That's the nice thing about Brian May, the dude's not full of himself, he knows that he doesn't have to prove himself.
His band's one of the biggest to ever exist. He's wildly intelligent and one of the most beloved names in rock history, good for him!

I have nothing but respect for Sir Brian, anytime he speaks he makes me want to listen to what he has to say.

[YosemiteOnMyMind]

The fact that Brian May earned a PhD in astrophysics after becoming a rock star proves that he has a lot of humility about the importance of his legacy as a guitarist.

[DJBFAD]

Respect to Brian, so softly spoken & unbelievably humble...

[krissifelicetti]

[jimmipadge]

If the list is “ Worlds Best Astrophysics PhD Guitarist” then Sir Dr. Brian Harold May PhD CBE *_DEFINITELY_* takes the top spot!

[liquidSpin]

This is EXACTLY why I love Brian May so much. Great guitarist and a great human being!

[mavez]

Brian May is an absolute class act, super humble.

[locodiablo]

Amazing humble response... One thing I admire about Brian is he has ZERO ego... BTW, Nuno is an underrated amazing guitarist!

[neilburns]

Sir Brian Harold May is just demonstrating how humble he is and how much he respects his fellow guitarists around the world.

It's just a measure of the sort of gentleman he is.

[DodoTheDudu]

Agree with what Brian said, there's no competition. We look at bigger picture, how a guitarist create arts by the way they play, the way they play by heart for their works. Kurt Cobain is the good example just as Brian said, not a very technical guitarist but what a massive impact his playing is for the music in general.

[asicdathens]

And don't forget that Dr May did a lot of advancements in electric guitars. His tremolo mechanism and the pickup toggle switches were light years ahead from the guitars of his time

[marittamustonen-smith]

Brian May is deffo one of my favourites and he can have that title with my blessing. I love that special sound Queen has

[guyvelvet]

Wow !! So much dignity, humility and grace !! We should all aspire to be as great as him

[luisvegano]

And THAT, is why we love him and we feel and think he is the best of all time. I'm so proud to be his fan.

[georgeconstanza]

Finally some recognition for Nuno Bettencourt

[JUICECAT]

Brian is so nice to listen to, very soothing voice and he is very humble and clever. Gotta love him

[josephchiazzese]

brian may has explained this as eloquently as possible. god bless him.

[peakproofuk]

I can appreciate the technical players with my mind but I love Brian’s playing with my heart. And his sound is so distinctive! What’s really incredible with Queen solos is melody. How many other solos could one hum recognisably? Amazing melodies.

I have loved Dr. Brian for decades. He is a beautiful guitarist and even more beautiful human.
