I know Freddie played guitar on Crazy little thing called love. I've heard the song before, but how was his guitar playing live and in general?

it was only on CLTCL that he played guitar....
he was a very basic guitar player if I'm right.

Technique-wise he was very average, but he could come up with riffs..

Ogre Battle & the post-opera bit of Bo Rhap were both his, apparently.
He also played guitar for Love Of My Life
Love Of My Life's guitars were by Dr Wig
John hated Hot Space. Frederick's favourite singer was not Paul Rodgers. Roger didn't compose 'Innuendo.' 'Bohemian Rhapsody' hasn't got 180 vocal overdubs.
What were the other band members good at playing other than the instruments that played live?

Doesnt Brian play Piano/Keyboards...

and what is the difference between the Piano and keyboard anywho?

He tries to copy techniques from brian during CLTCL on stage but fails to play anything more complex. Just sticks to his same old 3 chords.
Awwwwww, bless him!

I can just imagine him wearing a toga and playing the harp in the garden of Eden. Wow!

Brian also plays the Ukele...

John also plays the triangle

Jeez...

Brian played harp in Love of my Life in a cheaty way, recording each chord separately.

Brian can play piano, keyboards in general, ukelele, bass, programmed drums and i'm guessing more stuff.

Roger can play percussion, guitar, bass, keyboards, kazoo...

John can play guitar (in fact the others state him as the best rhythm guitarrist in the band), double bass, keyboards, piano, drums.
Being a Scolar when it comes to Queen...
brian played chord by chord in the harp and then they put it all together in studio...

didn't Brian say freddie was the one who wrote the guitar solo for Bo Rhap. I think i might have heard that on Greatest Video Hits 1. Does that sound right to anyone??
