What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Queen catalog focus
Deacon's lines are melodic and often countermelodies rather than root notes, so this is real technical practice.
Detail 03
Songbook, not a method
You learn by playing repertoire. There are no graded exercises building toward the harder material.
Detail 04
$22.99
Priced like a full-length artist collection rather than a single-song sheet.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01No audio or backing tracks included — you supply the recordings
- 02Bass part only, so band rehearsal needs the other charts elsewhere
- 03Some lines sit high on the neck and need a clean setup
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Who played bass on these?
John Deacon, Queen's bassist. His parts are known for being melodic and moving independently of the guitar rather than just following the root.
02Is this in tab or standard notation?
It is a bass transcription collection from Hal Leonard covering the bass parts to Queen songs.
03Can I use this on a five-string?
Yes. The parts were written for four-string, so nothing requires the low B, but a five-string covers all of it.
04Is this too hard for a beginner?
Some of it is. The lines move quickly and cover a lot of the neck, so expect to work up to the harder songs.
