1. Welcome: Hello, my name is Gabriel Felix. Today I want to introduce my new course about Brian Megan Queen. Yes, this special course is beauty for beginners and intermediate musicians. I'm going to teach you a few Queen songs and a few Brian guitar solos, all step by step with tablature showing all the tricks to sound and play like our favorite guitar hero. Besides that, I'm going to talk a little bit about scales, charts, and armory tricks used by Brian Me in Queen songs. If you are a big fan of this course, it's going to be amazing for you. It's gonna help a lot play in sound like a queen and bera tart. See lesson number one. Bye bye friends People Street, September. Knowing what this world is about. Watching super friends screaming, looking judge away from it on like a blind man sat on the fence. Don't work some. So pressure a change. Fresh, fresh. 2. Brian May's influences, musical style, equipment, and signature effects: Brian May has a unique style of make music with his guitars. He plays guitar in a special way. He makes people remember his style. He likes rock and roll, but enjoys classical busing, jazz as well. He builds his guitar with his dad and it's called the Rats special. It has a special sound that you can recognize. Why away? When you hear it, you can find similar cops on the Internet, especially by the brand Harley Band guitars. When Brian May plays the guitar, he can make the notes lasts a really long time. He does this by using a coin instead of regular B and a special booster for his guitar. This makes his guitar sound like singing. Brian may also know how to use many guitars together, make his song and sound big and exciting in the mix of the songs. He does this by playing different guitar parts, different parts of the tracks. This makes his music sound like an orchestra. Brian may use a bunch of effects. One of his favorites is the Trouble Booster helps to make the guitar sound really bright and powerful. He also uses late pedals and his favorite Wawa pedal, the Up Cry Baby. When it comes to amplifiers, he is a Vox, a famous guitar amp from the past. If you want to sound like Brian May, you can search for his signature effects, plugins, and instruments. You would discover miniimplifiers, boot pedals, wa, pedals, preamps, Umphds, and much more, disguise the limit when it comes to recreation is iconic. Sound If you want to choose one guitar that fits in most of the Queen's songs, you can choose this Stratocaster. His guitar is really common music and reversitible. You have this switch key that you can change all the pickups in different combinations. This type of thing makes this guitar first ball to rock, pop music, and two Queen songs. If you don't want to spend too much, have a nice equipment, try to use a stratocast guitar and stick with the plugins of Queen and Brian may. It's not too expensive and it's going to help you to sound like Brian and play all the Queen songs. 3. Queen - We are the champions : It's time to play Queen. We are the champion and this version is Ack, and electric guitar. Changed the arrangement a little bit and adapt to our instrument. It's going to sound very nice if you play on the Acouski and sing your if you play by yourself or even if you play with your bands. All right, but let's go first part of the song he plays on the piano flat measure with the bass in C. If we play this on the guitar, you're going to see that he's just playing a minor for minor seventh. We can play right here. Okay. It's going to be easier for us second quarter, you can call this a G power quarter because we don't have the third B right here. Okay? So you can play just like this. It's going to work perfectly on electric guitar, but especially on the Eco guitar, the rhythm is going to be like this. It's very soft pick. Okay. I'm going to play with this song, Check this out. Pm, bad mistakes. The next part you have a pages flat measure are pages. You play the base notes, so flat. And the page on the string number 23.4 Okay. Next part, the same thing, but do the base notes you play sharp finger, flat number nine. Okay? And the other nodes? 8.8 Okay. It's says for R. P. So very nice, isn't it? The second part is similar, but you can change this major chord to power chord. You play strings number 54.3 and play another shape like this. It little bit more difficult, but it's really nice. On the arrangement, you can play with a board finger number three, finger number four, okay? And pick strings number 1235, okay? If I play, everything is going to sound like this brings very nice, isn't it? Next part, start the distortion. The song structure grew up. Just play E flat major, okay? So you can play like this or with a Bakrdmminor measure, with a bar chord as well. Especially if you're play Cuski guitar. Okay? Uttr flat measure. Okay? This is the sequence of the song. It's going to sound like this. As you can see, I play B flat three times and go to my C chord, that's a bridge to my chorus. Okay, to measure chord. That is the first chord of the chorus. All right, so be careful spot. Okay, don't change the guitar shapes. Okay, remember this is a major guitar shape. This is a minor one. Okay. Right here on the string number six, the minor warn. You can play the sentar shape and he's going