BRIAN MAY:
"KEEP YOURSELF ALIVE Part 2
Don’t even THINK of watching this if you’re not interested in guitars, Queen music , or musings on the CoronaVirus. This is the conclusion of my MicroConcert of last night - which veers off into a Star Lick tutorial. And some noodling. And some concluding thoughts about the situation we’re all in, as humans, right now. THANKS so much for the comments you’ve sent me about these guitar Microcosms - it’s actually taught me a lot in terms of what I have to offer and what I might be doing with it in order to maximise its effect. We all need to be aware of the effect we have on those around us - if we have time to stop and listen. We all need a mirror.
Take care dear folks
Bri"

I live in California and was going through my metal Starbucks mints container(not sure if they make them anymore) where I keep a collection of picks of different types and sizes(some just found on the ground) and found a 2008 five pence coin(don't know where I came across this little gem) to play along with Brian. Its as close as I could get.

It's actually insane that we have a chance to sit down and watch Brian explain this sort of stuff! Thank you !
A mega star taking time to help, educate and entertain us all. Greatest respect, stay safe be well be happy. I love your music and all Queen have done as a band.
God bless you too Brian, and thank you for keeping in touch with us! Much love and respect!❤️🎸❤️🌎❤️🎸❤️
Ok, talking about the effect you may have on US, your audience, perhaps you can't imagine how much I appreciate this kinda contribution... seeing the Master playing the licks he once created, when he and his mates were on top... It's amazing, trust me, even if I never make it to see Queen live, to see you this close and explaining the licks to us... This kind of stuff for me it's just inspiring, to say the least... I was born in 1988, three years before Freddie died... sometimes I find strange the fact that he and I and Queen coexisted in those 3 years evethough I didn't know the band back then... sometimes I think what could've been of Queen if Freddie was still around these days... but well, his legacy and the remaining members of Queen continue to make history... And yes, I really enjoy seeing you play this close... ok no more words... just a HUGE THANK YOU! Let's continue to beat 'the bastard' as well!
Back to the light was an album that i listened to in the dark. Still a favourite of mine.
Loving the generosity Brian is showing in sharing these moments. Back of my mind I expect Anita to come in with a cup of tea for him. “Cup of tea love?” Go on. Do it ! 👏🏽👏🏽🥰
You make it look so easy, still my favourite guitarist of all time
Brian, Legend! it's a miracle that we can talk via the net. God bless you. Keep yourself alive! Together we can win!
Your heart is bigger than your stardom, you take the time to not only think about others but to open your private side of life up! A real treat, I love you as one of the loudest guitar legends alive. Yet I believe your concern for all the average folk outshines your rockstar. May you live forever!!!!! Love from Iowa U.S.
Brian just wanted you to know that when I was growing up in the 90s I was the most unpopular kid in school. Everyone was in to rave music. I tried to enjoy too but it wasn't my thing. I discovered Queen through my friend's father and everything changed for me. I started with the greatest hits volumes and progressed from there. I was blown away with how good you guys were! It had a HUGE impact on my developing years and for that I wish to THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart. You inspired me to learn the guitar and my whole judgement on how good bands are is compared to Queen (and your solo stuff! particularily Back to the Light album). For this I want to say greetings from ireland and THANK YOU!!!!
Thank you Brian for entertaining us and giving us these great lessons during this down time. You are a great inspiration . You lift us up with your kind words and wisdom and withYour music.
Break thru is my top 3 favourite queen song choice it's the words I love.. they mean more now than ever
This is awesome! Thank you Dr.May!
Wow this is fantastic....thank you so much for taking the time to talk/play for us like this...stay safe...much love to you..
Legendary! If you’re reading, try turning your phone sideways into landscape mode when you record next. That way we can enjoy you and your Red Special in the full-screen glory that it deserves! Thank you.
Thanks so much, Brian! This means so much to me, especially now. I'm trapped inside my house right now, and it's a horrible feeling. Love ya, and thanks for brightening up my day!
Seeing your hair in real life while you’re playing makes me happy. I’ve raised my girls on your music. THANK YOU!!
Another amazing upload. I could listen to you talk all day. A very soothing voice.
How I wish I could hug you, Bri.... My heart's overflowing with so much love I can't stand it!!
Has anyone ever told you how soothing and calming the timbre of your speaking voice is? Well...it is. You exude calmness, clarity, common sense, and inspire a sense of trust in the listener. Your kind of voice is what we all need right now so desperately. What you are doing for all of us right now is beyond words. Just saying “thank you” doesn’t seem near enough, but it will have to suffice: Thank you so much, Brian, for your humanity, you compassion, your kindness, your love for the world and all its myriad creatures. Your sharing of yourself right now is a gift to all of us. God bless you and keep you safe. Helene in Nevada
My crazy haired rockstar you're amazing 😎
Sweeeeeeet! I went outside first in ten days and my cypress and Crepe Myrtle trees grew leaves! Ten days ago they were bare 😺

