ludwigs wrote: The main solo is played in 4 parts. All four sections are played/recorded the parts 1 & 3 are then reversed and added to 2 & 4 I have done a lesson/tutorial on this many years ago. Intro has me playing a version in left and Queen on the right for comparison. link At the moment I have all the song recorded (covered) except for the verse noodling. This part did take a long time to notate as it is a mixture of the above technique. It's trying to find exactly where the seams are. Guitar is not as driven as initial listening suggests. I will post it here once complete - along with the 2nd part of the tutorial noodly bits)

ludwigs wrote: WOW!!!! I didn't expect that....thank you very much!! Shocked. I have many more to do. Quality in the beginning was very crap but hope to be improving slowly. @SBN: I have a complete recorded cover done which I'm currently filming for a funny??? video as the introduction for the 2nd 'Long Away' one. Many, many recorded more covers to do and re-workings - tutorials are still going to keep going/coming. Some mammoth ones in the pipeline. One of them will probably be about 2 hours long for 1 song....... ;-) I hope to achieve the high standard of the other Queen guitar 'teacher'.....

I have a job that allows me to do these. @Oscar - the other person has literally hundreds of videos. The great thing is that they use other peoples tabs, work nothing out for themselves and can't actually play the parts - slowly and deliberately is the phrase they use.... The ones they do slowly 'play' thru are read off tab sheets as they 'teach'...If you're going to impart/teach them surely you should at least know the parts and understand the piece - be able to determine which string selection or position is best practise? (Oh and know when a 1 fret bend is that instead of doing an wildly aimless 2 fret one..) Also, they'll delete any comments that aren't blowing hot - air out of his arse or are constructive comments...! They are a teacher by trade which is worrying. But, they do state teaching 'advanced techniques' and guitar set-ups. (shock horror) maybe they should set their own one up?? Type 'Queen guitar lessons' on YT. I come in at around 30th in results and mine are all Queen..... ha ha. I DO cry myself to sleep at nights....really I do ;-)

Yeah thanks for your answer.Well if you think you are not really a teacher, I guess I could say that you explain things with precision and when you play some phrases I can relate to that phrase.I mean that you play the song precisely which I believe is very important when trying to learn a song.

In the Long Away video alone, and I've been dying to learn how to play that song properly forever, there are five or six things I would have never known. The detail in the "who knows when now who knows where" section when you don't play the root notes of the C#m and Bm chords makes so much sense and makes the playing so much more enjoyable for me as it sounds totally accurate. In addition, the little rake that you use playing the second passage of the guitar break with the E6 (I think) chord at the 14the fret? Sublime. I don't comment on YouTube and sparingly here but just wanted to give you my sincerest thanks for your videos. No comment on the other "teacher" :) but your stuff is head and shoulders the best Queen tutorial on the net and has brought me great pleasure learning to play things correctly. You're a good man.

ludwigs wrote: That's so very kind !!!!! I'm very grateful that you are getting something out of the vids. I don't get too many comments but I don't do it for that. I'm happy that it could be helping out. I'm not au-fair with promoting my channel as I'm somewhat self-effacing. What I don't understand though is how someone could do for example WWRY lesson and get well over a million and a half views but mine had only 250k after all these years?? ?? I guess big-titted hot chick playing guitar might up the count? Ha ha

Yes, it did make me wonder why he decided to do that one seeing as he did one earlier in his channel and he knows I've done it. Ah well.. Tit-for-tat I decided to do the Live Killers Brighton Rock following on from his trilogy of it. I'm just filming the last few parts of the video 'cover' version that will be the intro for the electric guitars solo section. Not too much longer (he says...)
