RIFFS: Queen Fan Pays $11K for Brian May Lesson

Premier Guitar

Fan bids $11,000 to jam with idol Brian May


Blabbermouth.net tell us one Queen fan bid more than £7,500 (about $11,000) at a charity auction in London for a private lesson with idol Brian May. The two-hour, one-on-one jam session with May happened at his home following the auction Wednesday night. The auction was held in support of the Action for Brazil's Children Trust.

It was May's first ever private lesson, which certainly raises the value... How much would you pay for a lesson with your hero?
