QUEEN – FRIENDS WILL BE FRIENDS – GUITAR TUTORIAL – (GUITAR TAB)

Guitar Play Along Video : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OUu3YFXHKyU

“Friends Will Be Friends” is a song performed by Queen and written by Freddie Mercury and John Deacon, included on the album A Kind of Magic. It was the band’s 30th single in the UK upon its release on 9 June 1986, reaching number 14 in the UK.

“Friends Will Be Friends” was performed live on The Magic Tour. It is remarkable that it was the first and only song that was sung at the end of concerts between “We Will Rock You” and “We Are the Champions” since the News of the World Tour in 1977.[1]

The song was included in various greatest hits compilations by Queen such as Greatest Hits II, Greatest Flix II and Greatest

The song’s key signature is G major, and makes heavy use of Brian May’s melodic guitar playing style. A variation of this could be heard in the Live At Wembley ’86 album, as the song is played in F major in this case

QUEEN – FRIENDS WILL BE FRIENDS – GUITAR PLAY ALONG (GUITAR TAB)

The song was included in various greatest hits compilations by Queen such as Greatest Hits II, Greatest Flix II and Greatest Video Hits II.

The video was directed by DoRo and filmed at JVC Studios, Wembley in May 1986 and features the band performing the song in front of fan club members. The lead singer, Freddie Mercury, high fived the audience members and at the end Freddie cuts the music and sings along with the audience letting them lead; because of this, it was nicknamed “Queen’s Greatest Show Never Performed”.

How To Play Queen – Mother Love – Guitar Solo – with on screen guitar tab

How to play the guitar solo from Mother Love by Queen found on the 1995 album Made In Heaven

In the key of G Minor this Brian May solo has a clean sound with passing notes giving a harmonic minor feel to it

This video lesson has on screen guitar tab to make following the video easier

This was the last song Freddie Mercury recorded. May explained in the Days of our Lives documentary that “Freddie would say ‘give me words, I will sing’ so there I was writing on scraps of paper these lines of ‘Mother Love.’ I would give him a line, he would sing it, then sing it again, then sing it again – so we only had three takes of everything. After he’d finished the second verse, he said ‘Oh I don’t feel too well, I’m going to go home and we’ll finish it tomorrow’… and he never did. That was the last time I saw Freddie in the studio.”

The final verse was written and sung by Brian May a couple of years after Mercury died in November 1991. (thanks, Kyle – Dallas, TX)
Roger Taylor is a particular admirer of this song. He notes in the Days of our Lives documentary: “I’m hearing the voice (Freddie’s voice) getting… weaker. But I mean he still hits all the notes. There’s an absolutely spine-chilling note in the middle of “Mother Love” (“out in the city, in the cold world outside, I don’t want pity, just a safe place to hide”) which is just a great bit of singing.”
The lyrics were co-written by Freddie Mercury and Brian May. It is one of the few times in song that Mercury seems to admit his inner pains and struggles of dealing with AIDS (“I’m a man of the world and they say I am strong, but my heart is heavy and my hope is gone”) – the other key one being “The Show Must Go On.”
The random bursts of sound throughout the song and the strange end sounds are small segments of every Queen track ever recorded sped very fast through a tape machine and mashed together. They combine at the end with samples of Mercury’s famous ‘deh-doh!’ vocal interludes with the crowd from Live at Wembley 1986, the synth intro to “One Vision,” and a sample from his very first single, “Goin’ Back” in 1972, which he performed vocals on under the pseudonym of Larry Lurex. In the context of the song it is obviously meant to show the cyclical nature of life and death, and a man looking back across the entire spectrum of his life and career.
