    Re: the rock riff in Bohemian Rhapsody (@5:15), I've heard Brian May say that this was Freddie's riff; i.e., that Freddie wrote it on the piano.

    So glad to see you doing these videos. I'm a huge Brian may fan so of course I watched this one first but I am going to watch the others with an open mind. I see you got the usual people who want things to be historically correct, but this is no documentary. Thanks for pointing out what you see with your own ears.

    I like your comment on the "humorous" and child like quality of some of Brian May's melodies. I hear the same child like quality in some of the songs by Sia and Thelonious Monk. It is the opposite of pretentious and bombastic and can be charming.

    I think there's a lot of additional lessons to be learnt from listening to a studio recording with all its intricacies and then listening to the same song live and how he chooses to deliver it.
    I remember first time I heard Live Killers. That album is just end-to-end gold.

    Thanks for helping us out to train our 'ear for music'! It certainly helps to think of the right note to play. It actually helps me to enjoy all kinds of music more.
    On the topic of playing 'the right note': I always found that Gary Moore was an absolute champion on that (The Messiah wil come again, or Empty Rooms live in Stockholm)

      @@pierresaucourt5894 Oh wow, this is that knock-off company that makes these in China & sell them cheap all over the EU, huh? I'm a little surprised tbh; I knew they were decent, but I didn't expect them to be taken seriously by serious players. I'm not crazy about May's tone, so I can't comment much beyond that, but they nailed his tone fairly well; I'm sure the effects help, but I'm still thoroughly impressed. Too bad I can't bring myself to support that market :( Thanks for digging it up!

    You got this all wrong. Brian is a great guitarist and song writer, but you are giving him too much credit in this video. Every song that you talk about, where Brian is playing riffs you wouldn't expect a guitarist to create, is because they weren't created by him. All these songs were written by Freddie, on the piano, and Brian was just recreating, on the guitar, what Freddie played on the piano. "BoRap", "Don't Stop Me Now" and "Killer Queen" all have the same thing in common. All were written by Freddie, and all of them used a piano in them. Freddie was a great pianist, and wrote that way. Brian thought and wrote like a guitarist, Roger like a drummer, and John like a bassist. Queen was so great and unique because all their differences, which made all of them think outside the box on many things. None of them would have been as good alone as they were as a group. Freddie, Brian and Roger all proved this when they each did solo work.
