Queen - Lily Of The Valley - Guitar Cover with guitar tab



This is more a guitar cover with guitar tab than an actual tutorial or lesson



From the 1974 Sheer Heart Attack album I've arranged this ballad for acoustic guitar



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



"Lily of the Valley" is a song by British rock band Queen, which was originally released on their third studio album Sheer Heart Attack in 1974. "Lily of the Valley" features Mercury playing the piano and providing all of the vocals. The song has a reference to "Seven Seas of Rhye" in the line "messenger from Seven Seas has flown to tell the King of Rhye he's lost his throne". "Lily of the Valley" was released as a single the following year in 1975, but failed to chart anywhere. the B-side of the single was "Keep Yourself Alive". The song is one of the album's few slow ballads.

Queen - I Want To Break Free Live Wembley 86 - Guitar Tutorial Lesson





How to play the Live At Wembley 86 version of I Want To Break Free guitar lesson tutorial



The live version differs from the 1984 track found on The Works album



This video contain guitar tablature to make learning the John Deacon written track

The studio version famously has a synth solo which is played by Brian May on guitar in the live version



"I Want to Break Free" (About this sound sample (help·info)) is a song by British rock band Queen, from their eleventh studio album The Works (1984). Written by bassist John Deacon, it was distributed as a single on 7-inch and 12-inch vinyl records and 3-inch and 5-inch CDs. The song had three versions: album, single and extended, differing in length by more than a factor of 2. It came to be included in most live concerts by the group, in several videos, and in The Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert where it was sung by Lisa Stansfield.



The song is largely known for its music video for which all the band members dressed in women's clothes, a concept proposed by Roger Taylor, which parodied the long-running British soap opera Coronation Street. The second part of the video included a composition rehearsed and performed with the Royal Ballet and choreographed by Wayne Eagling. Whereas the parody was acclaimed in the UK, it was considered controversial in the US and banned by MTV[1] and other stations. After its release in 1984 the single of the song was well received all over Europe and South America, where it was listed within top ten and regarded as an anthem of fight against oppression. The single reached only the 45th position in the US charts, but reached number 3 in the UK and was certified silver with 200,000+ copies sold

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.
