Queen - Rain Must Fall | Guitar Lesson + TAB 🎸🌧️

Welcome back! Today, we’re diving into a hidden gem from Queen’s 1989 album The Miracle—the infectious and rhythmic "Rain Must Fall." This lesson breaks down the funky, percussive guitar lines and melodic fills that Brian May used to give this track its unique "Latin-pop" feel.

Song Facts:

• The Miracle Era: "Rain Must Fall" is the seventh track on The Miracle, an album known for being the first where all songs were credited to the entire band, regardless of who wrote them.

• Freddie & John’s Collaboration: While credited to the band, the song originated as a collaboration between Freddie Mercury (lyrics) and John Deacon (music). You can really hear John’s rhythmic influence in the bass-driven groove.

• Brian’s Jazz Influence: For this track, Brian May stepped away from his usual heavy rock sound to provide lighter, almost jazz-fusion inspired guitar licks and a very melodic, clean-toned solo.

• Lyrical Meaning: The song’s lyrics serve as a reminder that even in the most successful lives, "into every life, a little rain must fall"—a poignant message given what the band was going through at the time.

What’s in this video:

• Full Song Walkthrough: From the rhythmic verses to the bright, melodic chorus.

• On-Screen Guitar TAB: Follow the real-time scrolling parchment TAB to get every funky strum and fill exactly right.

• Technique Focus: I’ll show you how to handle the palm-muting and "scratch" strumming that gives the song its drive.

Gear Used:

• Guitar: Brian May Special (BMG)

• Amp/Effects: [Insert your setup, e.g., Vox AC30 / Clean settings with a touch of chorus]

• Tuning: Standard (EADGBE)