to sound as a measure warn. Let's go to the chorus. We have measure A minor minor string number six. It's a barcord. Okay? You put your finger number two with your finger number one. Very nice bar chord. But I have a very nice trick right here when you play sounds very nice if you play this note before A. Okay, I think is going to work in this arrangement, the same thing on the next art that is D minor. You can play not minor. Check this out. A minor. All right. Next is flat measure, measure, remember the shape. Next art is almost the same thing, A minor. But this time Sarf goes to D minor. Goes to measure and play this. It's a very nice part. You have measure just trie and you play this 53.2 string number six and play this Music Interval right here, F number 1.2 open string two. All right? And then my trick here is be careful because sometimes you play everything. Finger number one, it's going to be difficult to play. Music Interval play finger number two, it's going to be easier. All right, let's check out Sound with the song play together. The next part, we have flat number three, B flat minor, but just twice. Because you have this, it's a very nice arrangement. You play just twice and you have this five in the last part. F minor, A flat. Mejor flat, measures four. But right here on the string number six, usually you play here, right? But you can play right here as well and use the same guitar shape as a major or on the string number five. All right. The last is going to be okay, the last of the chorus, and he come back and play the entire song over again. We're going to play this part, let's see how it sounds. Next chart, you come back to the top of the song and you're going to repeat exactly the same thing. But when we have the chorus, we do not stop in F major chord. We come back and one more time after the second time, our last chord is going to be right and you finish the song. 4. Analyzing We are the champions: Let's analyze. We are the champion. This song is a little bit funny because we don't have a single key, Sometimes we are in one key, sometimes we are in another, Sometimes we don't use any kind of keys. It's a very nice and fun song. Channelyze first part, he start with my power without the turnout. That's why we can say that this first part using C minor, right, would be perfect if he plays like minor. So it's going to, would sound much more minor than just power chord, but we can say that it's in C minor. But the next part, he started with F measure chords. B flat measure chords, sometimes he changed a V. So it's really messy. This song, we cannot say that is just one key or in just two keys. At least to me, the songs has a lot of influence of jazz music. Fun, isn't it? Yes. Sound A lot of jazz. At least. The process of song writing looks that Brian May and Fred Maker sit down in a room and they did not choose a key. Fred start to sing, and Brian May found the notes of the melody on the guitar and tried to feed the chords. This type of thing is really, really coming. Jazz. I'm going to give a few examples. Stretch this out. Let's suppose we are, we have a melody in our melody is, you can say that melody or son is in a minor key using it because we have one minor seventh and wrote one Walmart time. The chords we could say that is a Mm, seven major minor and come back to a men just following the notes, right, would sound very nice. As you can see, I just keep my notes on the string number two, so A, C, L, just follow the melody, but we can change as well. Instead of thinking just A, we can stick with our melody, but try to find chords that we can fit those notes. I could start with F measure chord, because the measure of F is A. So we're going to work perfectly. Second core, I could produce measure, but if you think me, there is no C and G measure, right? But we have assess four. We have the nodes. We can stick with minor that have the S minor argon come back, Check this out. Sounds really rich, isn't it? Sounds completely different if we compare with the first example in this case, we cannot say that we are in or exactly not every single time in, because F is going to work as the First Court, But right here, the second court, if you are in F measure should be minor and major with this note right here. So it's not going to work. Let's take another example. So let's start in F. But this note, we need to think what type of court that we have in C is part of this court. So we could take a half diminished in right here. It's going to sound really outside. Check this out. The last play measure in seven, both chords have fifth, so it's going to work perfectly. As you can see, this new arrangement sound really different, isn't it? But we can take another example. Let's put a fully diminished chord here. A second is the first one. Full diminish. One more time. Full diminish. As you can see, it's not necessary. Follow a key or a key pattern every single time. Sometimes if you have the melody, you can just think about the melodyum. Try to find a course that fits perfectly. And you're going to have several types of arrangement and different possibilities of sound. Brian may use this type of thing as an example exercise of you can create a melody. Try to stick with just three or four nodes per