Regarded by many as a bona fide guitar god, Brian May is set to finally pass on some of his secrets by giving his first ever private guitar lesson.
The one-off prize is being offered at a special charity auction in aid of The ABC Trust, a charity dedicated to helping vulnerable young people and street children of Brazil as part of A Forca De Rua (Force Of The Street).
The auction winner will receive a two hour one-on-one guitar lesson with the founding member of Queen. In conjunction with the auction event, a host of graffiti artists are creating customised Gibson guitars which will be exhibited publicly in London before also being auctioned to raise funds.
Artists already signed up to create for the event include D*Face, Inkie, Titi Freak, Kid Acne, Remi/Rough, Will Barras, Pure Evil, Ramon Martins, Daniel Melim, Tinho, Speto and Calma.
Brazilian export and CSS' lead singer Lovefoxx will also be present on auction day to create a specially customised guitar to be auctioned.
The auction takes place on Wednesday April 29 at The Cuckoo Club, London. The customised guitars and other artwork will be on public display from Thursday April 23 - Monday May 11 at theprintspace gallery, Kingsland Road, London.
