布莱恩·梅（Brian May）的六便士吉他挑选是他红色特别节目的秘密

自从皇后的首张专辑于1973年发行以来，关于布莱恩·梅的吉他音调的说法是正确的。

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.

本文瞥见了布莱恩·梅（Brian May）制作标志性吉他音调的独特而细致的方法。虽然经常讨论他的红色特价和首选放大器，但六便士吉他的挑选却鲜为人知，但同样重要。

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·盖尔（Gillian G. Gaar）在她的书《皇后和夜晚》中解释的那样，在《摇滚播客》采访中摘录了50年：50年，梅偏爱镍含量高的旧硬币，其锯齿状的优势是实现他所需的声音的重要元素。

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.

人们仍然向布莱恩·梅（Brian May）邮寄六便士以供吉他挑选的事实证明了皇后的持久遗产以及这些硬币在乐队音乐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）偏爱墨西哥比索硬币对吉他挑选的挑战是另一个有趣的轶事，它讲述了音乐家采取的多样化，有时甚至是非常规的方法来塑造他们的声音。

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，罗里·加拉格尔（Rory Gallagher）的AC30简单设置和高音助推器的设置提供了深入的了解，并洞悉了Taste's的本质，后来又是Gallagher的独奏乐队的独特声音，正如May本人所叙述的那样，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.

最后，吉他手和皇后歌迷都迫切希望，吉布森·梅（Brian May）的红色特别节目重新发行的吉布森（Gibson）制造的可能性。吉他的DIY起源以及周围的人对乐队在录音室演奏的音乐的反应也是追求音乐梦的相关时刻。
