Even rock stars are quarantining at home along with everybody else right now. The guitarist of the legendary band Queen, Brian May, has decided to use his time and talent to help out fans at home by teaching them to play Queen's classic tunes over social media.

The musician has posted a number of videos on his Instagram, walking fans through the notes of the songs one by one. He calls his videos "microconcerts" and has hashtagged them on his captions.

May has even posted a video of Queen's hit song "Bohemian Rhapsody," explaining to people watching that it is more of a feeling to play guitar than expert technique.

“I don’t do anything difficult. I’m not the greatest expert in guitar technique in the world. I just play as I feel it”,

In another intimate video, he shared a tune and technique that he used to learn how to play guitar. It was an old school Shadows song, a band that Brian said was "the hardest thing around" back in the day. He told fans that he would play a rhythm part on the tape recorder and then play the melody over it. Today, he uses his laptop.

The video ended with an optimistic note from Brian, saying "I hope things are good with you. In the face of tragedy and global disaster, our spirits will remain undimmed."
