Thanks Diki and Trident.
I have played this song for years now both with groups doing the pro club circuit, groups on the cruise ships etc and I know the words Freddy sings note for note, so I was singing it to myself whilst playing it.
I've got no need to tap my feet or a desk for timing/rhythm, my head works that out automatically
IMO there are no timing issues as this is exactly how I wanted it to sound, as Diki rightly puts above as Freddy would phrase what he sings himself. Listen to the original and compare the style I created, bass line, guitar parts, lead lines etc
You can never please everyone regardless of who you are are what skill you may or may not have, so although Squeak is entitled to his opinion above, since he is a guitarist his ears are possibly more accustomed to hearing how a guitarist would play this song.
The first version I posted of this which I know Scott Yee says has more feeling and I agree with him, is how I would play it normally. People requested they wanted to hear the vocal part played with a synth and the drums more up front, so this is what they got and I wanted to give more ballsy/guts feeling to it lol
Killer Queen... tempting but I can't see any keyboardist doing justice to that song, think it's best left for the groups.
Now something like Radio ga ga or Who wants to live forever where synths are prominent would work.
I appreciate all the comments, that's why I'm going to continue to post songs on here. There's no stopping me now