melody. Follow my example, just use 137.1 of any kind of ski. You write down in a piece of paper those notes of your melody. Keep it simple and try to find the chords that you can fit. All these notes can be extension, can be a third, a perfect fifth wrote notes, okay? Any kind of chord that you can find those notes. That's a great exercise to memorize notes on the fret board. Study harmony to memorize chords and scale. Of course, embellish your songs and create music like 5. Queen - Under pressure : Russia, Sit down, hold on me. Sit down on Russia. Families, people on the streets. That's okay. That's the terror. Bold friends, people, Peter, knowing what this bird is about. Watching silver friend screaming, looking Judge away from it on like a blind man sat on the fence. But don't work some slash press check. And no pressure. No pressure. The first part of our song start with the bass, but you can play the same thing on the guitar as well. So take your, or check this out. You can play this first part on your instrument, frag number five, using palm mooting. So with this part of your hand on the strings, okay? And you're going to play frag number five on the string five and frag number five on the string number six. Okay, Remember to kill the notes very fast. All right, after this part, you start with the picking part that we have several in our song patent. I will divide each picking part into four parts. Okay, let's take a look at the first we're going to play like this, all right? The most important thing here is memorize the strings that you are going to play. All right? So you can put, it's a kind of course shape, isn't it? Put your course shape right here on your left hand and play strings number 433 to four, Okay? Remember that the string number four is always open, okay? So these strings, you're going to play this pattern, repeat the same pattern. It's not the same, a little bit different, but it's almost the same. Check this out. Second fragment. The second part of your picking part. You put your fingers like this, 5.6 with a bar, okay, on the finger number one. And you're going to play strings, number 32124. Okay? It's important to memorize this pattern, this new pattern, because to repeat the same thing right here on the struber strings, okay? But in the frat number three, the last parts a little bit different. So part number four of our first finger part. And need to play like a measure with fingers number 1.2 String number one. This last part you're going to play this framber topar number this first session, try to memorize each part separated, Okay? And it's going to help a lot to memorize the entire song. Let's go to the second part. You're going to repeat this three times'm number four. It's a little bit different. Check this out. Let's, you're going to play strings. It's the same guitar shape. Okay? And you play the strings. Number 432123. Okay. Next part is the same or shape as well, but this time you play strings number 1232123. All right. Same thing right here, the frat number 31232123. Memorize your right here. This is the most important thing and the last part is the same as the previous one. List. This is the easiest one right after this session of the song. Okay? You have the pre cards in the cards, People Street. You just need to play. You can play like this. You can play down your finger, number one as well. You can play down your pink finger. It's up to you. Okay? This part is really open to improvisation. And you can embellish your chord a little bit. Play the chord. And playing and not inside a chord, so it's going to sound very nice. Second part is a with the basin in, same thing you can balance as one. All right. You're going to play this part. Two Eyes and you have this new in, this is a very famous guitar shaped Red House peppers used a lot in Simple one and you have a new part. This part is important to cop exactly like a play, so you have D with the base F sharp. After you play the corn, you each flavor fast number three, open stream, come back Frap number two in number play. All right, so. All right, this is the last part. The last part of the cards. Okay, you played the entire first session. The second session, you're going to repeat exactly the same thing, but we have a little variation in the end of our session, number one part number four number, come back and play exactly the same thing. In this we have a variation, so you play number one open on string number three, play that ending part. Okay, so this three first look little bit different. Be careful, check the tablature tract, memorize detail. After this pour, you repeat exactly the same thing, the embellishing part D with the sing F sharp that we have learned exactly the same thing and we kind of finish the song. But you have a new part, of course, slash In the sport, we don't have guitar, okay, just the other instruments. But you can play with the nine if you prefer, okay? But you have this guitar lick that, it's very nice. It's hammer, pull off. They are fast with rocking, open, open, Remember strings number 3.4 you after the sport can play a few variations of this F. T. With the base in C. Okay? Sounds very nice as well. We can play core with the base in F. It's like this is really strange, isn't it? But