  1. Queen The Complete Chord Songbook, Softback

    I personally would never buy "sheet music" with just chords and lyrics. The sheet that I would buy are those that contain notes of the original piano track, original guitar track and vocal track (or close to original)...

  4. Harmony/composing skills

    Sebastian, thanks. I didn't expect so many great examples. It clearly indicates you are expert on this department and that you have a lot of experiences with it. I think there is not many people that know Queen songs...

  5. Harmony/composing skills

    Why I even write this? because it seems to me that more complex harmony can give so much extra emotions to the song (and makes the song much better of course) IF the composer knows how to use it correct (depends on th...

  6. Harmony/composing skills

    Hi all, It is quite a while since I visited this forum the last time. After a while, I admit I lost a little bit of motivation for reading the forum because most things that are interesting and important to us fans we...

  7. The instruments of the band...

    This is the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Drd032G0Wg The piano really looks high gloss, not satin. It probably was refinished. It was necessary, old tarnished finish looked terrible. Maybe the piano was also...

  8. The instruments of the band...

    thank for confirmation. I believe that Freddie's Steinway D was shown at Brian's place during an interview few years ago. Do you know where is white Bechstein? It should be regarded as one of the most (historically) i...

  9. The instruments of the band...

    It would be interesting to know where the white piano (Bechstein) is, the one used for recording Bohemian Rhapsody. I believe the same piano was used for Hammersmith gig 75. I think this piano is forgotten. It is quit...

  10. Freddie Mercury-Send In The Clowns

    I am pretty sure Gregsynth can do it, actually anyone can do it. You just need a program to lower the pitch. You can download Audacity for instance (free) and make this in a few seconds. But with cheap or free program...

  11. Freddie Mercury-Send In The Clowns

    If the recording was really originally made in E major, then we might have a “problem”. I am pretty sure Freddie would choose Eb major/C minor in 95 % over E major IF we are talking about piano playing. From analyzing...

  12. Mystery of Boh Rhap piano track

    I might be artistic decision, but 3 seconds have absolutely no effect in a song that is almost 6 minutes long. It almost sound like an error.

  13. Mystery of Boh Rhap piano track

    I somehow tend to agree it is artistic reason, but on the other hand I am asking myself what is the point of changing the tempo for such a small amount of speed: three seconds are completely unnoticed in the whole son...

  14. Mystery of Boh Rhap piano track

    Thanks C Matt.I thought simple metronomes from 1975 could normally only click on the round numbers and that's why I thought it was slowed down to 71 BPM (I checked and the actual song has a ballad speed of exact 71 BP...

  15. Mystery of Boh Rhap piano track

    My theory. We know that Freddie was an amazing rhythm piano player and normally didn't need metronome for recording piano track. To my opinion there are 3 evidences that he didn't use metronome in Boh Rhap piano track...

  16. Mystery of Boh Rhap piano track

    I would like to find out what happened with the piano track of Bohemian Rhapsody. I noticed there is a little difference between the original piano track (part of multitrack - also available on youtube) and the piano...

  19. freddie Mercury's Crowning Studio Vocal

    Yes, I believe Barcelona has one of the best vocals. No doubt about it. In 70s he had sweet, “oiled”, crystal clear voice in the upper register (F4-B4), but he lacked power. In 80s he lost a little bit of “clear” voic...

  20. freddie Mercury's Crowning Studio Vocal

    For me best vocal performance is without any doubt “How can I go on” (not original, but alternative version) and “Show must go on” close second - best high note (D5) ever recorded from Freddie. Yes, there are also hig...
