1. The immortal Hilton Valentine, that guitar riff will never die.

2. The original ❤

3. With all due respect, this tutorial is wrong, mainly as far as the D and the F chord are concerned. If you listen carefully, the fast downpicks are played in the first 3 strings and he just repeats the first string to start his way up. Also, if you watch him play, he alternate picks his way up in every chord, rather than using only upstrokes. In the 83' live though, he plays up-down-down. The downstroke on the B string on the way up is what gives the riff that aggressive character imo.

4. ❤I love that song 🎵 ❤

12. This old fuddy duddy needs to hang it up. His days with Queen or anybody else are long gone. This is a fabulous, unforgettable intro for sure. But it ain’t as hard to figure out as he makes it seem. I had a garage band when I was 15 in 1965. I figured it out in 15 minutes and I was nothing on the guitar. Also, I thought Jimmy Page played on all of the sessions of the hits? Where was Jimmy when Hilton played this classic? Jimmy couldn’t have cut it. That’s why he wasn’t on the session.

13. 🎸🎵🎶

14. Multi talented

15. We need to protect this man at all costs

16. Rough is a brilliant description of the impact of Hilton's riff.
    This song will literally live until the end of time.
    It's roughness is what reached into your soul via your ears and gave it it's immortality. You did not just hear this song,……
    You felt it.
    Way to go Brian, you nailed the soul of this masterful piece of music.
    Rest in peace Hilton, Dave and Chaz.
    Your music and talent is forever burned into our collective minds, hearts and souls.

20. GRAZIE MILLE PER BUONA MUSICA YOUTUBE BUONA GIORNATA AMICI MIEI

21. If this mad space scientist ever became a musician he would have a nice careers

22. Эту песню я помню я ее слушала только не помню кто иснолняет она мне нравилась я не знаю о чем она

23. Excelente👍🏻👍🏻🎉🎉👑🥰🌹Dr Brian, me gustó esa tonada con la guitarra eléctrica. The animal.😉

24. The only song I ever learned to play on guitar.

25. What memories! A friend and I sang it in a junior high talent show, but with acoustic guitars and we won. Not sure if we were that good or just an oddity because we were two girls playing guitars in the 60's! Never was good enough to justify the expense of an electric guitar. Could have used a Harold and Brian May to build me one but unfortunately we were on opposite sides of the pond!

26. I loved The House of the Rising Sun the minute l heard it. I'm sorry to hear of the death of one of the band members

27. One sound sounds wrong – quite at the end of the opening – but – it's ok. I love house of he rising sun, have come to know it in the seventies, when I was a teenager. Thank you for all that interesting information. I was 3 when it came out.

28. Fantastic Brian !! i m not sure when the song stands in e major 2 times if Hilton plays the open g string like the other chords, to me it does sound a g sharp keep the normal e major ( not open g )sorry for my english

29. Newcastle man, not the North.

30. The band Queen even made a version of this song in the 80's?

31. Houve oh rising sun, The beautiful music…. CLASSIC….

32. Joan Baez sang this, I think it was actually written for a woman working in a brothel.

33. Probably the only one qualified to play this little ditty.

34. Geez…Brian, if that whole astro-physics thing doesn't work out, you could probably get work in a band! 😉

35. I think Brian May could make smile popular by himself

36. Beautiful notes!

37. I have bohemian rhapsody on DVD and
    The live concert and the album
