Favourited

[DMcFed]

I mean, if you're gonna cover the best Queen song of all time, then you better do it right. This is amazing.

[ironmonger100]

@DMcFed That's kind, thanks so much - happy you liked my version :-)

[misslantana52]

Your cover is amazing and it leaves me with a smile! : )

[ironmonger100]

@misslantana52 Glad I make you smile :-)

[Jonat300]

Just one word... WOW !

[ironmonger100]

@Jonat300 I guess you enjoyed it :-) Thankyou ..

[manucloud]

awesome, gj

[ironmonger100]

@manucloud Thanks GJ, glad you liked my take on this one :-)

[Frankieseshy]

Never been more jealous in my life, I'm so blown away!! 0_0

[anahmi]

WOW.....

[ironmonger100]

@anahmi Thanks for the WOW :-) ...glad you liked it

[BlazeSGMN7]

Totally awesome! I play fingerstyle similar to yours, but on a steel string. It is a bit hard to control. I'm considering switching to nylon after watching this, but I haven't tried out many good nylon string guitars. What kind of guitar is it you're using in this video? It sounds very nice.

[ironmonger100]

@BlazeSGMN7 Thx 4 watching & commenting. Yeh, I find steel strings hard to control. They sustain forever, which is why a lot of players prefer them I think, but 4 me that just makes the control harder. The one I'm playing here is a low-priced Washburn (£300) fitted with Matrix Infinity pickup, which amplifies well - far better than the factory one, which I replaced after 10 years. With gut strungs it really is about trying one until u find the right one, in terms of playability, tone + budget.

[HungryMocha]

Hey all the manager's out there, this is what being a boss is like.

Take notes

[juanmaria198426]

me gusta mucho como el toca el tema.,,. i would like how he plays the guittas ,.., estaria bueno que muestre el pentagrama o la tablatura asai la tocamos todos,.,. it will be rigth if he give us the tablature or the composition,.,. :-)

[ironmonger100]

@juanmaria198426 Thanks, glad you enjoyed it :-) ... details of all my tablatures are at shaunmurray. biz

[fyrstikknerd]

Very well played. I don't know how to describe it, but it's just a very smooth performance and I thought it sounded awesome on nylon strings!

[mateuszgwozdz]

I'd love to get this song in good quality, maybe on fresh steel strings too... I must say, it is very good (liked it, favorited it, shared it, commented ;) )

[ironmonger100]

@mateuszgwozdz Thanks, glad you enjoyed my version .. It would sound different on steel strings for sure but I almost certainly wouldn't do it justice .. I find them a little more difficult to control, but yes I bet there's a great steel string version out there waiting to be done.

[Muzikusmultiensis]

The more I listen to your guitar playing, the more I am convinced that you are world class musician. This piece is just phenomenal.

[bestadabest]

what tuning?

[ironmonger100]

@bestadabest standard

[ajpoopieschitz]

honestly one of my favorite videos on youtube. thank you for letting me experience this whenever i want to.

[Ownography]

OMG I ACTUALLY MISSED THE LIKE BAR BECAUSE I GOT DISTRACTED BY THE EPICNESS!! D:

[ironmonger100]

@sw3210 ..Thanks :-) it's great fun to play, actually - especially the rocky, faster sections

[Boom0oBox]

is there a chance you can make a guitar pro file of this?

[ironmonger100]

@Boom0oBox ..I only have Sibelius software, sorry :-(

[AlexKud0691]

 Best Queen arragement and perfomance for guitar I've ever heard. Thumbs up!

[evaspiru]

Because I want to learn to play the guitar give me an answer to:evaspirudakas@yahoo.com

[evaspiru]

From what country you come from?

[danbs07]

may I ask what key you play this in? Did you stick to F Major?

[Rafaaaaeeeel]

ES ud LO MAXIMO MAESTRO

[BobsArtGallery]

Fantastic...Thanks for sharing.

[salvorhardim]

ironmonger, congratulations . ur my new idol. Where are you from?

[ironmonger100]

@salvorhardim ..wow thanks. I'm from Gillingham, Kent, England

[earsoup]

great work mate !

[GuitarStrummer2k10]

this is truely outstanding work ! sounds brilliant

[transuk68]

Do you do requests? Is there a youtube of you doing 'Classical Gas'?

[ironmonger100]

@transuk68 ..Hi - probably not, there are loads of versions of it already posted, I'm trying to do songs which have rarely been covered, if at all. thanks though.

[transuk68]

@ironmonger100 what about 'Maple leaf Rag'? I've not heard a good guitar version of it on youtube...yet (maybe it's not suited to the guitar and sorry to go on)

[ironmonger100]

@transuk68 ..hi, thanks for that - Ragtime is a great style for guitar, and there are quite a few versions of Maple Leaf Rag around. I play The Entertainer in my live shows sometimes :-)

[Driimweever]

@ironmonger100

Hey Ironmonger! I've been studying your excellent tabs for this song. While I know you don't take requests, I'm sure you wouldn't mind (yet another!) suggestion: Kashmir by Led Zeppelin. I have yet to see a classical guitar version. Though, granted, it's more suited to violin, I'm sure you can manage it. And you might be among the first to do it. And it's a great tune and I'm sure many would love to buy the tabs for it. I know I would.

