In a recent interview with SiriusXM, Brian May was asked about his reaction to being named as Guitar World's Greatest Guitarist of all time, and his response is heartwarming.
Brian said “I take everything like that with a pinch of salt really because you can't say who's the best. The nice thing about guitar playing is everybody’s different. You can’t really rank people. you know, of course I got my favorites too, thats going to be the next question but the fact that people put me in that position makes me smile — it’s a lovely feeling.”
And when he was asked about who he considered to be the greatest guitar player of all time. He said “I'm not in the first million guitarists in the world. I know that. There is not a chance. There's people I listen to every day who do things that I could never do... I just smile, because it's so beautiful and it's so way out of what I could ever do, it doesn't bother me, because I don't feel in competition.”
He also said "I would like to say I am not the world's greatest singer not the world's greatest guitarist either, but Thank You for saying so but I can speak with the guitar. I can make it sing and that's all I do. It comes from inside"
His Reaction is winning hearts all over the internet. Here's what some fans wrote.
