Somebody To Love for fingerstyle guitar

[TonoKennedy]

thats so beauutifuul!

[ironmonger100]

@TonoKennedy Thanks friend :-)

[superflyflash1977]

Mate I find the chord transition from the first and second note so tough! That's a bad sign for me lol. You make it look so easy, I love this song. How long did it take for you to work out?

[ironmonger100]

@superflyflash1977 Hi Daniel, this one took a bit longer than usual, It's a substantial chord progression alright. If any bits give you trouble, just work out what chord you want and which melody note then try and find a different voicing for the chord :-)

[MillePetrozza10]

OMG, unbelievable man, de puta madre!

[spudy44]

@aaronalpha....hahahahaha LMAO x

[aaronalpha147]

4 people thought this was Justin biebers crappy song......

[aaronalpha147]

i need a tab for what you just did

[hundkommandant]

I'm impressed, the best arrangement I've ever heard. You are the best man!

[guitarricktrue]

I was thrilled man...

[piemant1]

very nice mister! One question, do u use ur fingernails?

[ironmonger100]

@piemant1 Sorry for the late reply -- yes I play with fingernails rather than the flesh. I have them strengthened with acrylic.

[TheVinn1982]

kejam sekali aransemenmu Oom ?!?

[dRonek]

[PsiBrr]

This would sound OUTSTANDING on a harp guitar.

[ryconster]

unbelievable, simply amazing perfomance!!:)

[putt1505]

Stunning as usual Mr. Murray. I'll buy the tab for this one to give me something great to focus on as I anxiously await (and check your website every day for) the tab for your incredible Unbreak My Heart. :)

[ironmonger100]

@putt1505 Thanks! Glad you like it :-) .. Unbreak My Heart on its way soon...

[ironmonger100]

@mands11 Thankyou, I enjoyed arranging this one for guitar :-) glad you like it

[hard0candies]

Wow, this is incredible. I keep watching your Queen covers, and they're all very beautiful interpretations of the music.

[idahostudios]

Beautiful!

[lioryaa]

I have no words to describe how beautiful this is.

I keep getting back every day to hear that (you’re in my favorite’s toolbar…) and it’s getting even better each and every time.

Thank you!

[BFMVFEVER2]

[ironmonger100]

@kankanlovers3 That's kind - thankyou! :-)

[shanonanon17]

I love this! I'm thinking of using this arrangement for acoustic for my wedding processional :-)

[ironmonger100]

@shanonanon17 Thanks ! Wow, that would be different: a Queen song for your processional - go for it!

[addicted2guitar3999]

You are AWESOME!!!!! I hope I can play like you one day.

[jozee216]

I really enjoy listening to your music. Do you think you can do one with the joe cocker, you are so beautiful? I'm getting married in a few months and would love to have that as my processional song.

[mrstosxyCena]

this is actually beautiful - it's put all stress behind and has let me relax :)

[tishomingocarol]

Beautiful. Thank you!!

[Pierre61]

Wonderful stuff!

[TheHom]

Stunning arrangement and beautifully played.

You should be very proud of your work sir

[GiGiR09]

Sweet

[JoFandango]

Amazing !

Bravo for the incredible work around Queen music !

[LucieAndTheDiamonds]

Shaun, You are guitar, piano, bass, voices ... in one :-)

[acousticanaetati]

WOW that's awesome! Queen is my favorite band ever, and your arrangements are incredible! What's the tunning for this one?

[tiziogxl]

Magnificamente bello *-*

[BobsArtGallery]

Marvelous arrangement...Thanks for posting.

[ironmonger100]

@BobsArtGallery ... Thanks, appreciate that. ... glad you like the Queen stuff :-)

[earsoup]

this is just great, arranging is a hard work !

[MrJimdeb]

Sounds great. Great arrangement and great playing.

[SecretAsianMan97]

Man you should definitely do a video lesson for this!

[YvetteCarteBlanche]

Oh my gosh I absolutely LOVED 3:13 - 3:20!

