Last time I looked this was about Jeff Beck, not Brian May I have a tee shirt, on the front it states I *ing hate Queen, on the back it states outlaw this pompous operatic bullshit, it's just so unnecessary !!! Designed to be offensive and let others know my views on Queen. And by the way (Dr if you don't mind.....) Brian May isn't that good a guitarist, plenty in front of him, music is subjective after all Do we have to have every thread with music involved turned into an I love Queen sort of terrorist post? Rant over. LOL

Reading between the lines of what JB said we may not get the players in until the last day or two of the window and may have to make do against Wycombe and Morecambe and hope we get some points

"In my time as Editor of Total Guitar it has been my pleasure to interview Brian May on several occasions. Once, when our readers voted him the greatest guitarist of all time. Again, when readers voted his solo in Queen’s Bohemian Rhapsody as the greatest of all time. And again, with the passing of Eddie Van Halen, when Brian wished to pay tribute to his friend and reminisce about their collaboration in the 80s with the Star Fleet Project.
Now, with this month’s cover story, I believe we have delivered exactly what we promised on the cover: the ultimate Brian May interview. He is celebrating another major milestone in the history of Queen – the 50th anniversary of the band’s debut album. And as he recalls the key moments of their amazing career, the focus is on the songs that he wrote for Queen – including We Will Rock You, the mother of
all rock anthems and The Show Must Go On, in which the group’s legendary singer Freddie Mercury delivered his last great performance.
Alongside this huge in-depth interview, we have a lengthy tutorial on how to play like Brian."
Chris Bird, Total Guitar Editor

I was answering KP's question. To understand what a great guitarist he is you only have to listen to some of the hundreds of records or live recordings. I can recommend some to you if you wish? I am sure when he passes he will be hailed by many as the greatest, of course that won't be everyone's opinion but it will be mine I took guitar lessons at one time and the teacher was showing me 'Killer Queen'. I remarked on the arpeggio bit and how was it played. The guy looked at me with a sort of "are you for real" expression, and said "it's a harmoniser - it generates harmony notes to his basic phrase." You need to be careful about what is actually played and what is studio generated. [/quote] Probably the only guitarist to get a degree in astrophysics, Queen's lead guitarist (and frequent songwriter) is a brainy adventurer who's always seeking new effects. An early goal of his was "to be the first to put proper three-part [guitar] harmonies onto a record" – like the orchestrated squeals of his solo in "Killer Queen." Brian May layered dozens of guitar parts onto individual tracks, building palatial walls of sound. Appropriately, even his instrument sprang from his imagination: His main guitar, the Red Special, a.k.a. the Old Lady, is a homemade wonder, constructed by May and his father in the early Sixties out of components including wood from a fireplace (he has been known to play it with a sixpence coin rather than a pick). It's yielded everything from the pirouetting, trebly solo in "Bohemian Rhapsody" to the proto-metal riffing of "Stone Cold Crazy." "I can listen to any player and pantomime their sound," Steve Vai said, "but I can't do Brian May. He's just walking on higher ground."

Achievements would be things he has accomplished in his life It would take me hours to go through all achievements so here are a few He built the Red Special with his father and still uses it today. Which other guitarist can claim that? He wrote masses of Songs for Queen and other artists (I could only find 21 by Jeff Beck) did Beck write a number one song? He has produced and collaborated with many artist including the likes of Black Sabbath Kerry Ellis, Meatloaf and FOO Fighters, Lady Ga Ga (who nicked her name from Queen's Radio Ga Ga) As part of Queen he has been charting for now 6 decades 70's, 80's 90's 00's 10's and 20's Queen Greatest hits album - 1st and only British artist to sell 7 million copies in the UK (also most weeks in the album charts by a British Band and still at number 13 in the charts today) Bohemian Rhapsody - Regularly voted by various polls as Greatest Song of all time, also most streamed song of the 20th Century and only song to be Xmas #1 twice by same artist Queen musical "We Will Rock You" still running after 21 years and showed in 28 countries Queen Film Bohemian Rhapsody - broke all box office records for a bio Pic Oh and the late Queen bless her tapped along to his song at the Platinum Jubilee (don't forget he also played on the palace roof in 2002 and the closing ceremony of the 2012 Olympics) - no other guitarist did any of that Sir Brian has a PHD in Astro Physics - has worked with NASA, saves Badgers and Foxes and is a pioneer of Stereoscopy Not one of your points shows he's a great guitarist.

Success in the guitar world isn't measured in record sales or box office receipts. It's about recognition from your peers. As a pro guitarist for 45 years, with plenty of my own albums out there, let me tell you this. Every, and I mean every top guitarist rates Jeff Beck as the Guvnor. You would severely embarrass Brian May by even trying to compare them. Queens success is a seperate thing altogether. Absolutely he would and here is Sir Brian's tribute to him - Doesn't change my opinion though

There is no argument List of Becks achievements is equivalent to a "Match Day Thread", List of Sir Brian's is equivalent to the Fruit Market Thread! Don't get me wrong, Beck was a great guitarist and admired by Sir Brian, but Sir Brian's achievements are unequalled by any Guitarist or even artist (apart from maybe McCartney) What are your definitions of achievements please Sean ? Achievements would be things he has accomplished in his life It would take me hours to go through all achievements so here are a few He built the Red Special with his father and still uses it today. Which other guitarist can claim that? He wrote masses of Songs for Queen and other artists (I could only find 21 by Jeff Beck) did Beck write a number one song?
