Brian May's Red Special by Brian May
In 1963, Brian May and his father started to build the Red Special--an electric guitar meant to outperform anything commercially made. Here, Brian talks about his one-of-a-kind instrument, which he played on every single Queen album and during the band's amazing shows. Along with original diagrams, sketches, and notes, May includes a great selection of photographs of himself with the guitar as well as close-ups and X-rays.In 2007 Brian May, best known as the lead guitarist of the supergroup Queen, completed the PhD in astrophysics that he abandoned when Queen first started to find fame. He has his own personal column where he writes about topics including astrophysics, music, photography and his life experiences. He continues to tour with Queen + Adam Lambert.
Simon Bradley has been a guitar journalist since 1996, and he has written hundreds of articles and interviews on all aspects of the instrument for many magazines and web sites including Guitarist, Total Guitar, What Guitar?, Classic Rock, Metal Hammer, Future Music, MusicRadar.com, Brianmay.com, and many more.
