Brian May Star Licks Guitar Video - with on screen guitar tab





http://1drv.ms/1IPv2S3 Star Licks Brian May booklet PDF download

The original video came with a guitar tab booklet. As a teenager I found the way the tab was written difficult to follow. So Ive written the tab out as standard and added it to the screen. With the exception of Love Of My Life which the booklet has in normal guitar tab.

Plus I didnt want to blank out Brian's right picking hand

 The video has explanation of Brian May's gear as well as how to play solo's Bohemian Rhapsody Somebody To Love Crazy Little Thing Called Love March Of The Black Queen and many more

How To Play Cum On Feel The Noize - Slade (guitar tutorial) - Rock Licks Guitar Tuition South Shields



How to play Cum On Feel the Noize by Slade on acoustic guitar

"Cum On Feel the Noize" is a rock song originally released by Slade in 1973.
Written by Jim Lea and Noddy Holder and produced by Chas Chandler, "Cum On Feel the Noize" was Slade's fourth number-one single in the UK and their first to enter straight at number one. As a single from Slade, it was a follow-up to "Gudbuy T' Jane", a #2-hit in the UK.
The title is also often spelled as "Come on Feel the Noise", due to common spelling or censorship reasons (due to the sexual meaning of the word cum).
The single's b-side "I'm Mee, I'm Now, and That's Orl" was voted #3 of the top three Slade b-sides in the Slade Fan Club Poll of 1979

Queen - We Will Rock You - Guitar Tutorial with guitar tab



How To Play Queen - We Will Rock You from the 1977 album News of the World

In this video we look at the Brian May guitar solo that comes in at the end of the song

Video features guitar tab and close up of the riff being played

"We Will Rock You" is a song written by Brian May and recorded and performed by Queen for their 1977 album News of the World.Rolling Stone ranked it number 330 of "The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time" in 2004,and the RIAA placed it at number 146 on its list of Songs of the Century. In 2009, "We Will Rock You" was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame.[4]

Other than the last 30 seconds containing a guitar solo by May, the song is generally set in a cappella form, using only stomping and clapping as a rhythmic beat. In 1977, "We Will Rock You" and "We Are the Champions" were issued together as a worldwide top ten single. Soon after the album was released, many radio stations began playing the songs back to back without interruption.

Queen - Was It All Worth It - Guitar Tutorial Lesson (with guitar tab)


How to play Queen - Was It All Worth It Guitar Tutorial Lesson

From the 1989 Queen Album The Miracle with classic Brian May guitar solos played on the Red Special Guitar

This takes a look at the whole song and includes guitar tablature

Freddie Mercury wrote this with lyrical ideas by the other 3 band members. The song is semi-autobiographical.
Freddie Mercury did the orchestral interludes note-by-note done on a Korg M1 keyboard. 
"Was It All Worth It" was composed by Mercury. The song harks back to the band's intricately produced sound in the 1970s. Though the bulk of the song was masterminded by Mercury, all members contributed ideas and lyrics (for example – Taylor contributed the line "we love you madly!"). Deacon later cited the song as his favourite on the album. Taylor uses a gong and timpani.

Queen - Somebody To Love - guitar cover (James Rundle South Shields Guitar Tutor)



Queen - Somebody To Love guitar played with Queen backing track

Played by James Rundle from Rock Licks Guitar Tuition of South Shields

For tutorial https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PqN3m...

Backing Track Link: http://www.guitarbackingtrack.com/pla...

The guitar solo from Somebody To Love is classic Brian May. He nails a definite melody for a very distinct solo.

"Somebody to Love" is a song by the British rock band Queen, written by the lead singer/pianist Freddie Mercury. It debuted on the band's 1976 album A Day at the Races and was also featured on their compilation album Greatest Hits.

The song offers listeners something similar to that of Queen's earlier hit "Bohemian Rhapsody" with its complex harmonies and guitar solos; however instead of mimicking an English choir, the band turned to a gospel choir. It reached #2 in the UK and #13 on the Billboard Hot 100 in the US. This song made it clear to fans that "Queen could swing as hard as it could rock, by channeling the spirit of gospel music."

Written by Mercury at the piano, "Somebody to Love" is a soul-searching piece that questions God's role in a life without love. Through voice layering techniques, Queen was able to create the soulful sound of a 100 voice choir, with that of only three voices: Mercury, Brian May and Roger Taylor. John Deacon did not sing on the album's track. Mercury's fascination and admiration for Aretha Franklin was a major influence for the creation of this song.

Queen played "Somebody to Love" live between 1977–85, and a live performance of the song is recorded on the album Queen Rock Montreal. In addition to these live performances, there has been collaboration on tributes to "Somebody to Love" after Mercury's death in 1991. The song was played live on 20 April 1992, during The Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert, with George Michael on lead vocals.

Since its release in 1976, the song has appeared in a number of television shows, such as American Idol, The X Factor, Glee and Gossip Girl, as well as movies, including Happy Feet and Ella Enchanted. Additionally, it has been covered by many artists.

How To Play Queen - Let Me In Your Heart Again - Guitar Solo - with guitar tab



How to play on guitar the solo from  Let Me In (Your Heart Again) found on the new Queen Forever album of 2014

In this tutorial we look at this classic sounding Brian May guitar solo.

I've added guitar tab to the screen to make learning easier.

In an August 2014 podcast with Eddie Trunk, May also confirmed that another out-take from The Works, "Let Me in Your Heart Again", recorded in Los Angeles in 1983, would also be included on the new album. The song was previously recorded and released by May's wife Anita Dobson on her album Talking of Love in 1988, featuring May on guitar. The Queen version is confirmed to include all four members of the band.
