    For things like this, Brian May and the Red Special are the true soul of the Queen group.

      Hi there! I'd really love to, but I'm afraid I didn't use any tabs and learned by ear. My version is based on many live versions by Brian through the years, so the only way I can offer is for you to slow down the video through youtube and learn slowly!

    Creo que si no hubiese sido por la película "Highlander" / Los inmortales" nadie entendería de alguna forma "demasiado alternativa posible" la letra, y eso en caso de que a alguien de diese por darle "alguna importancia misteriosa repentina".
    Porque es tan OBVIA desde siempre para cualquiera (para quien habla inglés o lo entiende bien en su contexto).
    De todas las maneras "Highlander" era una buena película en general, pero con un absurdo grandísimo que es "lo que llama la atención en realidad", por incoherente incluso en su contexto de ficción. Lo de que "sólo podía quedar uno".
    Estupidez MUY grande que te saca totalmente del significado para cualquiera de lo relevante de la película:
    (Who wants to...etc etc, when etc etc...?)
    "Grandísimos descubrimientos repentinos supermodernos de la humanidad..."
    (Que por lo visto "antes no". Aunque todo el mundo "en la calle" supiese que sí...)

    • @merlinthomi
      @merlinthomi 8 месяцев назад +1

      @@BD12 It's more than that, I think between the 3000-3500 mark. But it a proper replica of the red special, apart from the top and the colour. The super has some compromises, like the finish on the fretboard and the tremolo bridge which is slightly different. If you're looking for a good guitar which is "in the ballpark", go for the super. If accuracy to the original design is more your thing, I'd look for a luthier! This one was made by Belben guitars, Loxley and Dansan guitars are also very good!
