Considering an instrumental for this song is available, it should be very close to completely accurate. Hopefully you enjoy! (:
Thank you so much for making this tutorial you’re the best :)
So much of this song on piano sounds just like other Queen songs. I heard Bohemian Rhapsody, We Are The Champions, Killer Queen, and a little bit of Love Of My Life. Freddie Mercury usually uses a lot of the same chords in his songs.
the chorus sounds remarkably similar to another Queen song "Play The Game"
I'm sorry but I only hear Bohemian rhapsody, not all the other songs you listed, and I listen to Queen almost exclusively
I disagree with you, can you go and see my reasoning in the comments of the video?
😂😂😂 only other Queen song I could ever detect in this is Bo-Rhap
It's because they purposely interpolate numerous works of theirs into this song
Sounds like Bohemian Rhapsody 😱
Awesome!!! 😎💕
What I love about this piano is it's made by Freddie, who also made Bohemian Rhapsody and the piano melodies are very much similar and it came out about 10 years since the release. It's A Hard Life: July 6, 1984. Bohemian Rhapsody: October 31, 1975
I've been trying to find a good one of these for so long this is perfect
Same
By far the best tutorial for this song on YT. Awesome job dude
Thank you for this tutorial I'm so happy because no one else has made this with sheet music 😀
Oh finaly dude! Now I'm gonna go and learn this.
So excited to try playing this one!
I never realized how much it sounds like BoRhap! Wow!
How about doing some live improvs, like Somebody To Love and Play The Game in Montreal 81, Spread Your Wings in Live Killers, The March Of The Black Queen / My Fairy King in Japan 85...
Great!! Can you do a tutorial for "Your Kind Of Lover" by Freddie Mercury? That would be awesome!! Thanx!
Seconded!
Yes! Can’t wait for this one dude! :)
Thank you so much!!❤❤
You are the only one Freddie Mercury plis,the song is a demo and it's beautiful
Love it!!!
I LITERALLY LOVE UR ACCOUNT!!!!
I don't want my freedom
There's no reason for living with a broken heart
This is a tricky situation
I've only got myself to blame
It's just a simple fact of life
It can happen to any one
You win, you lose
It's a chance you have to take with love
Oh yeah, I fell in love
But now you say it's over and I'm falling apart
Yeah yeah
It's a hard life
To be true lovers together
To love and live forever in each others hearts
It's a long hard fight
To learn to care for each other
To trust in one another right from the start
When you're in love
I try and mend the broken pieces
Oh, I try to fight back the tears
Oh, they say it's just a state of mind
But it happens to everyone
How it hurts (yeah) deep inside (oh yeah)
When your love has cut you down to size
Life is tough on your own
Now I'm waiting for something to fall from the skies
I'm waiting for love
Yes it's a hard life
Two lovers together
To love and live forever in each others hearts
It's a long hard fight
To learn to care for each other
To trust in one another right from the start
When you're in love
Yes it's a hard life
In a world that's filled with sorrow
There are people searching for love in every way
It's a long hard fight
But I'll always live for tomorrow
I'll look back at myself and say I did it for love (oh)
Yes I did it for love
For love
Oh I did it for love
I'm doing this for sure
Nice

Can you send the score of the march of the black queen?
Good video but the discord link doesnt work
are there any subtitles?
Does someone else noticed that some parts are recycled from Bohemian Rhapsody and Good ol fashioned lover boy?
It's 'cos they're in the same key (E-flat major/C minor). In the end, chords you can get out of a scale aren't a lot. Obviously some would feel recycled. It's yet beautiful like this.
Anyone feels this one is like Bohemian Rhapsody: That's because the main key/scale of the two numbers is the same, here they are both in B-flat major. Because I can hear the 'do' in both numbers is the same note, and I find a piano to test out that the note here is Bb. Usually I wouldn't bother to find what the exact note it is, thus to find what the exact scale it is, because a song you can put it in C major or F major or others, it's still the exact same song, the relationship between any two notes are still the same. And Freddie here could put this number higher, like to B, or lower, like to A, people wouldn't feel it's alike to BoRhap at all.
And here I want to show maybe you can understand the chords like this, with the example of the section of the video from 0: 18 to 1: 28.
For simplicity we only pay attention to the left-hand sounds, the lower sounds here, and '~' represents the beats.
① do~~~do~~~do~so~la~~~fa~mi~re~~~do~~~do~~~fa~mi~re~la~fa~mi~re~la~la♯~~~
(Now note there's the la♯ / ti♭, appearing, which doesn't belong to the current key/scale, but actually, according to the Circle of Fifths, with the note of la♯ / ti♭ appearing, we can think that the key here has changed from C major to F major, what that means is now we treat fa as do, so as re, la as mi, la♯ as fa, and so on. So instead of "la~la♯~~~", I'm gonna use mi~fa~~~)
② do~~~do~~~do~so~la~~~fa~mi~re~~~do~~~do~~~fa~mi~re~la~fa~mi~re~mi~fa~~~re~~~so~ti~
(Now so~ti~, here I myself want to treat it as do~mi~, that is to say I treat so as do, and according to the Circle of Fifths, I actually go back to the original key in ①. What I mean is like this:
in ①: do re mi fa so la ti
in ②: so la ti do re mi fa
and now here, because now I treat the so as do now. it becomes:
do re mi fa so la ti, so exactly the original key.)
③ do~~~do~~~do~so~la~~~fa~mi~re~~~do~~~do~~~fa~mi~re~la~fa~mi~re~mi~fa~~~re~~~do~mi~fa~do~fa~do~so la la♯ ti do~
(Note here the sequence of semitones, from so going up with semitones, then finally back to the tonal center which is do. It's calculated and beautiful.)
③ do~~~do~~~do~so~la~~~fa~mi~re~~~do~~~do~~~fa~mi~re~la~fa~mi~re~mi~fa~~~re~~~do~mi~fa~do~fa~do~so la la♯ ti do~mi~fa~do~fa~do~so~~~fa~~~
What is alike? I'll put examples of today's songs, most of which are always 4 chords iterating through the whole song, and the 4 chords are not innovative, e.g. many of them keep using la~fa~do~so, or: fa~so~la~mi, etc, just pay attention to the bass sounds, they can be easy to notice. That is called similar chords progression.
And Freddie's songs, not only he will use all the basic chords existing, and diffenrent forms of the them, and different rhythm patterns of them, one most prominent feature of his writing is he likes to change keys, like the demonstration above, and every other place where you feel it's a bit strange is where he changes a bit of keys, and then he comes back to the original key, or the main key of the song, without notice. I believe there's more interesting things in the right hand, and the remains of the song. And of course BoRhap is not alike to this one, which has more complicated key changings, and the chords progression of which is not the same too.