[ironmonger100]

@YvetteCarteBlanche ... It looks ilke you had a Queenfest tonight Hannah :-) chat soon x

[YvetteCarteBlanche]

@ironmonger100 I actually had! Yes, I wasn't really into Queen, but like... six months ago, I really became a fan! But just when you think about it... When I was born, Freddy was already gone :( Have you ever heard them live?

[thevintagekid69]

i want your skills.....

[ironmonger100]

@thevintagekid69 ..Well I'm glad you liked it :-) Thankyou, appreciated.

[ChristinaDinetti]

Really good! I love this song, and this is the best version I've been able to find so far. Keep it up!

[ironmonger100]

@ChristinaDinetti ..Thankyou - glad you like my version :-)

[Salse7rito]

Great.

The Queen Cover Collector was here.

[ironmonger100]

@Salse7rito ....Thanks, really appreciate your support, should be posting Save Me and You're My Best Friend soon so look out for those

[kwaterny]

I hope some day you'll play "Too much love will kill you". Awesome....

[14Chelsy]

that's fantastic! 

[moonshineracer]

amazing. No more words.

[misterdoublexx]

Superb again!

[misterdoublexx]

This is absolulety perfect! I'm a big fan of Queen and 'Somebody to Love' is one of my favorite songs. I also play some guitar but this goes well over my head!! I'm curious though how long it took playing like this?

( I'm considering to stop playing after having seen this because i'm affraid this is not within my reach)

Keep up the good work. I'll be watching!!! ;-

[ironmonger100]

@misterdoublexx ..... Thanks for such a kind comment, I'm pleased you think I did justice to one of favourite songs. Queen songs are just so interesting to arrange on Classical guitar I think - I have a few others on here, and a couple more to upload soon, hope you'll look out for them. As for your question - I've been playing for 40 years nearly - but I gave up for 20 of those, didn't play between age 16 and 36! Thanks again.

[diddlybuds]

Absolutely, totally, incredibly beautiful. Left me in tears for some reason - you made (what I believed to be) an already impossibly beautiful song into something more so; thank you. You are very, very gifted.

[ironmonger100]

@diddlybuds Wow, thanks so much DiddlyBuds, I'm happy my playing moved you :-) ... I see from your channel notes you're a fan of Julie Andrews too - I have two Sound of Music songs on here, hope you can find a moment to check out my arrangements of them too. Thanks again

[luukey9]

Wow- Shaun- another fabulous arrangment!

I think I'll pick this one for the one you still 'owe' me.

Of course, the truth is, I owe you so much for to your lovely renditions and the chance to spend many happy hours trying to learn them myself!

It's always a joy to visit you on youtube.

Dave

[jawmunji]

Finally found my way here, great arrangement! Well played, definately classical roots showing there. Audio tone was a bit hollow...maybe sweep the mids and boost the bass/treble to give it a bit more oomphf. Loved it though, about to surf some more of your Queen arrangements! :)

JAW

[tdrider2008]

Wow ur amazing

[ironmonger100]

@gc2605 Thankyou :-) for details of tablature please visit shaunmurray. biz

[9Xaraythang]

Wow that was amazing!!!! I'm so glad I happened to click on this video, you are so incredibly talented!! I taught myself how to play the guitar last summer and I'm still not very good, but I really hope I can some day be able to play this song (definitely will not be as great as how you just played it)!!! I'm excited to watch your other videos!

[GuitarRomancer]

Love this song and wow what a fabulous arrangement, you're a very talented arranger! You play it really great too. Thanks so much for sharing, GR

[ironmonger100]

@GuitarRomancer That means a lot, thanks GR

[Henders100]

Sorry if asked before but what equipment are you using? (guitar, mic etc) you get a really clean, clear sound.

Great playing, and thanks.

[ironmonger100]

@Henders100 Hi it's a Washburn C64E ... as for the recording, a friend of mine comes in and does it and the recording spec is listed in my channel notes. Thanks for watching, appreciated :-)

[vinny2256]

Fantastic! You have the best intonation I've seen yet on youtube. I find Queen songs difficult to capture in a 'toned-down' acoustic sort of way as every single note seems so important in conveying the feel of the song. You've done this so well and I've heard new facets and colours of the song that I've previously missed! Queen music has such a permanence don't you think? Every time I hear a song like this, there's something new to be heard! Kind regards.