Thanks and keep up the fantastic work!

[ace2044]

absolutely amazing man, immense skillz

[dekaOsiris]

WOW - very impressed, Freddie is smiling down on you right now :)

[bempa93]

Awesome, subscribed.

[wasup510]

dear god that solo was epic

[Driimweever]

Absolutely outstanding!! I suggested this before, but once again, I urge to make a DVD explaining step by step how to us simpletons how to play this and other rock favorites classical style. I know there are copyright issues, but by golly you would make a fortune. And deservedly so!! Some more Queen, Led Zeppelin (stairway to Heaven, Kashmir) would be my suggestions. But just about anything would sell.

Good Luck!!

[ironmonger100]

@Driimweever ..wow, thanks for such kind comments, pleased you like my stuff. I will def look into DVD production ... Some new Queen covers going on soon, keep watching! :-)

[dasbigl]

Outstanding

[brendanhelsham]

Sensational, one of my favourite Queen songs. Thoroughly entertaining.

[ironmonger100]

@brendanhelsham Thanks friend, glad you like dit. Some more Queen covers going on here soon.

[nick13108126]

the time it would take me to learn that i think my mrs would disown me but if i could play it she would be all over me lol

[ironmonger100]

@nick13108126 Haha - I have no mrs to worry about :-))

[dsp128]

Another superb rendition. I'm going to download all these and burn to dvd. :-)

[gonzalorojas93]

JAW

[juanannorris]

Just one word: Amazing

[Wtsmyageagain]

You represent what part of me wants to be able to achieve one day, this fluid mastery of the guitar.

[AndreFratelli]

Most definitely the best version I've seen! Would it be possible to get this tab?

[kwaterny]

[pederfi]

Five stars and thumbs up.Your chops are incredible. I think I have a couple of guitars for sale-:)

Cheers

Finn

[Gangly1]

Super talent Shaun.

I keep expecting Freddie to make an appearance from behind the settee!

Could listen to this all day. In fact, I may just do that.

Cheers,

Paul

[ironmonger100]

The only thing behind my settee is dust, and possibly some rancid pizza but the thought of Freddie emerging from there is causing much hilarity here :-))) Glad you like the vid Paul, cheers.

[Gangly1]

In which case he simply has to appear...to vac-up in his stockings and suspenders!!

Wrong song I know, but the image has me laughing now!!

[ironmonger100]

Hilarious!! I'll never be able this song again now.. thanks! If my legendary stone face cracks my reputation will be knackered forever.

[BaerchenprinzBln]

This is great. Virtuosly played. It´s not as hectical as the original, which I actually like too. Excellent Shaun. Isn´t it a beautiful melody? I love it. Thanks for sharing. You have 3 Cd´s out? Wow. I´ve just read the channel info. Cheers André :-)

[ironmonger100]

Thanks Andre :-) ... yes, always plenty of substance in those Queen songs. You should make a CD ... I see many of your subscribers are asking for this!! Have a fine weekend my friend.

[BaerchenprinzBln]

Ah, they´re just asking because I´ve mentioned it. But it´s not so easy, as I´m not a musician and I want it to be good. We´ll see. I´ll let you know, when I´m finished. :-)

[natto2303]

really nice, very beautiful

[UltimateToronto]

YES! You keep picking all my favorite Queen singles, and I'm loving every second of it. You are the MAN.

[basix4]

Shaun, this is brilliant. Very well played and a credit to your great skill!!!

[ironmonger100]

Thanks Matt - appreciated .... have messaged you in RS forum..

[basix4]

No messages there Shawn. Maybe try again?

[carlosbaezz]

Wow! Great song! Excellent!!

Best regard from Chile

[MrRanosama]

Hahaa!!! I've been waiting for you to do this song! Absolutely love the song and love your playing. Sweet!!

[freddym223]

flawless playing as usual ! and so musical !

[jnclassicalguitarist]

Fantastic, Shaun! We missed you!

[josiphorus]

Virtuoso skills man! Congrats!

[urbansheepdog]

Got this one 'faved' now Shaun. It really is a fantastically played piece with lots of light and dark shades, harmonics, bends, chromatic runs.... love it! The right hand's fantastic as well.

And most importantly of all!..................... you've trimmed those ruddy 'rat-tails' of the end of the strings at last! LOL! ;-)

[ironmonger100]

Ha, I did that just for you ;-) ... I'll buy a lottery ticket tomorrow and if I win I'll engage a guitar tech to put my strings on properly!! Glad you liked the vid :-) Have a great wkend .

[darthsoadfan19]

Wow...I think Queen would be truly proud of this :) This is some intense stuff. Loving every bit of it, keep 'em coming!

[Dante181278]

you are a really virtuos music man , Te mando un saludo desde Mexico =)

[Henders100]

Nice to see a new video from you. One of the most lively songs by Queen, good job!

