It’s an amazing song and I keep finding things that make me realize what a genius and incredible musician and performer Freddie Mercury was. Thank you!
I like the connections to other songs. Instead of the usual drama of "who copied who first". There will be aesthetic similarities between songs because it's effective. It doesn't matter who got to it first.
Maravilhosa abordagem que mostrada grandes fundamentos na forma como eles eram influência dos pela música mundial, o que fazia deles grandes artistas em todos os quesitos. Obrigado por esse cirúrgico trabalho.
Thanks again helping my fight against not doing music because it's silly and childish. It looks like a new format with every new video and a constant awareness on how to best communicate the subject at hand. You are a fantastic teacher. 1:58 Didn't know the Stravinsky lick, but I only hear the opening line from 'La Vie En Rose' ;-) haven't check the score though! Thanks
I would watch an infinite number of videos like this. (And for what it's worth, I know you have to be careful about devaluing your product, but I do think you should consider including a bit of what the PDF **looks like** in the video itself... because I **think** such a document would be worth three bucks to me, but just a moment ago, when I was looking at the final payment form, the fact that I didnt have a clear sense of the contents / quality of what I was purchasing was ultimately enough to turn me off from buying it.) (To be clear: I'm obviously assuming it's gonna be 'good,' because you've clearly put a lot of effort into this analysis... but, like: How long is the manuscript? How much of it is longform written analysis; annotated sheets; illustrated theory abstractions; etc.? Maybe you could include some screencaps or a scroll-thru, wherein all of the valuable specifics have been blurred out or redacted with black highlighting...? Sumthin.' In any case, I'm definitely in the demographic for such a purchase; I'd just need a bit more information about it before diving in.) (Also: See my initial comment. Great work.)
Interesting video, man! On an unrelated note, and through vastly less rigorous analysis, I discovered that playing the first part ("A" section) of "Deck The Halls" over the Jeopardy theme works very nicely. Try it.
Not discounting your work or analysis...but half of these similarities seem like...staples of popular music or at least somewhat contrived. Like vamping I and V...man I can't think of ANY pieces that use those chords. That said, I had no idea that Queen's vocal harmonies were this spicy. Very cool. So sorry for sounding llike an asshole
It's funny - recently I've started appreciating We Are the Champions a lot more, noticing much of the harmonic analysis pointed out in this video, but without really knowing the harmonic analysis (if that makes sense). Then this video comes along and fills in all the dots for me. Really cool.
Jazz Duets ua-cam.com/video/kohkfSQoex4/v-deo.html it used to be hard to find because the album titles were in French. It’s from a solo guitar live album he did. I’m fairly sure most of it is just Bireli making stuff up as he goes along. It would be interesting to know if he catches some of the harmonic subtlety you highlight here! Great videos btw
Not even the great mozart was absolutely original in his works. Every great composer knew how to synthesize the best of his predecessors, consciously or unconsciously. So we must give merit to the greats of the past, but RECOGNIZE, the genius of modern creators. That certainly always give work and sustenance to analysts and critics.
When I hear him sing "WE are the CHAMPions" in the chorus, it sounds to me like the playground taunt, "NAH nah nah NAH nah". I wonder if this was intentional?
I can easily notice that you’re a Jazz musician. The intro image IS NOT a Queen picture. That’s the Argentinian tribute band “Dios Salve a la Reina” hahaha.
Il y a malheureusement un bémol à vôtre savoir faire hors norme en pédagogie: Pourquoi vous n'arrivez pas à pondre un "hit" planétaire par an!??Par exemple tel que put the fire in the rain de Adèle.
@@JazzDuets I thought I had read somewhere that he once stated he was not really that great in music theory; could it be that he just had great composing inspiration without understanding all these theoretical details?
For the love of fuck, we don't give a crap what other songs may or may not be similar to We Are the Champions. This ain't a jazz/harmony analysis, this is just bullshit. Seriously, a I-V7 in minor warrants a bajillion comparisons to Alicia Keys and whatnot?
It’s an amazing song and I keep finding things that make me realize what a genius and incredible musician and performer Freddie Mercury was. Thank you!
me too!
You have no idea how much this is helping me progress in my musical studies. I learn more from your videos than at university thank you

great artists call it 'inspiration', great lawyers call it 'theft'
@@j.s.m.5351 Great lawyers know how to make money!
I really like the Ebadd9#11/G and the Gm9b5/E, sounds amazing.
Wow. You put in a lot of work here. Thank you.
This song was so masterfully written that all of this flows so naturally
Excellent,please do more like this.Thank you.
I respect this channel so much you do not only teach but you guys know music history and I’m learning alot 😊🙏
This is gonna be good...
hope so!
@@JazzDuets oh it definitely was. Thanks for the reply
You never cease to amaze me! What an intricately detailed analysis of a very complicated song. Thank you!
so gooooood!!!

yes! La Vie en Rose! That was in my notes, but Stravinsky is closer
the best always, I love your Videos
Wow what an amazing video!
I'm impressed
Thank you for making this! I hope to see more song analyses from you :D
Amazing video! Well done and thank you!
Fabulous analysis. 👏
I wonder if he saw Lucas Michaelidis version first?
Excelente trabajo, me encantó. Felicitaciones y saludos desde Tucumán, Argentina!!
gracias hno!
Awesome stuff !
Amazing, like all your videos. Saludos y buen comienzo de año.
Wow! Respect
increible video. muy buen trabajo! felicitaciones!
Saludos!.
Another song that uses the G- to C- is Long Chain by Peter, Paul and Mary
super !
Amazing video as usual! I believe that Eagle's "Wasted time" uses the same chord progression as the standard That you mention there "tenderly"

Birelli Lagrene did a great solo version of this tune
cannot find it. would LOVE to hear this!

Any platforms besides patreon?

Great video, Stravinsky is perhaps my all time favourite BUT 😅 that theme is not his, it's a Folk tune that he borrowed for his Rite of Spring 🌱🌼❤
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
🎷🎹👑🕺
Did you know that Freddy was a genius?
I can easily notice that you’re a Jazz musician. The intro image IS NOT a Queen picture. That’s the Argentinian tribute band “Dios Salve a la Reina” hahaha.
bien hecho! haha.
this song also reminds me a lot of my way by frank sinatra
👏👏👏👏👏👏👐👐👐👐👐🙌🙌🙌🙌
Obrigado grande músico. Lhe convido a conhecer meus trabalhos no spotify. CD Camaleão 3.
I will! I already have seen many of your videos, and tried to contact you by facebook 2 or 3 years ago when I first became aware of you.

Copying to the old songs and masterpieces. Equal = "We are the Champions".
I don’t see Freddie listening all those songs and copying each part of every song.
Me neither, not consciously. But even geniuses like him learn, absorb the language of music from what they have heard or been exposed to.
@@JazzDuets I thought I had read somewhere that he once stated he was not really that great in music theory; could it be that he just had great composing inspiration without understanding all these theoretical details?
Stono kazu Alal vera!
The pan going back and forth at the beginning of the video is a really bad effect. It is not only annoying but distracting and almost painful.
