Brian May - Episode 20

Episode 20

Saturday, November 5, 2022 • Duration 01:16:47

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.
