Learn the Wall of Sound: Funny How Love Is Guitar Lesson (Queen II)

In this lesson, we explore the bright, folk-rock textures of "Funny How Love Is" from Queen’s 1974 masterpiece, Queen II. This track is a fantastic study in rhythm guitar and capturing a vintage 1960s-inspired production style on the guitar.

What You’ll Learn:

• The driving acoustic and electric rhythm patterns that propel the track.

• A breakdown of the chord progressions used by Freddie Mercury and Brian May.

• Tips on achieving that shimmering "jangle" tone that defines the song.

Fascinating Song Facts:

• The "Wall of Sound": Producer Roy Thomas Baker used a "Wall of Sound" technique for this track, inspired by Phil Spector. The dense, layered production makes the guitars and vocals sound massive and continuous.

• Studio Magic: The song was created entirely in the studio. It is notable for having a "segue" intro, as it begins immediately after the final notes of "The March of the Black Queen" fade out.

• The High Notes: This is one of the few Queen songs where Freddie Mercury sings in a consistently high, almost choral register throughout, mirroring the uplifting message of the lyrics.

• Never Played Live: Because of the extremely complex studio layering and the reliance on the "Wall of Sound" production, Queen never performed "Funny How Love Is" live in concert.
