Leaving Home Ain't Easy - Queen - Guitar

Here's one of my favorite Brian May songs -- Leaving Home Ain't Easy. It's off of Queen's 1978 Jazz Album. It's written and sung by Brian May.

There are a few funky chords in it -- but those cool sounds make it really fun to play.

As with all my videos -- please disregard the vocals. They are there to help me pace the guitar part.

Its so beautiful ! I didn't know it was Brian singing!

Is that a Queen songbook you have there ?

I'm looking for one everywhere.. Any idead where I can get it ?

[BaddGuitar]

Yes - I bought this songbook back in 1986 - and have almost worn it out. It includes every song up to and including The Works. Not tab - basic stuff, but enough to get started. It's called: Queen The Complete Works. There is an updated one that also includes A Kind of Magic. You can buy it used. Just google ISBN 861753550.

Thanks!

I ordered it on Amazon. Are there the chords to the songs ?

[BaddGuitar]

Yes but chord names only. No tab or chord diagrams. Still a great book to have.

have you ever thought about listening and learning from the original queen version and compering that to this book your learning from . i think youll find that learning from  from the original track the chords will be more correct than any tab book

[peteski90]

would you be able to post the chords by any chance or send them to me. I have most of it figured out from watching you but missing a few. It would be greatly appreciated, well done by the way.
