Yes, it's all guitar all those instruments. That was a little fetish of mine.

It is one of the band's best known songs. [5] [6] The song is formed around an open bluesy, metallic guitar tuning, and opens with its chorus. [7] It was one of the few Queen songs played in an alternative guitar tuning. [8] The song's music video was filmed at the Dallas Convention Center in Texas in October 1978. [9]
The idea for the song came from Freddie Mercury and John Deacon, who wrote the basic chord structure for the song. All four contributed to the lyrics and musical ideas, and the song was still credited to the entire band because they had agreed to do so during the album recording, regardless of who had been the actual writer.
Mercury wrote it on the piano and guitar first, and May rearranged the song for acoustic 12-string guitar for live performances, also lowering the key by a minor third. May contributed occasional guitar phrases to the original recording and played the swooping harp glissandos by pasting together multiple takes of single chords.
