297. Brighton Rock - Queen/Brian May - Guitar Cover

It's so good to know there's still a little magic in the air...
/ joeobrown
Stolen from Wikipedia:
Written by Brian May, "Brighton Rock" tells the story of two young lovers named Jenny and Jimmy meeting in Brighton on a public holiday, Mods travelling to Brighton on bank holidays was a popular narrative at the time, such as The Who's Quadrophenia. Jenny cannot linger because she is afraid her mother will find out "how I spent my holiday", but afterwards "writes a letter every day"; Jimmy, eager on the day, is not so happy with her "nothing can my love erase": now he is the one afraid of discovery by "my lady". The song includes an unaccompanied guitar solo interlude, which used delay to build up guitar harmony and contrapuntal melodic lines. The studio version only contains one "main" guitar and one "echoed" guitar for a short section, but live, May would usually split his guitar signal into "main" and two "echoed", with each going to a separate bank of amplifiers. The guitar solo on this song has been performed live at most concerts by Queen or May, either as part of this song, in a medley with another, or as a standalone piece. May also performed some of the solo at the closing ceremony of the 2012 Summer Olympics in London. The song was notably used in the 2017 film Baby Driver, being one of the favorite songs of the main character Baby and played during the film's final action scene.

Never trust a guy with the artists signature guitar. They just make it look way to easy and like its actually possible

[@figuradificil8030]

I can play this in a Tagima T530 :)

Brian May is one of the smartest, most creative, and most talented guitarists in the world, in my humble opinion. And you matched him note for note. Hats off to you, fella.

[@andyyoung2997]

The opening riff on Brighton Rock is totally and completely the reason I started playing guitar as a ten year old! It's still is the most exciting piece of guitar ever!

[@ivorbacon3825]

Check out guitarist Randy Rhodes on Ozzy Osbourne album "Diary of a Madman". Early 80s. Sadly died in plane crash but easily one of best players in the world at the time. Genius just like Brian May.

Lyrics: Happy little day, Jimmy went away Met his little Jenny on a public holiday A happy pair they made, so decorously laid 'Neath the gay illuminations all along the promenade "It's so good to know there's still a little magic in the air I'll weave my spell" "Jenny will you stay, tarry with me pray Nothing 'ere need come between us tell me love, what do you say?" "Oh no I must away to my Mum in disarray If my mother should discover how I spent my holiday It would be of small avail to talk of magic in the air I'll say farewell" Oh Rock of Ages, do not crumble, love is breathing still Oh Lady Moon, shine down a little people magic if you will Jenny pines away, writes a letter everyday "We must ever be together, nothing can my love erase" "Oh no I'm compromised, I must apologize If my lady should discover how I spent my holidays"
