Hate to say it but I remember it coming out.
Well done mate

Hi Mate

Hi Ewan

It was well before my time this as i'm only 36 i feel like i've got stuck in the 60's as all my uploads up to now are from that era .. maybe i was born too late
i tried to keep it as close to the original as possible.

thanks Andy

The second key change went a little smoother than the first during the transition, but I hear nothing but good coming out of this one.

Fine job mate! I'd give you some thumbs up but my browser won't let me use smilies again, (as it did once before). After I repair it I'll return with smilies and edit some in! LOL!
Hi Krazy

I know what you mean about you not been a big 'freddie fan' some of his songs were a bit poor imo but like you i like this one by them.
Yep the Key changes gave me a lot of greif and i wasn't overly happy with the smoothness of the transposition but that was the best i could get it , i already spent far too many hours trying to get them right i thought sod it that will do in the end .. I learn't alot from making this song though , one of them been don't pick a song with 2 key changes

Thanks for lending my song your expert ear my old pal

cheers

andy

But, just took a little time this morning listening your song and let me tell you my friend that it sounds great to me.
A very pure and clear guitar accompained by a nice style plus all the arrangements you made.
Can't remember well this tune, but I don't care because now I got the original played by you , and I believe I prefer your version instead the one on You Tube.
Thanks for this clever rendition and my best to you and Family.
Julio.-
Hi Julio

Don't be working too hard my friend as you need to be here with us having fun on our keyboards
Glad you enjoyed it .. i think i bit off more than i could chew a bit with it really but i kept slogging away at it , i've been playing the keyboard for less than 2 years so i can be excused for a few c**k ups :whistle:
Glad you enjoyed it mate and the very best to you and yours too .

cheers

andy

A real trip down memory lane this one, and you've done it proud. The el. gtr. worked well as a solo voice, and the tune sounded pretty true to the original.

Excellent stuff. You captured the mood of the song perfectly & played it superbly. I admire people who can do clever things with midis & styles - your hard work paid off!
Well done - Andrew

Hi Andy, Got to agree with Julio, Definitely better than the You tube version, My you are coming on in leaps and bounds,using Jorgens style maker, that's one area that Ty2 has I've yet to master , you have nailed it, brilliant stuff...Pam
