Who Wrote What?

There are many guitar solos Brian created (though not all of them), but that doesn't make him a co-author. Same for the others and their respective roles.

I agree with you, and i´m not disputing this. The information was just for all who might be interested about how the creative process was in Queen. I certainly like to know these things.
For me, it was an absolute shock to find out that Freddie was responsible for the Innuendo middle section. Brian also mentions on the Star Licks video the direction Freddie gave him for the "It´s a hard live" solo. It´s fascinating to know these things.

Very good point! It´s the same kind of thinking, and in the same era - 1984.

If it is indeed Freddie, then the song was pretty much completed back in 1984.
Oh man, so many questions, i just hope that one day maybe they´ll release a book about the studio sessions.

They've got bigger priorities, though, such as re-re-re-re-re-re-re-releasing Greatest Hits and Wembley and touring with an AI loser.

I'm not that good musician neither is my hearing but I'm able to play It's a Hard Life on the piano and that particular bit (in both songs) is always playing the same chord ascending through inversions.
Each beat consists of an augmented eigth note followed by a sixteenth note.

Well, I'm not 100% sure but I hope it helps a little bit
and you'll understand what I mean.

There are lots of so called musicians nowadays that don´t have half the hearing you have. You´ve made a very good point about the style in question, and it was indeed used often by Freddie even in live concerts. Maybe one day they´ll release the Rod Stewart version or release a book about the studio sessions.
