Queen - Jesus - Guitar Tutorial



HOW TO PLAY JESUS BY QUEEN ON GUITAR

Jesus is a track found on the 1973 self titled debut album by Queen

A quite straight forward song to learn in terms of structure.
The main riff is Bm F# Bm I've seen it played with F#7 which also sounds quite nice. I'll let you be the judge.
The solo on the record is quite an involved piece so I've stuck to what's going on underneath all the improvised guitar bits.

The Brian May Star licks  video famously explains one of the end licks from the solo which is mentioned in this video and the very end Lick is found in the Queen Band Score Book see link below

Visiting Freddie Mercury's House in Garden Lodge





September 2016 trip to London we took the tube to Earls Court to visit Freddie Mercury's house at Garden Lodge
There's not much to see but here but the back gate of the outside wall protecting the property. But it makes a nice place to have you photo taken.
Anti graffiti coats the walls and many people have written on the plastic sheets fitted to part of the wall.
Personally I didn't want to write on the wall  but quietly play my guitar and overdub full guitar sound when I got back home. A salute to the greatest rock singer of all time and the music that is a soundtrack to so many of our lives.
My young son had his photo taken holding his Brian May Mini Guitar which will make a very fond family memory.
