Hey, I was just introduced to Queen by a friend, and was looking at some track lists to some albums I wanted to buy on internet. And I see that both "Queen I" and "Queen II" has the song Seven Seas Of Rhye on them. Is it the same track, or is one of them a live version or something..?

on queen i, the seven seas of rhye is the original version (it was an instrumental), and the one on queen ii (the one from greatest hits if you have it) was a complete remake

yeah, no kidding! how does he do that?! - i mean, sure, he's a brilliant musician (we all know that), but blimey, i play a bit of keyboard but the pace at which he gets that right hand across the keys is incredible - on the Wembley '86 DVD i can't tell whether he hits one key with his thumb and then another with his pinky and so on, or whether he hits both thumb and pinky at the same time...anybody find me somebody who knows?

it really isnt all that hard, but it still sounds absoulutely beautiful!
The fingers to play it with are
1 2 and 4 with the thumb being 1
Alternate between the chord of D and G twice in the pattern of the riff, do the D one more time and then hit the note D twice before repeating the process.
If you are learning it, start slowly so you can get the pattern in your head. After that its fairly easy to play. {a similar song (in speed and technique) is the Van Halen keyboard solo from Jump.}
