    Artist: Queen
    Album: A Kind Of Magic (1986)
    Original Bass Player: John Deacon
    Bass: Steinberger XP-2
    Strings: D'Addario ESXL170 Nickel Wound Double Ball-End .45 .65 .80 .100

    "A Kind of Magic" was written by Taylor. He has admitted writing down some lyrics, which proved to be the basis for both "One Vision" and "A Kind of Magic", something made obvious by the demo of the song appearing for the first time on the 2011 Universal Bonus EP, which mixes some lyrics. Later on, unbeknown to Taylor who was off to the US for a few days, Mercury took it over, "polished" the lyrics, added the bassline, some connectors and re-arranged the structure. Regardless, the new, more pop oriented version was still credited to Taylor. It was this version that was featured on the album, released as a single and included their auxiliary live musician, Spike Edney, playing some keyboards. The heavier, rockier alternate version, also making its official debut on the 2011 Universal Bonus EP, played during the credits of Highlander. The song was covered by Elaine Paige in 1988 on her album called The Queen Album.

    I feel like John Deacon never gets the credit he deserves for writing some incredible bass lines. Just so rhythmic and his little bass dance. Miss seeing what he really brought to the stage.
    Your covers are insanely good and the effort put forth is astounding. Good job thanks.

    Another great cover Constantine! You naturally know when to alter between single digit plucking and alternating. Which adds to getting the sound and feel of John Deacon perfectly. Very nice compact fretting too (as always).