Brian, I have seen Queen 3 times 70s-80s by far the best shows I have ever seen. I think the world of you, I have been in bands for over 40 years and you are not only the most clever guitar player I have ever heard you are a Awesome vocalist. Stay safe! Best, Buddy Love Toledo, Ohio
I love You Brian May.
Wonderful! :) I tried learning to play guitar a few years ago and it only served to remind me that I have absolutely no musical inclination at all. It's something I'm more than happy to leave to the experts :) Thank you for this -- it's bright light in a dark time
Always loved 'Keep yoursef alive' very much, your guitar tone was so special back then- and still is! Thank you for sharing your thoughts and music with us. Hang on in there!
Thank you so much Brian, these little clips are keeping me sane! Please keep safe and to everyone else too
In this pandemic, being quarantined, Queen is my therapy. When I’m sad, I listen to Queen. When one of my pets died, Queen was there. I want to thank you Brian May, for doing this. A lot of people appreciate it so much.
Thank you Brian, it's such a blessing to have you with us here these days. Love and greetings from an old fan of Queen from Nice, France.
The Queen in 3D book in the background makes my day❤️
God bless you Brian, thanks and keep yourself alive too!
Brian Good morning (Japan) and Good evening for you! Thank you so much😊❤️ I'm happy heard that your heart. Arigatou gozaimasu!
Hi from Munich, one of your old haunts, have been a Queen fan for more than 40 years, appreciate your posts
We will learn how to play guitar after this is all sorted ☺️. You're a great teacher!
Can you show a little of "One Vision" solo? that was the first Queen song i ever learned thanks so much for these videos, i look forward to them every day
I've seen God 3 times in my life: 1981-1992-2008... all of them in Buenos Aires, Velez Sarsfield stadium. Thanks Brian for so many wonderful moments... ever!!!
A dream come true for me to see this. Thank you Brian. Can Roger to join you one day? Or maybe Tim, I heard him sing Doin' Alright in Japan recently which was great. Maybe James Rundle could join you for an interview or a jam. It would be great for BM guitars to sponsor him with a Super after all the marketing he has done for Red Specials. He is a lovely guy working hard to make what you do understandable for all of us. I would love to hear you talk through the stories behind the songs and how they came about if you would be willing to reveal that. Thank you again Brian for all the years of pleasure Queen and especially Keep Yourself Alive have given me.

Yes! James Rundle has to be the most dedicated Queen/Brian May fan here on YT who actually knows what their music is about and loves to share his knowledge. Always great to watch his videos.

The UK is in lockdown, no-one should be joining Brian unless they already live in the house. The only way to include anyone outside the house is by video conference.
Thank you for music, guitar lesson's with a master and for your words about,and for, humanity
This is so cool. It’s like a happy trip down memory lane. Thanks for well wishes. Same to you and yours.
Great stuff! My parents are huge Queen fans. They saw them live three times in Birmingham back in the 80's. I was never a fan as a child but now I play the 6 string, I have learnt to love and respect Brian May and Queen.
i am very great full mister Brian May that you offer such informality i’m these clips it really bring feeling of true community hope people can still be personal and care ! thank you i am guitar nerd i love your playing your choice of notes and i always liked your eloquence in your guitar work
First Queen song I ever learned to play on guitar at 17 years of age. Still bang it out from time to time at 60. Timeless in my world. Queen forever.
The Rock Doc on lock down!!! Thanks Mr Brian Sir!!!
This is so cool, Brian May making daily videos, i love it. Please keep doing this!

It didn t use to be that way. When i started playing the guitar, i would see Brian May playing on the tv once every 5 years for the royal wedding or whatever. Or i would watch the Wembley concert for the 2000 times, closely analysing every note. Now it s every day i see Brian playing on my phone, and i receive a notification for that. Arff... that s amazing.
Love to watch you play!! Thanks so much for staying with us in this crazy time 💖
Brian, you're one of the most beautiful people I have ever seen. You're smart, handsome, and oh so talented. You're also loved and adored by many. Please tell me you'll tour the US again? Love you Brian, and RIP Freddie 💞
These guitar tutorials and riffs are keeping our spirits up during our house quarantine. Your 3-D books are also entertaining us. Fascinating! Thank you!
Incredible...Thank you so much many times over!!
Thanks so much Brian for giving me a mental break during the worst time in my life .
Dear Brian, I can't tell you how much you sharing with us means to all of us. You don't have to do this for us and yet here you are doing it. Thank you from the good ol' U.S. of A.
It is outstanding tutoring. My hat off to you Brian! I would like to ask for more and I hope to see and learn more. Highly appreciate your time doing this.
Thanks for these informal feeling videos, certainly keeping me alive....
Brian..Your sharing ...kind and thoughtful. Just a fan of music. ..like some of your music not all. I do love love Freddie's voice and his singing. So much love from you to your fans...and most of all humanity. Feels good at a time like this.
Thank you again, just the kind of magic moments we need right now. You were blessed with a such talent to charm us all for good. Always loved how your own red special guitar sound.
Thanks Dr. May for hearing our requests. That’s a cool riff!!! One of the many great Queen riffs. We enjoy what you share as we deal with the current “news of the world”. Peace. 🎩🎸🎸🎸
Brian , you are brilliant and you know that I hope . I remember a time over a Xmas many years ago when you did a sitting down round some sofas in England? No queen members there but a lot of you on guitar . It was late at night , it was excellent . I think a guitar album would be great , a great thing to hear from you ? If you need bass I’m here any time , I play jazz mostly . You were so on point with the lockdown and it being all there on the tv as in over the last two months China on the news ect . Taiwan I hear has few corona cases because they blocked it . That could have been done here in England . Anyway , thanks for the great guitar music over the last few days . Mike x
what an incredible man, he cares for his fans so deeply.
Dr. Brian May! We Love You! Please come to the PHILIPPINES! I WANNA SEE YOU AND JAM WITH YOU!
Every note u play i can hear Freddie !!! What a perfect fit that was n one day will be again!!!Rip Freddie...
Thanks Brian! Sending love right back to you and your family from Vacouver, BC, Canada You are making a huge difference for all us us that gave cabin fever!

Thanks Brian, this made my 15th day of quarantine way better! See you tomorrow with a tutorial on The Prophet Song? :D Just kidding, but I love so much that song! Stay safe! Cheers from Italy!