it's for this Openmpervision as well. Okay, The next chart you're going to play cords different A minor chord, but instead of the bases here, play open string. Okay? It's a very nice chords. We, and we have this and we go to the chorus. Okay? The part that everybody in July is the part, it's my favorite part of the song. So as you can see, we have and come back and repeat this three times, okay? So remember about this in the last part, we have a far, the new session are under pressure, so we have, this is the first session you're going to play your court shape like this, number 13 in two, okay? And you play this 423. Okay? Remember about my right hand to memorize this? Very important. Okay. Next part looks difficult because you have a new guitar shape, but it's not. You're going to play strings number three to repeat the same pattern, but this time frat number two, right? So in the last part is a new pattern. String is a kind of a, isn't it? But you play strings number five to one. Yeah. You play our ending open string, string number three. All right. Be careful of this part as well because all the peaking sessions are very tricky. Be careful. And you're going to play this street time as well and play put bass note of chord, it's case. All right? And you're going to play with the Basing G as well put. All right, so you're going to repeat this a few times and finally finish the song with the basin short. And you finish this amazing song. I hope you enjoy. Bye bye. 6. Analyzing Under pressure: Let's analyze under pressure. This song is amazing. In the real lesson about Armory in Fury, let's take a exam. The first part of the song, he plays this major chord. A major chord. G major chord. A major. It's right after the first part, the bass riff. But instead of playing just the chords like we playing acoustic guitar or if you are beginning to user chords like this, he plays with Arpagio. Arpagio is the same thing is charts, but instead of play harmony everything together, he plays note by note. In this sound amazing. It's beautiful, isn't it? Sounds much better. In this type of technique, it's really common in music, especially in rock, pop, metal. Find any kind of music. When we talk about Arpagio, the first thing, the most of the students think it's about that Shred Po in Hea metal. That's very fast but it's not necessary to play like this every single time. Most of the case is going to work. If you use this pago as arrangement technique in Bach, lock your musk, lock your son with this. Brian may can incorporate a few notes that usually is not common when it's from the courts. For example, in this type of style, rock and roll musk is not common to strom accord with a 13th note or a nine. Not not so common with our Pico works really good and of course you can create melodies with this. It's going to bells a lot. Your core progression, your music. You need to remember that Quinn was just what? Drums. One guitar, at least live live was just one guitar, piano, voice, and bass. You need to armage your song, your music to some good, very good live with just five instruments. If you were a recording studio K, you can record 102035 guitars all and creates a very nice and big and rich arrangement. But life is completely different or you can use overdue or a playback, I don't know, but I think Quinn was 100% life from this. Let's take a look in this pas stead of this core Start right here, This page. This open string KS root and play the measure that's sharp right here in my middle finger. That's route as well in the perfect fifth right here. To create this right hand pattern. That's really good. Second part, Star coach, he played just a part of this chord but with the patient right here. Star string number two. Perfect fifth of a mess right here, tight here. Everything works perfectly. Same thing here in the star shaped the node as by the harmony is in D measure. He keep adding the node as base in all the pages. This reinforce the sound of sure key. Very nice. Okay, we have the bass player playing D, but he still play another sound, more rich. Finally, he plays right here, but just part of the, he adds a little bit of extension notes, right? He used this note right here. If we play no cord, we're going to have a S for. That's why his arrangement is so rich. Music so nice. It's one of the most beautiful songs in music, isn't it? Most of the bands use this technique. I can give an example. The pepper with Californication. This part right here in the middle of Californication, it's our page. We have F major copper. Use this type of thing. Take any kind of Corp progression and try to create your own pattern using P. Of course, if you're not a beginner, you can add a little bit of extra nodes such as nine and thirt. 7. Queen - Crazy little thing called love - guitar solo: Now it's time to learn a quin, A crazy thing I love, I'm going to show you how to play all the solos step by step. So you begin in fret number nine, string number 1.2 Please lie until fret number ten, okay? So you need to pick strings number 1.2 Next part you have a band. So it's a band on the string number two in the fret number 13. 