neck and middle), floyd rose tremolo, 3 slider DP3T switches that could do the off/on/phase and I also added a parallel/series switch (and that diagram I draw way back when is still floating around the internet). When I look back on it, it's very reminiscent of the guitar Phil X uses now in terms of the body and thickness. I had planned on building a red special and bought some of the parts a few years back, then came across a copy which I purchased. Swapped out the pickups for actual Burns Tri-sonic Brian May pickups and there was the sound. Although you can't help play "Fat Bottom Girls" and "Tie Your Mother Down" when you strap it on LOL.

Brian May's father deeply loved him but couldn't understand how he would be able to make a living and build a life through being a musician which caused conflict, disappointment and estrangement for a long time which, fortunately, was overcome because Brian is incredibly talented and found complementary musical artists who he collaborated and succeeded with. He always has his father with him in his Red Special guitar helping him succeed.

I would have thought Sir Brian would know the difference between a fingerboard and a fretboard. Fingerboards are indicative of fretless instruments such as violins, cello's, upright bass, and fretboards are on fretted instruments eg the guitar! I used to make all sorts of things with my dad when I was a kid and a few years before he passed away I built my first 3D printer as there were only industrial machines around at that time which cost more than my house, and we got to building things together again, he would make sketches on paper and then I would convert that into CAD drawings and then slice the file and then printout the parts

I know a lot of what he says here has been said before, but you see the honesty in his face which i've found incredibly touching in this video. How he talks about his dad left me pretty choked. But the question of what he thinks his dad would think of the red special meet ups, and people talking about the replica's they've made, has really hit home what Brian and his dad have created. It's like they've created a motorbike that competes with the old classics. Just amazing. I went to the house they built the guitar earlier this year. The shed is still there. I so hope a blue plaque is put there or its turned into a museum.

While I respectfully disagree with Brian on one or 2 things politically, I will never have any less respect or appreciation for him as a musician, a legend and a person because he is very much a kind, humble, respectful and genuine bloke, who is very much down to earth and just wants the best for everyone in a good way and I don't get how anyone could or would not respect him for that. As a lefty guitarist, it has always painted me that access to better quality guitars has always been much more lacking due to fewer instruments that are worth the cost or that are truly affordable. I had considered making my own guitar, but I neither have the knowledge, finances, tools or any kind of work space to make it a reality and even then, I would most likely bugger it up anyway. Maybe one day I'll be able to get a Red Special replica because of all the guitar legends out there, Brian May's Red Special is still that one instrument that is still decades ahead of it's time and I don't think either Brian or Harold May would have imagined just how unique and amazing "The Old Fireplace" would become. Awesome interview Jon and only just discovered this channel and interview today, which you now have another new subscriber. Thank you for the music and inspiration over the years Brian May and to you Jon for a great interview.

Brian is on of the most amazing human beings I know. He is one of the most known and respected musicians of our time, a solid scientist, activist and so much more, yet he speaks to people as a member of their family, as an old friend who came by for a nice and cozy dinner. Every single topic and opinion he speakes out seems taken from our everyday conversations about the human race, it's ups and downs: Brexit, Ukrain, Armenia, politics, animals, human relations... Simply a-mazing!

What you should have asked was early Queen or after 1980 Queen , give him a toughie !!! And watch that massive brain/brian explode , because you know he wants to say early.

This is a lovely thing to watch. I read a meme the other day (sign of the times *rollseyes*) that said: Thankyou music, for being there when no-one else was. This is an unspoken part of music imho. Music is so much more than just something to listen to. It's how it makes you feel, it's nostalgia, it's feel-good vibes and it's an arm around your shoulder. Music is the universal language of the world - everyone knows the whole do-rey-mi - and I like that connection with everyone else. As for Dr Brian May; he was kind enough to reply a message that I'd left once here on youtube; with intention of connecting with the fans through the pandemic. That is the kind of guy he is. Humble, gentile, immensely likeable. Great podcast. Enjoyed it a lot...

I learned about these podcasts through Sarah Rugg. She is an amazing artist. I'm so glad she led me to this. I'm always both impressed and amazed how down to earth and humble Sir Bri is. I don't really think he's fully realized, and may never, how many people over the world he's brought together in many different ways. He is so inspiring to me as a human. I could go on and on, but I'll leave it here, that you, Jon did a most spectacular job of being the perfect host. Thank you for this.

Unique guitarist, unique sound. No surprised that his guitar is a one off - plus the fact that Brian uses a coin as a plectrum. Great to hear the detail and his recollection of the experience with his father when putting the guitar together. Good interview. Never having to re-fret the original guitar is astonishing. Why Brian? "...the people get the leaders they deserve" [Plato ~400BC]

Wow, as a Queen fan is absolutely incredible to have the chance to see Mr Brian May speaking like this face to face, like if he was talking straight to my face on a videocall. I remember the old days in internet, I would visit elblogdequeen almost everyday, I was all crazy about Queen and Brian May, recently I bought his signature Amplitube kit and now I can play his songs with his tone while I watch him telling stories about Queen, how fantastic is this??? God save the Queen!!!
