Extreme – Queen Medley tab

QUEEN MEDLEY....
FROM THE FREDDIE MERCURY TRIBUTE ALBUM 
AS PERFORMED BY EXTREME

notes: Im a huge queen fan an a bassist at that...noticed that no one
       has done a tab for the Extreme medley done at the Freddie Mercury
       Tribute concert....odd!  This isnt note for note of what Nuno and
       co do, it's the tabs from Queen songs all pasted together...its 
       also not the exact version...my band does champions instead of 
       radio ga ga at the end....youd have to swap to a fretless bass to 
       that good John Deacon sliding sound.
       For the most precise Queen sound i suggest the guitarist uses a 
       sixpence for a pick!
       The Bass version will be available soon as soon as i tab it out!
       thanks and enjoy!

         HIT IT!
