QUEEN - LAS PALABRAS DE AMOR (THE WORDS OF LOVE) - GUITAR PLAY ALONG WITH CHORDS AND TABS
Includes guitar tab for Brian May guitar solo as well as on screen chord names
In this video we look at the classic Queen song from 1982 Hot Space album"Las Palabras de Amor (The Words of Love)" is a rock ballad by the British rock band Queen. It was released as the third single from their 1982 album Hot Space. Written by guitarist Brian May, the song proved more popular in the United Kingdom than their previous single ("Body Language"), reaching #17 in the UK Singles Chart
The song's lyrics were written by guitarist Brian May. Vocals were provided by lead singer Freddie Mercury with May on the high harmony vocal. The song was inspired by the band's close relationship with their Latin American fans. It marked the band's final studio appearance on Top of the Pops (having previously appeared to promote "Seven Seas of Rhye", "Killer Queen", "Now I'm Here" and "Good Old-Fashioned Lover Boy" respectively). For this mimed performance May is seen playing a grand piano as well as his guitar and, on the recording, he plays both piano and synths in addition to acoustic and electric guitars. May also sang lead vocals for the harmonized line "this time and evermore" throughout the song. At one point Mercury is seen miming incorrect words.
During the Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert at Wembley Stadium in 1992, this was the third song of the second half, performed by Zucchero and Queen. In Queen + Paul Rodgers Rock The Cosmos-tour 2008 it was played in the Spanish speaking countries, sung by Brian.
This song also made it onto 1999 Queen's Greatest Hits III after the Made in Heaven song "Heaven for Everyone" but before Brian May's single "Driven by You

The Brian May 'Mini Guitar' has recently been updated with a improved design.
Still featuring the Red Special shape and Trisonic single coil pickup the bridge is further down the body enabling a 18 fret neck and better intonation.
The old design above
Available from brianmayguitars.co.uk the guitar is advertised as a travel guitar but serves well for younger guitarists.
This in my opinion is the best short scale guitar I've played and with the Trisonic pickup you are still able to get a decent Brian May sound on a guitar that holds it's tuning and a neck large enough for an adult to play. But with a body small enough to allow a child to play
Check out YouTube review below for a full look at this awesome little guitar