[ironmonger100]

Thanks Henders, yes it's a great song alright - especially for those like myself who are stuck in the 70s :-))))

[ArjanAJ]

Hey good old Ironmonger is back. Nice to see a new song, well played! :)

Your guitar looks like mine, is that a Martinez?

[Luknopfler83]

Amazing cover! Ohhhh, I'm burning through the skies yeah, 200 degrees, that's why they call me mister Fahrenheit... I'm probably going to sing this song all night! ;)

[Heronymusic]

Awesome Shaun! Played like a master! Cheers Jeroen

[ironmonger100]

Such a comment from a master like yourself is very humbling, thankyou for watching Jeroen, and for taking the time to comment. have a great weekend.

[Pleiadiansoul]

This Is sick! Amazing! Thank you!!!

[bch1234]

This was amazing !!!!!!!

1000 stars to you.

Smile from Anne Mari

[KarloR27]

Great I'm not surprised as many musicians play queen songs and then being played on instruments as they were the biggest rock band of all time. Don't stop yourself now I'm sure you're having a good time playing it!

[ironmonger100]

Thanks Karl. Yes, such great songs, and each Brian May solo an absolute gem. Cheers for commenting :-)

[Muzikusmultiensis]

You did it again! Simply flawless and magnificent! I just hope that you are making living with your music. Because If guitarist like you can't, who can?

[MagicAccent]

Like I've always said: Who the heck needs a whole band when all you need is a single guitar?

Sweet playing :)

[ironmonger100]

Yes I agree, I don't think there's much that can't be done with just six strings and your fingers! Thanks for taking the time to watch :-)

[abhikmazumder]

Shaun, it is so nice to have a video from you after such a long time. That was a superb arrangement and awesome playing. I particularly liked the last 30 seconds where you slowed down to the original theme. It was played with so much feeling! BTW, where are the candles?

[ultimateof]

Wow~

I loved it~

I thing that I have to practice it!!!

[newcastlemusic]

Amazing.

I watch and enjoy your videos all the time but rarely comment. This one is extraordinary. Congratulations.

[nickbaldeagle01]

Edgar Cruz is gonna be a worried man...

[ironmonger100]

Hey Nick, what a compliment, thanks. But I take my hat off to the master of Queen songs, Sir Edgar.

[MrStuClark]

Hey absolutely superb Shaun.

I played around with this one but didn't get too far.But then we do have similar interests musically.Can't wait for the next time we can do a gig together again.

Best Wishes

Stu Clark

[ironmonger100]

Hi Stu, thanks mate, it's a great song for us arrangers/pickers! Hope to see you soon. ... And for anybody else reading this, go to Stu's channel right now and watch his Bo Rhap. He's even done a bluegrass version. I kid you not. Go on, watch it now!

[ericdrijvergitarist]

I loved it, great arrangement. Man, you can play!!

I faved it!!!!

[bohmaniac]

That is skills. Great arrangement as well

[rootsproductions808]

finally another vid! i been waiting too lon for another one! another great cover!

[urbansheepdog]

Wow! Shaun that's a 'show stopper!'

BTW, is that sunshine bursting through the windows there?? ......... I remember sunshine! :-)

[ironmonger100]

Glad you liked it! And yes, it is indeed sunshine - most welcome it was too after my new year in frosty Finland!

[Shaiway]

Great !!!

[ukulelenwelt]

Great Job!

[johnthobden]

Fantastic, I may have said this before, You have got to be the best. I enjoyed it so much. Thank you, John.

[chamacojesus]

Oh my God, who wants to stop you now, mate? Go on, Shaun, for Goodness Sake, go on!!! What a fantastic tune, and what an outstanding arrangement!. I could be listening to it for hours. A big hug, my friend, incredible job.

[ukulelenwelt]

Brilliant!

[ratemyshi92]

ohhh i know this is gonna be good

[jreichbart]

I'm dancing here! Shaun, you're the only solo guitarist out there qualified to do Queen (and many others too, of course!), you have captured their spirit. Love those bluesy bends on the nylon, the counterpoint, the groove.... *****!

[ironmonger100]

If I made Jake Reichbart dance, hell I must be doing something right! Thanks my friend.

[natto2303]

very nice

[cebfolk]

very nice shaun! I have watched most of your videos and as usual beautiful music from you! 5*****

[Bigturns33]

O man great one. Queen one of my all time favorite bands.

[ironmonger100]

Hi Adam, thanks for that - look out for more Queen in the very near future!

[Lalitamusic]

Well Shaun, I'm not about to stop you :-} Another terrific piece played with passion. I love your clips. But I missed one thing with this one: your signature! You still get lots of stars from me just the same.

Love

Lalita

[ironmonger100]

Ah thanks Lalita, I'm pleased you and I are able to appreciate each other's music .. and thanks for being the first to comment on this one. My signature? I guess you mean the candles? Well, the sun was shining on that day so who needs candles? Have a great day :-)
