I recorded this song to share on the on-line open mic for our local musicians, but I thought I could post it here too. I had not heard this Queen song in a long time, but it was being played on a documentary about them that I caught part of last night. I need to watch the whole thing.
I looked up the chords and played it through a few times. There is a bit with Bm over a descending bass that I have not quite got. I started off strumming barre chords, then open chords. Then I tried finger-picking it and quite liked that. This style is a bit of a challenge to me due to my weakened right hand. You may notice I struggle a bit and resorted to strumming the last chorus.
I recorded in our new summerhouse. There may be some ambient noise of birds and traffic. After I had done my three songs for the open mic I kept playing for a while. I just went through various songs I know to refresh them in my mind. I do not think anyone was listening in on me. We do not have really close neighbours.
You may as well have a bonus of one of my own songs. I wrote this for an old Steemit Open Mic songwriting challenge where we were given titles to use.
I hope everyone is coping well with the lockdown. Music helps me get through it.
Rock on!
