Song: I Want It All
Artist: Queen
Tabbed By: bmchrestoff (March 4, 2017 to March 29, 2017)
IMPORTANT PERFORMANCE NOTES: 1) I just couldn't stand it any longer that one of my Top 10 Queen
songs did not have at least ONE correct tab on UG
2) This version is from the Original Release Of Queen's "The Miracle"
and jumps right into Brian May's Power Chord Punch rather than
the later Single Version which opens w/ the Acapella "I Want It All
and I Want It Now" vocals
3) The trick to correctly playing this song is to simply lift your
Index Finger up off the "A" string to get the required Bm7/A chord
when holding the opening Bm chord. It is not an "A" chord but instead
a Bm7/A chord. You must also perform a quick Hammer-on and Pull-Off
at the 2nd fret on the open "A" string w/ your Index Finger that
is anchoring that Bm Chord before moving on to the G5 and D/F#
4) I did not tab the "Fast" Guitar #2 solo but instead layed out the general
chord progression which ends on a cool A/G chord
