There’s some debate over the tuning of the guitar. The Beatles complete scores book below suggests GDGGBD tuning. The song is based around G C and D. The above sheet is to simplify the song down to its basis. For a full analysis see the below sheets

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

Queen - Crazy Little Thing Called Love - Guitar Tutorial Lesson (GUITAR ...





HOW TO PLAY ON GUITAR - CRAZY LITTLE THING CALLED LOVE - by Queen from their 1980 album The Game



Performance video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dq1mkKGBW2Y



This video looks at acoustic guitar parts as well as the guitar solo and the fills. Contains on screen guitar tab.



The song kicks off with a D - Dsus4 chord progression before moving to D  G  C  D progression



As reported by Freddie Mercury in Melody Maker, 2 May 1981, he composed "Crazy Little Thing Called Love" on the guitar in just five to ten minutes.



'Crazy Little Thing Called Love' took me five or ten minutes. I did that on the guitar, which I can't play for nuts, and in one way it was quite a good thing because I was restricted, knowing only a few chords. It's a good discipline because I simply had to write within a small framework. I couldn't work through too many chords and because of that restriction I wrote a good song, I think.



— Freddie Mercury

The song was written by Mercury as a tribute to Elvis Presley.[13] Roger Taylor added in an interview that Mercury wrote it in just 10 minutes while lounging in a bath in the Bayerischer Hof Hotel in Munich during one of their extensive Munich recording sessions.[14] Mercury took it to the studio shortly after writing it and presented it to Taylor and John Deacon.[7][15] The three of them, with their then new producer Reinhold Mack, recorded it at Musicland Studios in Munich. The entire song was reportedly recorded in less than half an hour (although Mack says it was six hours).[16] Having written "Crazy Little Thing Called Love" on guitar and played an acoustic rhythm guitar on the record, for the first time ever Mercury played guitar in concerts, for example at Live Aid at Wembley Stadium, London in 1985

"Crazy Little Thing Called Love" is a song by the rock band Queen. Written by Freddie Mercury in 1979, the track is featured on their 1980 album The Game, and also appears on the band's compilation album, Greatest Hits. The song peaked at number two in the UK Singles Chart in 1979, and became the group's first number-one single on the Billboard Hot 100 in the U.S. in 1979, remaining there for four consecutive weeks; it would be the start of Queen's popularity in America.[4][5] It topped the Australian ARIA Charts for seven weeks.[6]



Having composed "Crazy Little Thing Called Love" on guitar, Mercury played rhythm guitar while performing the song live, which was the first time he played guitar in concert.[7] Queen played the song live between 1979 and 1986, and a live performance of the song is recorded in the albums Queen Rock Montreal and Queen at Wembley.[8][9] Since its release, the song has been covered by a number of artists. The song was played live on 20 April 1992 during The Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert, performed by Robert Plant with Queen.[10] The style of the song was described by author Karl Coryat as rockabilly in his 1999 book titled The Bass Player Book



As reported by Freddie Mercury in Melody Maker, 2 May 1981, he composed "Crazy Little Thing Called Love" on the guitar in just five to ten minutes.[12]
