Queen - It's A Hard Life - Guitar Solo Tutorial Lesson with guitar tab

"It's a Hard Life" is a song by the British rock band Queen, written by lead singer Freddie Mercury. It was featured on their 1984 album The Works, and it was the third single from that album. It reached number 6 in the UK Singles Chart and was their third consecutive Top 10 single from the album. It also reached number 2 in Ireland and number 20 in the Netherlands. It also came 19th on a poll, The Nation's Favourite Queen Song broadcast on ITV on Tuesday 11 November 2014.



Composition

The opening lyric and melody of "It's a Hard Life" is based on the line "Ridi, Pagliaccio, sul tuo amore infranto!" (Laugh, clown, at your broken love!) from "Vesti la giubba", an aria from Ruggiero Leoncavallo's opera Pagliacci.



Musically, the song recreates the feel of "Play the Game" in order to update the story,[1] utilising Mercury's piano playing and the band's characteristic technique of layered harmonies. It is recorded very much with the ethos of earlier Queen albums in that it features 'no synthesizers'. By that time the band had been using synths on record since 1980's The Game and the gesture of returning to the traditional Queen sound was comforting to some fans.

How To Sound Like Brian May

There are lots of articles about this subject which all seem to involve reading loads of info and having a degree in electronics as well as having to spend lots of money.

Brain May Guitar/ Vox AC30 Amp/ Treble Booster/Overdrive/Chorus/Delay

Native Instruments Guitar Rig software is a much easier and affordable way to emulate the sound of Brian May.

AC Box modeled on the Vox AC30. Normal 9; Brilliant 10; Treble 10; Bass 4; Tone Cut 3; Speed 5; Tremolo 0.

You’ll have to make some changes in the cabinet, too. We are going to stay with the 2×12 AC Box model. The mic slider all the way over to “B” and the Dry/Air slider to about 55% Air.

The second amp to be added is also an AC Box with the following settings: Normal 6; Brilliant 10; Treble 6; Bass 4; Tone Cut 2; Speed 4; and Depth 0.

The settings that work best for Brian’s tone are: a 2×12 Custom cabinet, On Axis microphone and a Dynamic 57 mic, you should use Volume 6; Bass 4; Air 5; Pan 5; and Treble 7.

The settings on the Chorus are: Speed -5, Intensity 1 and Width 2.