[ironmonger100]

@vinny2256 Thanks for such a generous comment Vinny ... yes, the credit is all the composer's .. those Queen songs dang near arrange themselves for solo guitar, they have so much substance. Only The Beatles songs come close, IMO. Glad you enjoyed it, hope you can find a moment to listen to my other Queen covers on here. Cheers, Shaun.

[SuperJackRiley]

really nice!

[darizabalo]

Oh Man! Tthas fantastic! I'd love to play your version, did you wrote the score? I'll buy it!

[ironmonger100]

@darizabalo Thankyou, I'm happy you like it ... yes a full score is available please visit shaunmurray . biz

[greenluver05]

BRAVO! You place so gracefully! It looked effortless!

[pricipe5]

Very beatifull song and you have a great job

Continue doing your songs they are amazing

;p

[abotoft]

That was so f&?cking awesome! :-) I have been looking for so long for a fingerstyle-arrangement for this song! Great job!

[ironmonger100]

@abotoft Glad you enjoyed it, thanks :-) .. hope you can find a moment to listen to my other Queen uploads on here

[u16jp758]

great respect.....beautiful and emotional !!

[ironmonger100]

Glad you like it, thanks! :-)

[manunited927]

Wow that was really good. A joy to listen to.

Could u please do "Love of my life"

My Favorite queen song.

[ironmonger100]

Glad you approve, thanks ! Yes I'm up for doing more Queen, will try and do it in the near future

[bohmaniac]

Excellent technique and arrangement. One day I shall be as awesome as you are =)

[ironmonger100]

That's much appreciated Emil thankyou :-)

[pederfi]

Wow, what a performance - you did it again, Shaun. And what a fine sound, a real pleasure.

Cheers

Finn

[Furzyy]

excellent, outdone yourself :)

[BaerchenprinzBln]

Brilliant Shaun. As usual. First I thought it was a Doris Day song by reading the title. Don´t laugh. I didn´t know the song to be honest. Very artistically and entertaining. I like it. Thanks for sharing. André ☺

[ironmonger100]

Thanks for watching Andre ... I don't think I have any Doris Day in my repertoire, beautiful though she was ;-)

[BaerchenprinzBln]

I think the title "Someone to love me". But I mixed it up. I´m getting old..... :-)

[cyberdoomN3t0]

OMG i was totally hypnotized by the sound of it. Truly amazing

[Alex80586]

i would like to see you playng "The great pretender"

[ironmonger100]

I'm up for doing any Queen or Freddie stuff :-)

[CharlieHend]

Great as usual! Thanks so much for giving it to us.

[urbansheepdog]

My goodness Shaun!!!!.... that was awesome!! Your playing really seems to have taken on a whole new dynatism!! Wow! ............. have you been down at the "Crossroads"?? :-)

[ironmonger100]

Hell yeah, so look out for the Motorhead covers next lol :-)))

[TheHornet79]

you get the laydehs dont you.

[freddym223]

perfect !

[ironmonger100]

Glad you approve Freddy :-) Thanks

[Q2K2008]

This, Shaun, blew me away!!!

Especially at 3:17.

You are simply amazing.

You know what you should try making an arrangement out of?

Opeth. But their soft stuff.

You'd be able to play their stuff beautifully.

Like, Hope Leaves, or Face Of Melinda.

I have a list of soft songs but I don't want to annoy you. Lol.

[ironmonger100]

I've never come across Opeth - will check them out now!

[Q2K2008]

Try their Damnation album. It's the most mellow one they have. =]

[BraydonSzafranski]

Why are you telling him to make an arrangement of Opeth? Sheesh. First of all, if he doesn't listen to something off of Damnation, Coil, Benighted, Requiem, For Absent Friends, Harvest, Isolation Years, Atonement, Hours of Wealth, or Burden, he's immediately going to die. Their songs are already arranged as they are to be played or are not possible to arrange. Second of all, most of the melodies you hear in Shaun's arrangements are based upon the vocals; you can't exactly do that with Mikael.

