    In this video lesson I am going to show you Brian May's classic guitar solo that ends "We Will Rock You" by the legendary Queen.
    Undoubtedly, you have heard this song a millions times on the radio, at sporting events and in commercials.
    So in this We Will Rock You guitar lesson video, you will finally learn how to play that climatic ending just like Brian May did it.
    The solo comes in with a sustaining harmonic that launches into a simple power chord rhythm. I will break down the strumming hand for this part in addition to showing you the chords.
    Brian May then takes everything up an octave to the 14th fret and the real fireworks begin. You will be playing two triads (A major & D major) by constantly hammering-on and pulling-off between the two chords. In between all of this there is some cool hybrid picking licks as well. I will break all of those lick down note-for-note.
    The solo quickly comes to an end almost as suddenly as it begins, but within that short time there are some great guitar techniques to get under your fingers. Have fun!
    Carl...

    Carl is my first stop when I a looking for a quick, no bullshit breakdown of a cover. If you are good enough to play the piece, you can put it together. Thank you Carl for all your videos!!!!

  • @AlbertoJorgeSoares

    The intro is not just the harmonic... I think there's real feedback together with it. Maybe I'm wrong, as May's guitar has an unique sound...

    To be fair... if you’re good enough to play this solo, you are good enough to use your ears to help you put this together if he didn’t explain it to your liking. He shows you where your fingers go on the neck so just figure the rest out yourself and stop enabling your playing by needing a step by step on every single note.

    • @pranjaljkr
      @pranjaljkr 4 года назад +1

      If you have a little practice too, you can pick it up in 15 minutes or so in the second attempt. Just don't get intimidated by the song, the comments really overstate the difficulty of the song, it's pretty easy.
      TIP: Don't try to follow EXACTLY what Carl is doing. Try figuring out the rhythm on your own by looking at him play.
      PS: Carl is playing perfectly. He is a genius, but sometimes trusting your ear helps. Once again, Carl is not wrong.

      @DiscontinuedChannelOne 4 года назад +2

      It’s not overdrive, it’s distortion.
      There’s a difference
      Overdrive - pushes everything to the Max
      Distortion - completely changes the tone
      In short
      Overdrive is more softer than distortion
      Distortion is heavier
