The Best of Queen (Piano/Vocal/Guitar Artist Songbook) [Paperback] Review

Brian May is one of the finest rock guitarists of all times - I do not think most rockers in the USA fully appreciate his creativity and talent.Now, guitarrists everywhere and of all generations have a fine chance to immerse into the rich music of Queen. this book rocks!
This is a fine songbook with great information about May's style and the career evolution of Queen. I thank the author and the publisher for such a good, thoughtful work. Even the cover is very classy ;-)
This book covers many facets of May's style, from the heavy riffs of "Keep yourself alive" "Hammer to Fall" and "Stone Cold crazy" to the epic solo of "Bohemian Rhapsody" and his work in hits such as "We are the champions", "Killer Queen", "Bycicle race", "Crazy Little Thing Called Love" and "A Kind of Magic". All the music is superb and covers every style in rock, from metal to rockabilly to funk ("Another one bites the dust"). the CD contains all the riffs and solos played in "real" speed and in sequence also VERY SLOW so the beginners can pick up. The author also comments on how to get the distinctive "Brian May sound". I still think it sounds more real when you play the guitar model that bears his name!
It won't be easy to play it all note-by-note and at track speed (after all, it is Brian May stuff) but this is a fun book and you can learn technique and soloing and songwriting in the process of working through the tracks. And it is fun! Hey, it is the "Bohemian Rhapsody" solo, folks!
A commendable work that truly respects and promotes the legacy of a great and influential musician.
