Visiting Freddie Mercury's House at 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.

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

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

video by James Rundle of Rock Licks Guitar Tuition in South Shields



"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]

Queen - Hangman - Guitar Play Along With Tabs

Queen - Hangman from Live At Tokyo 1975



This video is guitar play along with on screen guitar tab as opposed to a guitar lesson.

The main riff is based on an A5 D5 C5 chord progression.



Additional Info



Performed live between 1970 and 1973, and even as late as 1976. The official Queen Archivist (Greg Brooks) has stated that no studio recording of Hangman exists in the archives, however a private collector claims that they own a studio recording existing in the form of an acetate.

According to another private collector, who asked Brian about this song in the early 1990s, a letter exists where Brian confirms that Freddie wrote the lyrics and Brian wrote the music.
