Queen - It's a Hard Life (Guitar Cover)

This is my absolute favourite Queen track! I think it's so typically Queen, so typically a Freddie song and Brian's solo is one of the most melodic solos of all time in my eyes (or should that be ears). It just sings beautifully! I also love Brian's tone and his spontaneous sounding rhythm parts in the verses that accentuate the piano chords. I tried to copy them as best I can but I think it's one of those things where he wouldn't play it the same twice. I was contemplating doing the live version from Rio but settled on the album cut. I also did something I thought I never would and turned off my compressor setting and I'm very happy with the tone it gave me when backing off my volume. I hope you enjoy! You can find my other Queen covers here -    • QUEEN Covers   I use a Charvel DK24 (it's purple) into a Boss Me50 into a Palmer Pdi-09 into a Focusrite Scarlett into my computer running Logic Pro X. F.A.Q. My headphones are purposely like that so the cable stays out the way. I have a Patreon where I upload my notation notes for all my new covers and I am going through my old ones too. But I also provide custom notation and video lessons content there or at my [email protected] address. Please get in touch if you want help playing the music you love.   / bwm5150
