布萊恩·梅（Brian May）的六便士吉他挑選是他紅色特別節目的秘密

自從皇后的首張專輯於1973年發行以來，關於布萊恩·梅的吉他音調的說法是正確的。

This article provides a glimpse into the unique and meticulous approach of Brian May in crafting his iconic guitar tone. While his Red Special and preferred amplifiers are often discussed, the inclusion of sixpence guitar picks is less known but equally significant.

本文瞥見了布萊恩·梅（Brian May）製作標誌性吉他音調的獨特而細緻的方法。雖然經常討論他的紅色特價和首選放大器，但六便士吉他的挑選卻鮮為人知，但同樣重要。

As Gillian G. Gaar explains in her book, Queen & A Night at the Opera: 50 Years, which is excerpted in the Booked on Rock Podcast interview, May's preference for an older coin with a high nickel content and its serrated edge are crucial elements in achieving his desired sound.

正如吉利安·G·蓋爾（Gillian G. Gaar）在她的書《皇后和夜晚》中解釋的那樣，在《搖滾播客》採訪中摘錄了50年：50年，梅偏愛鎳含量高的舊硬幣，其鋸齒狀的優勢是實現他所需的聲音的重要元素。

The fact that people still mail sixpences to Brian May to use for guitar picks is a testament to the enduring legacy of Queen and the small but significant role that these coins have played in the band's music.

人們仍然向布萊恩·梅（Brian May）郵寄六便士以供吉他挑選的事實證明了皇后的持久遺產以及這些硬幣在樂隊音樂中扮演的小而重要的角色。

Billy Gibbons' preference for Mexican peso coins for guitar picks is another interesting anecdote that speaks to the diverse and sometimes unconventional approaches that musicians take to shape their sound.

比利·吉本斯（Billy Gibbons）偏愛墨西哥比索硬幣對吉他挑選的挑戰是另一個有趣的軼事，它講述了音樂家採取的多樣化，有時甚至是非常規的方法來塑造他們的聲音。

It's also noteworthy that Rory Gallagher's simple setup of an AC30 and a treble booster is mentioned, providing an insight into the essence of Taste's and later Gallagher's solo band's distinctive sound, as narrated by May himself, who saw Taste perform at the Marquee in 1968.

值得注意的是，羅里·加拉格爾（Rory Gallagher）的AC30簡單設置和高音助推器的設置提供了深入的了解，並洞悉了Taste's的本質，後來又是Gallagher的獨奏樂隊的獨特聲音，正如May本人所敘述的那樣，他在1968年在Marquee看到了Taste表演。

Finally, the possibility of a Gibson-made reissue of Brian May's Red Special is teased, which would undoubtedly be eagerly anticipated by guitarists and Queen fans alike. The guitar's DIY origins and the reactions of those around him to the band's music being played back in the studio are also relatable moments in the pursuit of a musical dream.

最後，吉他手和皇后歌迷都迫切希望，吉布森·梅（Brian May）的紅色特別節目重新發行的吉布森（Gibson）製造的可能性。吉他的DIY起源以及周圍的人對樂隊在錄音室演奏的音樂的反應也是追求音樂夢的相關時刻。
