Bohemian Rhapsody - Brian May Starlicks Guitar Tutorial (1983)
About | Information | History | Online | Facts | Discovery
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 ?!

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.

im trying to get as much info and lessons on this song as i possibly can,the verse "so you think you can stone me,etc" is just so heavy and killer,the whole thing as a lesson would be amazing,but i'll take what i can get,aspecially a lesson by brian himself,an honour.

One of my favorite all-time solos, as well as Killer Queen. Perhaps Bohemian Rhapsody could be considered Freddie Mercury's aria.

One of the greatest solos ever! I took up guitar because of hearing the wonderful playing of Brian May back in 1980. Best tone I have ever heard from a guitar too. :-)

Brian's guitar riifs are very emotive, refined and poignant on this masterpiece song.
-
as homer once said... when i was 17....
-
The score looks like a baroque score with all the ornamentation, this is how refined, fluid, expressive and dynamic this masterpiece is!!
Brian, i've been wondering for years--please give a hint sometime:
at two/three occasions on the voice of Freddie there seems to be clearly applied some sort of voice splitter/harmonizer. What kind of gear was that??
Im not talking about the wonderful regular layering you guys did, im talking about extremely clear electronic voice harmonized multiplyer of some sorts. I am very curious what gear can do that! Thanks my man, admiring your constant causes coming from the heart, aiming at at world of caring, integrity, joy and harmony between all beings! -
Dr. Brian, Please record something like this, but new :D I think we all will be pleased. :D
