This book offers a full exploration of every aspect of this extraordinary, hand-built musical instrument played by Brian May in Queen. It includes rare photographs of the Red Special, Brian and his father, Queen and from the set of the film Bohemian Rhapsody.
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.
