Favorite part in a Queen song.

The "run" at 4:02 doesn't sound very chromatic to me. Interesting breakdown though - where did you find all this information?

Which information? The times? That's thanks to the fact YouTube's got a little menu on each video: on the bottom left corner there's a button to pause or resume, then one to go to the next one, one to either mute or change volume and then they inform you how long it's been since the video started and when it's gonna end.

Cute master suppression techniques you've got there. Forget that I asked.

But my favorite thing is the spanish guitar.
It's not to exclude may, though.

It doesn't exclude him, since on roughly 71% of it he's the only one playing the lead, and on the remaining 29% of it he's dueting with Steve.

About 23% of things I say on the internet are classed as 'ok'. The other 47% is made up by a self loving 'expert', the other 68% no one could care about, the remaining 28% is just cat videos. I am better than you because my life is so empty I have the time to percentagise what I do with my life.

I just made up a new word.

I am better than you.

So says 100% of my ego.

That's great, good for you. Also, you've just demonstrated you failed to do primary school maths.

0.0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001% of the world cares. The other 58% doesn't.

Actually, you seem to do, since you keep reading my posts. Thank you for making me such an important part of your life.

Thanks for the response Sebastian. I tried to follow the music with your timing but it happens so fast that I cannot hear them separately :-)

I think your point is also valid as I can feel the Spanish atmosphere in the solo performed by Brian at the 1992 tribute concert:

Maybe a good idea could be a fan recreation depicting what Brian played and what Steve played, similar to what some people do with Beatles vocals (e.g., https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qWONqXt1XZ8 and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9JqPwvU4gTY). It's not the same as actually having the stems or multi's (if they ever become available to begin with), but that'd be better than nothing.

I downloaded a midi of the piece and modified it slightly to reflect what I think is on the record. It's obviously not even close to having the multi's or the stems but it's better than nothing and it can show which part is played by each of them.

Also, I counted the notes played by the lead guitars on that flamenco bit: 613 (in such a short time), out of which 173 (28.22%) are played by Steve. Arguably, that's still the best 28.22% of the song :)

But still, mathematically, Brian played 72.78% of the classical lead guitar, and 100% of the distorted lead guitar, so 'Innuendo' is still chiefly his input in terms of guitar playing.

I guess I'll make a video for the file and put it on my YT channel.

There it is:

 First you hear the midi of the four guitars together.

Then just Brian's strummed rhythm.

Then the first of Brian's solo parts.

Then the second of Brian's solo parts.

Then Steve's part.

Then the whole bit but without Steve (only Brian's parts).

Excellent. That is 100% cool. Thank you very much for your effort, Sebastian!