[Q2K2008]

True but it doesn't hurt to introduce people to new music.

Who knows what Shaun is capable of. He's amazing so if he created his OWN arrangement, I think it would be brilliant.

[staffansvahn]

My hat off to you, Sir...

Wonderful rendition and you play with great presence, technique and feeling.

Best wishes

Staffan

[ironmonger100]

Thanks for watching Staffan, and your channel has just blown me away. Bravo

[degasE1]

Shaun, excellent! Wonderful arrangement and exceptional playing! 5's

[orphee10]

very good cover.

[nickbaldeagle01]

Truly excellent.

March Of The Black Queen next...

[pryor68]

Fuckin balla

[Lalitamusic]

You'll never be lonely Shaun as long as your guitar can talk to you like that. Wonderful music, terrific effort.

Love

Lalita

[ironmonger100]

As it happens my new CD is called 'Never Alone' ... so we are thinking along the same lines :-))

[Tomcaster1]

Shaun this arrangement is simply mindblowing. Perfect. Edgar couldn't do it better. I'm already practicing it :-)

[Muzikusmultiensis]

I am running out of words to express how good you are in taking these Queen's classics and making them entirely authentic for classical guitar. BRAVISSIMO!!!

[ironmonger100]

Thanks friend, more Queen to come ..

[bmwpeter]

Very nice! Keep playing!

[ironmonger100]

Ah thanks Mari :-) ... Ash on the train from Melb to Brisb as we speak .. she tells me there are are possums in the trees, and that yesterday she ate kangaroo!! x

[petermichalowski]

AMAZING!!!

[natto2303]

very nice

[Kingpin0072001uk]

Oh wow, you won over my subscription before I even finished watching the video!

And you are a fellow brit too, even more awesome. I live in Dorset, not too far away from you, I visit Kent a lot to see family though.

I would love to know the trick to working out songs by ear and arranging them yourself. I don't even know where to start :( I play electric guitar though got a couple vids up.

[ironmonger100]

Thanks, glad you liked it. As for arranging songs, I was lucky enough to get some really good harmony/ear training as part of my school music education in the early 70s and that has enabled me to make arrangements such as this.

[darthsoadfan19]

Amazing...keep the Queen videos coming!

[johnrod724]

This song means a lot to me. Excelente!

[Nextgengamer32]

Amazing work as usual! :D

[Qpidon]

I rated this video 5 minutes after it was viewable..but I was speachless as to leave a comment.... what can one say after hearing this???

[chamacojesus]

Speechless. It hardly compares only to Edgar Cruz and his "Bohemian Rhapsody" . I've never seen in YT an arrangement with this quality, my friend. I'm impressed. Hugs, mate.

[Qpidon]

well put, Jesus.

[ironmonger100]

Thanks Jesus, I'm honoured by the comparison but Sir Edgar is The Man!

Have a great week my friend :-)

[abhikmazumder]

Superb arrangement and guiatr playing! Really enjoyed this one.

[richonfen]

I was hoping for some Queen songs!Thank you very much! Greeting from Argentina.

[Luknopfler83]

Fabulous, amazing, awesome! I'm a huge fan of Queen and I'm now a huge fan of your covers!

[Henders100]

Awesome as usual. I wish I was able to work out songs like this.

[oldwhtman]

Excellent work, Shaun. And thanks for making the tab available. I need to add this to my collection. I may even try to play it someday ... when (if) my skills improve.

[Shaiway]

Fantastic ! I love your Queen's arrangement !

[cebfolk]

very nice arrangement, well played shaun! 5*****

[HanzP]

Very nice arrangement, Shaun! Awesome playing as always!

It was a pleasure to listen! 5*

Cheers, Hanz

[jreichbart]

That's it, now you've done it!! (the sound you are hearing is that of my guitars being smashed up). Seriously, this is a Nobel prize winning arrangement all the way. You got all the nuances of the song played so nicely I am speechless. *****

[ironmonger100]

Thanks Jake ... I'm speechless too after that! ..

[1Freeman]

Most awesome

[sguitar]

Really nice playing!! Sounds great! Sarah :-)
