Filho de Harold e Ruth May, Brian nasceu na capital inglesa de Londres em 19 de julho de 1947. Em 1954 seu pai começou a ensiná-lo a tocar guitarra havaiana (ukelele) e, com o tempo, começou a ter aulas de piano. Por essa altura, recebeu uma guitarra acústica, que foi alterada para a deixar mais ágil. Na escola, começou a demonstrar interesse por física e astronomia.
Quando tinha 16 anos, o seu pai, técnico em eletrônica, propôs que construíssem uma guitarra elétrica juntos, uma vez que não tinha dinheiro para lhe dar uma nova.
Quatro anos de trabalho duro!Neste mês de maio fizemos quatro anos no ar. Continuamos trabalhando na divulgação deste maravilhoso instrumento, obrigado por participar da nossa história!

This was done mostly by watching Brian play in Hollywood, as well as excessive listening to the album versions (both), the version on the "Too Much Love Will Kill You" single, and a live version from an upcoming release.
I'm working on the solo, if anyone wants it, lemme know.