1,231,113.11 Okay? So the next part you need to play the band once again. However, you need to put your pink on the string number one in the fret number 13. Okay, I'm going to play everything. Check this out. After this part, you come back to the beginning and play this line once again. However, you end this guitar F with 12.10 on a string number three. So after this part, you have a new guitar leak. So it's 1011 on a string number 31012 on a string number two, and you're going to play ten on a string number 1.22 times. So let's take a close look to the entire guitar solo. So here go. Let's try this together once and again. So you have a one whole step band on the string number two in the fret number 13. You're going to play three times 11, 13, 11, Okay. Once again. All right, And play the band once and again. And play with your pinky fret number 13 on the string number one. My advice on this part is play the band with your finger number 13 on the string number one, with your pinky. Okay? Finger number two is going to help your finger number three. All right? And the last guitar riff is like this. We're going to play 11.12 strings, number 1.2, okay? Go play everything together after this part. You play 15 on a string number two and come back to the 12. Okay? Next note and a half step band on a string number two, F number 13. You can play with your finger number two. Okay? Next part is 14.11 on the string number 3.14. On the string number four. So okay, once and again, and the last guitar lick is, so in that case, I play everything on the string number two. So it's 10, 101-210-1210, Okay. Once and again, 1010 to 12101210. This is not a easy solo, but I'm here to help. So let's play everything over again. You can change the video speed to practice with me even better once and again. So I hope you enjoy this class and let me know if you have any kind of doubts. 8. Analyzing Crazy little thing called love: Some of ice, crazy little Think I love this song is funny because we have a lot of influence of blues. Music. Yes. Especially this first part right here. This, a lot of blues in the second part is blues as well. Here's a trick that Chuck Berry using John Good. John Good, Something like this. The second part we have, it's a very nice song. You can't remember the entire guitar lick. But the idea here is to recognize that Brian make up a little bit of this blues effect is blues technique and sound. It's not a problem at all, but it's amazing. Incorporates a blues and a blues guitar song on rock and roll music The trick. Take your first shape and find the minor third right here. In this case, we are in D and your perfect fifth right here, A minor third. You need to play the minor third and measure measure turns right after your minor sharp right here to the perfect fifth. You need to play one before your perfect fifth. Flat five is right here, okay? The idea is to play your regular guitar lick. But with this little trick play one note before and one note after when I play a K using my perfect fifth, I need to play one note before my perfect fifth. When I play a league with my after my nitor, I need to play a Morter. Al right. Sounds really good. Sounds really bluesy. I got to improvise a little bit. Check this out. As you can see, I improvise classic blues with 12, but now let's improvise a rock and roll style, check this rock ballad, besides that Brian me playing this kind of notes in the so this is a measure six, use this kind of trick. Incorporate other nodes inside our guitar. Sounds really nice for you. My advice is guitar shake. You can take the first pattern of pentatonic minor shape and click basic flick you want. Let's stick with a minor and create. This is very easy. I use just what, four notes. Yes. G, E, D, four notes in this spot right here. Instead of playing just you can play this flat E. This is the perfect fifth more time. Let's see. Sounds very nice. This little detail makes everything difference. But let's take our turn. Our minor third in this case is going to be C. You can create all leg with this turn. Very simple. Go as well, so using a minor paton when we play, we can play this in. Check this out. Let's see. Sounds very nice. And of course you canpvise and create all the leaks you want using this technique, just thinking about a minor pentatonic first pattern. So now it's time to Pxy incorporate these techniques used by Brian. 9. Queen - Bicycle race - guitar solo: Solo, start with a technique called trill. It's kind of hand and very fast. Okay? So you need to play number two, string number three. Number one, F number three. Okay? Same string, you just pick one, play several times just to have this effect of trill. Okay? It's a very nice effect, it's a very nice exercise as well, just because you just pick once, okay? We need to do this kind of effect. Pick just once. So pick once you have the trill. All right? So you're going to play the t number 1.2 frat number 2.3 frat number 10.11 this time on the string number two, okay? 11.12 on the string number 1.17, and 18 on string number one, okay? So it's going to sound like this. All right? This is the first part. The second part, you're going to play this pattern right here. This pattern is very, very important. Okay? So please play with the same finger. Ring finger, index, middle finger, pink finger on the string number one is the same pattern. Okay? Important