Brian May es un instagramer en toda regla. El guitarrista de Queen está muy enganchado a Instagram, red social que utiliza en todo momento para contar sus pensamientos, su estado de ánimo, lo que le ocurre, dar su visión acerca de lo que va ocurriendo en la sociedad… En uno de los últimos vídeos que ha publicado, el músico ha ofrecido una lección en la que enseña a hacer la parte del solo del clásico de la banda “Bohemian Rhapsody”.

El clip comienza con May instando a la gente a quedarse en casa, asegurando que, pese a que el aislamiento puede resultar muy difícil, no es ni comparable con una guerra, por ejemplo, como la que vivió su abuelo. Una vez dicha esta introducción, Brian comienza a demostrar su manera de tocar. “No hago nada difícil. No soy el mayor experto en técnica de guitarra del mundo, simplemente toco tal y como lo siento”, afirma el británico.

This spontaneously turned into a ‘Star Licks’ type tutorial ... as an experiment, really. I don’t think I’ll Ever try to do it this way again, though - because it was ridiculously time-consuming trying to put it all up on IG ‘Stories’. Here’s a very rough potted version for posterity. Tell me how useful (or not!) it was. OK ? Bri

Además, el legendario rockero, que ya ofreció anteriormente su opinión acerca del coronavirus, está aprovechando el confinamiento para entretener a todos sus seguidores, no solo con lecciones, sino también con microconciertos. Para ello se está sirviendo de una de las herramientas de Instagram, IGTV, con la que se pueden subir a la red social vídeos de una duración más extensa de la que te permiten las publicaciones normales del feed. Así, el músico se ha dedicado a subir una gran cantidad de vídeos tocando la guitarra.

In my living room at home - where else ?! I seem to have most all my usual channels to entertain you ... so maybe here on IG is the place to perform micro concerts across the ether. Is that a good plan ? This is my contribution to the Common Good tonight. A raw cheer-up outburst. Living Room Rock ! IG-ROCK ! Is this the future ? To all you folks out there feeling as disorientated as I do - let’s isolate together !!! And keep rockin’ together !! OK ? With love. Yours truly - your friendly neighbourhood chap who clearly imagines he’s in Hawaii !!! Apologies for the annoying opening ‘So’ - yes, I know. But my this was a big ‘SO !’ - so maybe I can be forgiven. It will be the last one - I promise. Thanks to LYNN from Hawaii for the colourful attire. Bri

This is a nice Fender Stratocaster, by the way - equipped with a sustainer - which I’m using here at about half power. The amp is a tiny Vox Mini5 Rhythm. It has lots of nice effects on it - like the delays I’m using here. And you can turn the master volume down far enough to avoid annoying the neighbours. Or up, if you want to avoid that avoidance ! So IF I MAKE A HABIT OF DOING THIS while the CoronaVirus is confining us to our homes ... any requests ? Cheers all - Bri

Well, have to admit I wasn’t in the mood for analysis tonight. Just wanted to connect. And I have to acknowledge I was helped in this broadcast by a couple of Grey Goose and Tonics - courtesy of my lady wife. Of course I did get lucky in securing the services of the Best Barmaid In the World !! Maybe I will persuade her to photo-bomb me in a future MicroConcierto ! Happy Saturday folks ... IS it Saturday ?!! Who knows ? All the days are starting to feel the same now. It’s a bit like being ON TOUR !!! 😂😂😂 Take care out there. And I MEAN TAKE CARE. Remember the statistics - every physical interaction you DON’T have improves your chances of survival to see us play some day !!! Oops - did I say that ?!! ISOLATE YOURSELVES - NOW ! make it hard for the bastard coronavirus to find you !!! And even harder for it to get to your family. #dontstopusnow #microconcert Bri .

I was talking at the beginning, but I think you can have too much talking !! Hope you’re OK out there and working on the acceptance and courage thing - the Serenity Prayer (previous post) which I find to be so powerful. Some of you asked for this tune - Last Horizon - and this time - for the first time - up very close and with no backing ... hope it tickles your fancy. OK !! Ready for another week’s bad news ?!! 😝 let’s just accept for now. I still feel anger at the timid and slow way the pandemic has been handled - but anger gets me nowhere. We just have to smile and live another day to the full. We can’t be just postponing living till the CoronaVirus has gone. Postponing the OLD way of living - YES !! Love to you all. 💥💥💥💥 Just want to say thank you all for your amazing response to my micro-concerting activities. I never expected such a great connection. It’s inspiring to me. Your comments are shaping me - making me understand better what I have to offer. And it makes me feel useful !!! 😌 Bri
