Strong match

Who this is for

  • Pianists who read notation and sing along
  • Duo setups where guitar comps from chord symbols

Consider the trade-offs

When to look elsewhere

  • Guitarists wanting note-for-note tab of Brian May parts
  • Beginners not yet reading two-hand piano notation
  • Anyone needing exact studio arrangements

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 01

Piano/Vocal/Guitar arrangement

Piano staff, a vocal melody line with lyrics, and guitar chord symbols above. Three parts, one book.

Detail 02

Guitar covered by chord symbols only

Guitarists strum letter-name chords. No tab, no solos, no riffs written out.

Detail 03

Arranged, not transcribed

Parts are condensed for two hands at a piano, not a note-for-note copy of the record.

Detail 04

"Best Of" collection

A publisher-selected cross-section rather than a single album, so track choice is not yours.

Detail 05

Notation-based book

You need to read a treble and bass staff. Chord-only players will use maybe a third of the page.

  1. 01Printed book only. No audio, backing tracks or download included

Product questions

Before you decide

Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.

01Does it have guitar tab?

No. Guitar is covered by chord symbols above the staff. If you want Brian May's parts written out, you need a guitar-specific transcription book.

02Can a beginner pianist play these?

You need to read both staves comfortably. Piano/vocal/guitar arrangements sit at roughly intermediate level, not first-year.

03Does it include a CD or downloadable audio?

No. This is a print songbook with no accompanying audio.

04Are the songs in the original keys?

Not necessarily. Piano/vocal/guitar editions are often adjusted for easier singing and playing, so keys can differ from the recordings.