fingers just because of the speed, okay? Always very fast. You need to Px of alternate picking. It's important to start this very slowly. So after you memorize this, you can play the same thing in the same guitar shape, the frat number two. Okay, so you're gonna play good frat number two, come back. Same frat number two more time, this time you come back, but it's not necessary to play everything. You're just going to play frat number 778. Stop and play right here in the frat number 15, this new pattern, finger number three. Fret 15 on string number 11214. **** my pattern. **** my fingers just because the next you're going to play the same thing you're going to play one more time. I told you before, play this new pattern. Next you're going to play the same patch. Play right here. Number seven. You're going to copy and play in the Frac number four the same. Instead of playing the same right here, you can copy the same pattern, the same fingers, and play in frac number 12. So it's a very repetitive solo, isn't it? Let's recap everything. You start right here. Framber two, come back and play the same twice. A to repeat twice. Play just one time but stop the Frag number eight. Play this new pattern with Frac number 15. Instead of coming back to Frat number seven, number two, instead of pattern number 15, pat F number 12. All right? Pitatione is not easy solo. Okay. If necessary, come back a few minutes or seconds and watch the lesson or the specific report over again. All right. The next part is the last part of the song. Sorry. You play 67 on the screen, number 589.89 number 4.3 11 string after this part, my advice, play with a finger number one and choose going to be easier. You're going to play 24646 and you have 46.7 on stream number five. Okay? You're going to repeat this part twice. This is the entire solo of Bicycle It by Quena. Very nice solo, isn't 10. Analyzing Bicycle race: Let's analyze bicycle race, guitar solo. I can see a lot of influence of Jen Hendrix. I don't know if Hendrix was a big influence to Brian May, but you can find a lot of Hendrix in this song. The first part is the trio, right? So in the beginning of the song, he played this kind of trio. And this technique is magnefect. So you just need to play one single note and play hammer pu, fair, fast, like this and click, keep playing the hammer puff. Very, very fast. And impact. This amazing impact. And Jimmy Hendrix used to play this a lot, so in this case he used to play with a Wawa pedal, an open string like this. You can find a food child. It's going to be easier if you put a little bit of distortion or over drive. You need a little bit of game to play this correctly, right? This is the first thing that we need to analyze in his song. The second thing is it's the same guitar shapes in several positions. This is very common rock and roll music. Hendrick play a lot this technique, but you can find a Smith, you can find Jens Addiction. I saw a video a long, long time ago about David Navarro, explain this technique in his music. Everybody used this type of technique and consistent in you can use the same guitar shape in other positions, you can find bicycle race He right here in the Frat number seven and right here in the Frat number two. And the other part he uses right here in Frat number 15, but with a different type of shape. The idea consists in, you take a group of notes, guitar shape. You can take a guitar any kind of thing you want, Okay? You repeat, you can repeat in two octaves, in three octaves, or you can just repeat the same pattern in a different key. Okay, that's why sounds so good in coins. Music You're going to play a little bit, just to give you a few examples about this technique, let's take a example. A pentatonic minor scale. Let's say we are in a minor pentatonic scale. Take the first pattern and you can create a guitar lick right here. And repeat the same thing, the same pattern in this position right here, in another Oct number 50. The idea is when we play a guitar solo, or we're composing song, we can play a K here. In a K right here, we have the same link, but in two different octaves to the audience. That is, listen, this guitar lick will sound completely different, will sound completely new. But you can take this approach and play the same garlick in other keys as well. If you are improvising a minor, you can play guitar lick or it's going to work if you play minor as well, because minor is perfect fifth of a. It's going to sound a little bit different because we have different notes that go to make, go to have a different meaning in this A minor key, but works good. Let's take a example. This guitar riff right here is four notes. If I play this minor, I'm going to have a band in two B wrote notes to our second of our minor scale. I play this right here. If I play this but with the harmony in, I'm going to have minus seven in fifth. That it's going to work perfectly as well. I'm going to provide a little bit just to give you a few examples, but please, this technique Briar teaches a lot, Hendrix teaches a lot, Rock and roll teaches a lot of music. Take this technique that our biggest guitar hero usually play, right, and try to incorporate in your music. 11. Thank you: The last lesson of our course.
