QUEEN - LAZING ON A SUNDAY AFTERNOON - INTRO AND GUITAR CHORDS


How to play on guitar Lazing On A Sunday Afteroon by Queen taken from the album A Night at the Opera

We've taken it down a step to make it a more guitar friendly key and used the capo on the 1st fret so it can be played with the record.

"Lazing on a Sunday Afternoon" is another song by Mercury. He played piano and did all of the vocals. The lead vocal was sung in the studio and reproduced through headphones in a tin bucket elsewhere in the studio. A microphone picked up the sound from the bucket, which gives it a hollow "megaphone" sound. The guitar solo is also reported to have been recorded on the vocal track, as there were no more tracks to record on, as explained by producer Roy Thomas Baker during the 'Classic Albums' documentary. The key change going into the guitar solo (Eb to A) is a tritone relationship, making it a jarring, but very effective, transition into the key of E minor for the next track, "I'm in Love with My Car".
