Another One Bites the Dust, by Queen
(John Deacon) off the 1980 album, "The Game."
Grammy award for best cross-over record, thanks to the bass riff stolen/
loaned/ borrowed/
influenced by Chic's "Good Times."
Anyway, here is the intro riff, and the primary verse riff:
G---------------------------
D---------------------------
A---------------------------
E-53-0-0-0--00-0-3-5
This is played throughout the song, about a million times.
the second riff (pre-chorus) is:
G----------------------------------------------------------------------
D--------------5-----------------------------------5------------------
A-3-3--3-45------3-3--3-45-----3-3--3-45--------------------
E---------------3-----------------3-----------------3--5-5--5-67-
ready. . . hanging. . . outta. . . . to the. . .
Play riff 1 here, 3 times, then play the following bit:
G-------------------
D-------------------
A-------------------
E-2---765-5---2
Hey gonna. . .
During the instrumental break, riff 1 is played a few times, but in
concert, John Deacon plays the
below riff, while Brian May improvises all over the D-scale.
G-----------------
D-----------------
A-----------------
E-0-2-3-2-0-0
He alternates back and forth between that and riff 1 for the solo, then
returns to the verse.
Good plucking!
