Brian May Harmonizing - How?
Just wondering if anyone knows what intervals are used for his solos, if there are any particular ones favoured.
Cheers!

Anything Radiohead or SRV. Oh yes
If I recall correctly rather than real-time harmonising it was delay - so he plays over himself 2 or 3 times - so if you listen and copy where he goes with a correctly set delay pedal you can kind of follow it.
which doesn't help much but there you are
Red ones are better.
Listening to his studio stuff, he tends to vary between diatonic intervals in close harmony to having some notes pedalled.
Listen to the parts in Killer Queen - they stay together making the parts sound chordal, then start to drift, then eventually split apart almost in a call and response style.

Boilerplate caveat:
Of course its "...in my opinion"
Do what sounds good

Re: Brian May Harmonizing - How?
From what I've heard, it's standard diatonic harmony. It sounds like Brian has a good grounding in four-part writing... check out the complete Killer Queen arrangement if you can.Originally Posted by cosmicspoon
