A Kind Of Magic - one take using AmpliTube 5

Remember to visit my Merchandise Store: brian-may-trib...
Not an usual song, but I like it when do it live with my band (usually long improvised guitar solo you know...)
As usual no post EQ or overdubs...simpler than ever.
I used my own preset for AmpliTube (soon to be revealed on the complete review and shared if you like).
Guitar used is my Ferrari Red Special.

Enjoy.

Dude this is the best sounding red special I’ve ever heard. Gives the old man a run for his money!

[@jimmysaviano4950]

Excellent version, singer is killing it too. Bassist and drummer too.

I love these ‘One take’ - great inspiration for playing the songs live!

best cover yet

[@simontromans2748]

Great inspirational playing, love that special! I had a Brian May in honeyburst, lovely fantastic sound but had terrible neck dive and I could only play it sat down, so sold it! Really interested in the version you're weilding. Oddly I've never played any Queen, time to start then. 🤔

Sei uno spettacolo !!!!! Ti seguo da pochissimo ma ho già una stima enorme per la tua tecnica

Found it on an old site

[@MrFickwit]

That was fantastic :)

Thanks a lot

[@martinturner1796]

Well played and great tone as usual 👏

[@robinmues]

Mama Mia !!!

[@mcsnickerman7262]

Hi Marco.. on KZbin someone uploaded a great backing tracking including Freddie’s vocals. If you search “A kind of magic backing track” you can find it! I would love to see you play along to that version

[@MarcoGDiMarco]

Thanks!

[@benjaminwigley4132]

hell THE fuck yes

[@sergeikorolevGZ]

the backing track needs more COWBELL, other than that, perfect

[@ZakwanYuni17]

Just like Queen in 2050

[@nicolasalfred9021]

One dream, one soul One prize, one goal One golden glance of what should be It's a kind of magic One shaft of light that shows the way No mortal man can win this day It's a kind of magic The bell that rings inside your mind Is challenging the doors of time It's a kind of magic The waiting seems eternity The day will dawn of sanity (Ooh ooh ooh ooh) Is this a kind of magic? It's a kind of magic There can be only one This rage that lasts a thousand years Will soon be done This flame that burns inside of me I'm hearing secret harmonies It's a kind of magic The bell that rings inside your mind Is challenging the doors of time It's a kind of magic It's a kind of magic This rage that lasts a thousand years Will soon be, will soon be, will soon be done This is (this is) a kind (a kind) of magic (yeah) There can be only one (one, one, one) This rage that lasts a thousand years Will soon be done (done) Magic (it's a kind of magic) It's a kind of magic Magic magic magic (magic) It's a kind of magic

[@janerikmellesdal571]

Very nice! i have started to play with a coin myself, much cooler sound;)

[@MarcoGDiMarco]

It allows you to have many more sounds

[@CSGDL1922]

Excelent cover , can you do a cover of “prince of the universe”

[@MarcoGDiMarco]

I'd love to! But I can't find a guitar backing track unfortunately! Have you got one?

[@ac30helix44]

I have one !!! And it’s epic

Great! Thanks

[@DefinitelyNotAlexK]

What model of guitar is this? I noticed Johnny Thunders of the NY Dolls playing something similar on the Old Grey Whistle Test but can’t find anything on it

[@MarcoGDiMarco]

Red Special

[@JarnoDamWichers]

Hey man, where do you get those backing tracks? Are those ripped from KZbin? Or do you have a platform?

[@MarcoGDiMarco]

Found them on a specific site no longer online

[@fabiancrocitti]

What gauge strings do you use? Why no more optima golds?

[@MarcoGDiMarco]

They still are Optima 008-038 but since they're pretty old you won't see the gold anymore.

[@HerroYuy246]

@@MarcoGDiMarco oh wow 8’s are tiny!

[@fernandoanguiano6267]

Does anyone have the tab for the main riffs ??

[@RamORam0]

good video my friend

[@MarcoGDiMarco]

Thanks

[@jbbeaudry]

Fantastic! How do you generate the stereo effect? Cheers and Happy New Year, hoping this time it's for real...

[@MarcoGDiMarco]

They are, like in my real rig, two AC30s in stereo...the chorus pedal do the magic. Dry signal on right and wet one on left.

[@Guttalaser]

Perfect!... the tone should be just a bit - really just a touch - "dark/wooly" if this words make any sense! But maybe ... "it's" a kind of magic" that can be done mixing in post! ;-)

[@user-lx3dn9bt9e]

Sounds like Brian played it on neck or neck + middle in phase on the record that's why it sounded rounder/warmer in solos

[@sethclark618]

It sound like he is doing the live at Wembley 86

[@ValBoschi-ix9cd]

I thought for decades that Brian used a spray on his fingerboard, we used to use a spray a bit like fast fret back in the 80s... But now I realise it's just a shiny varnish.. Bwahahaha

[@panda-nb5ur]

where i can get your preset is i love your sound

[@MarcoGDiMarco]

Like I did for AmpliTube 4, I'll share my preset here on this group under the "file" section once I publish the complete review: facebook.com/groups/brianmayitalia

[@guglielmopalumbo4781]

good , what sound card you use? Thanks

[@MarcoGDiMarco]

I used the AXE I/O audio interface.

[@tommasocasaraona7661]

Complimenti! La chitarra è la BMG da 800 euro?

[@MarcoGDiMarco]

Grazie! No, la chitarra è una replica fatta a mano dalla Ferrari Guitars.

[@holivieri]

does Amplitube include the backing tracks of Queen?

[@MarcoGDiMarco]

No. You can find it here: www.guitarbackingtrack.com

[@andresr7769]

And guitar ring 5?🤔

Where did you get the backing tracks?

Some from an old site no longer online, some of them are made with splitter.ai website

Nobody should even try and sing like Freddie this video is a classic example, Good guitar playing but the backing track makes it unbearable to listen to.
