QUEEN MEDLEY....
FROM THE FREDDIE MERCURY TRIBUTE ALBUM
notes: Im a huge queen fan an a bassist at that...noticed that no one
Tribute concert....odd! This isnt note for note of what Nuno and
co do, it's the tabs from Queen songs all pasted together...its
also not the exact version...my band does champions instead of
radio ga ga at the end....youd have to swap to a fretless bass to
that good John Deacon sliding sound.
For the most precise Queen sound i suggest the guitarist uses a
sixpence for a pick!
The Bass version will be available soon as soon as i tab it out!
thanks and enjoy!

*here is where gary cherone does a typical 'call and echo' with the crowd
(of 300000!!!)...freddie used to do these lots...just use a standard 4/4
drum beat and let loose!
then segue into RADIO GA GA OR:
10) WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS*
* it's supposed to be RADIO GA GA but our band prefers
to finish off on champions.
