brianmayforreal : We WILL Rock You !!! - again - given half a chance !!! š Micro Moment #11. This is the riff I get asked about most often. It gets that strange āclangā to it because Iām playing a high āA majorā chord as a ābarā on strings 2, 3 and 4, way up at the octave position, but the A-string is not fretted - itās left behind at the bottom sounding a low open āAā. So you get that āinterferenceā between the harmonics of the component notes. Especially with the amp turned up into distortion, as here. Iām not hitting the bottom āEā at all. When we first recorded this, I was determined to break all the rules. Including putting the solo at the end of the song instead of somewhere in the middle ! And having no drums !!! Funny - ironically it became a drum favourite - which makes me very happy ! But the stamps and claps became a trade-mark. Here you can hear the guitar with NOTHING else !!! Cheers ! Bri Via Brian May

My 7yr old granddaughter is totally infatuated with Queen, she sings every song she hears from you guys, and she is a sweetheart trapped in an old soul. I'm diggin it. Girl after my own heart.
