Arrangement by Edgar Cruz - from his Queen for Fingerstyle Guitar DVD. I'm not claiming to be a virtuoso - I'm just showing off Edgar's work. The magic is in the arrangement.
Well this is the Edgar Cruz version. He's the one who created the finger style. You should check him out. This guy should accredit Edgar Cruz for creating this guitar version.
It's been years. I remember when the top comment was "I like your TV" because wide screen flat TVs were a new thing back then... It's been so long... I wonder if that plant got bigger. I wonder if you've been well. I still love to hear this played by you, with every imperfection, every missed tempo. So unique. Thank you!
I think I saw this video for the first time shortly after its release. Then, one day, I was not able to find it back. Thought it was removed for copyrights reasons. And today, I just remembered this video and how good it was and wondered whether it would have been put back online. And HERE IT IS :) Just as amazing as I remembered it. It just made my day, it's undoubtedly one of the best vids on UA-cam.
Your sense of touch and skill with separate voicings, as a guitarist, are excellent, in general. But this piece is magnificent . You project the emotional aspects/ mood changes of this melancholy and energizing song with intensity and sensitivity. And you conclude with a celebratory exhale that is not-pretentious or cheesy. You're like a whole Queen ensemble there. Thank you! Regards
Still the best! Effordless. I can't believe Steve Bean has passed you in viewings. He has no rithm, doesn't hit every note and I hear a lot of hissing and cracking when he plays. Also Cruz (we of course thank him for the arrangement) plays way too scruffy. Your performance has inspired me to study this piece.
+topneorej Agreed but i think it has to do with the poor audioquality on the video, would blow me away even more if this was in hq ohwell that's what my own guitar is for :)
+HaZeEurope91 Still I would like to see one of the real virtuoso's show what they can do with this piece. Maybe a good flamengo artist. Or someone like Ana Vidovic.
+XR32Y First I tried to get it for free, but it is well protected, so I just bought it. Not cheap, but you'll have months of fun practicing and years of fun performing:-)
don't listen to topneorej, there is a free guitarlesson with the exact same tab as this cover has, here on youtube AND he goes through each segment and part with you, just search for "lick n riff bohemian raphsody

I'm just really curious how deaf are the 142 people who had the nerve to hit the dislike button. I've listened to this maybe 20 times and I still find it amazing. I'm showing it to all my friends and they're all agreeing. Congratulations!
THAT IS THE , HANDS DOWN, WICKEDEST ACOUSTIC VERSION, OF RHAPSODY, I EVER HEARD IN MY LIFE !!!!! THANKS AGAIN FOR YOUR TALENT AND IMITATION..... THE SINCEREST FORM OF FLATTERY !!! FREDDIE WOULD LOVE IT !!!!!
He was my guitar teacher during the late 1970’s here in Luxembourg. He was an extraordinarily very talented guitarist. I hope he is still continuing with guitar.
You might claim not to be a virtuoso but you are right up there my good sir. I have been watching this video since you uploaded it back in the day and I am still in awe as to how close to the original it is.
I rarely post anything, but I have to say that was amazing playing and it doesn't matter who did the arrangement, you did it amazing justice... You're like the best advertisement that this arrangement is playable by people, but you have to have the chops... You certainly have them... Great playing, very inspiring... :)
Wow dude infact no effin wow man that was amazing actually got quite emotional listening to that so beautiful I'm actually stuck for words you my friend rock 👍🏼👍🏼❤️❤️
Ok I had to watch it again. You did a good job. I could almost hear the guitar singing the words to the song! But how can you look so cool just the same? Congratulations!
i cant believe what i just heard! thats is one of the best things ive ever seem done on a guitar and will listen to ten more times today!! well done for inspiring who ever watches this video.. and thank you for re inspiring me to play!!
YOU ARE SUCH A MASTER PLAYING THE GUITAR AND THIS SONG SOUNDS LIKE ALL THE GROUP IS PLAYING AND SINGING AT THE SAME TIME IT IS SO AMAZING YOU ARE TREMENDOUS
outstanding. i remember first hearing Edgar's Queen Arrangement s and just couldnt believe such a thing was possible on solo guitar. you do his work great justice and it is a pleasure to sit a watch you effortlessly work your way through the various sections of it and listen to the dynamics change, etc. this is indeed a masterful performance and one will impress and inspire guitarists for a very long time
After 12 years this is still the best Bohemian Rhapsody Fingerstyle cover.. no One can beat this one 😊
Now alip ba ta the best bohemian rapsody..
True

i agree
Well this is the Edgar Cruz version. He's the one who created the finger style. You should check him out. This guy should accredit Edgar Cruz for creating this guitar version.

This one is the one of the craziest things I saw in UA-cam. A genius
This is one of the best covers I ever heard. This guy has nailed it!!!!!!

I watched this with my mouth hanging open. Superb music, wonderfully played. Thank you.
How about this 👉 ua-cam.com/video/6RN8BoBLj2E/v-deo.html :)
I visit this playing several times from several years.
This is the best playing for "Bohemian Rhapsody" I have ever seen.
I'm in between "I quit guitar playing now" and "I'll train untill I'm this good" :)
I hope you chose the latter :)
I think I saw this video for the first time shortly after its release. Then, one day, I was not able to find it back. Thought it was removed for copyrights reasons.

I've been watching this video for twelve years and can't stop watching and listening again.
16 YEARS,...still standing😊

say what bro hahaha
So far the best interpretation of Bohemian Rhapsody in acoustic guitar.
Impresionante! Simplemente perfecto! Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
2018. Still the best cover on UA-cam.
How about this 👉 ua-cam.com/video/6RN8BoBLj2E/v-deo.html
Hey its 2022 and its the best cover of bohemian rhapsody. I was 10 years old when I first listen this cover
OMG! You´re a master! this is like a concert!
How about this 👉 ua-cam.com/video/6RN8BoBLj2E/v-deo.html :)
The arrangement is brilliant, but the delivery is even better. You made it yours!
RESPECT...!! If would have been played in front of me, would have had a standing ovation with a tear in my eye...!!
Holy shit. Props man. In awe.
Your are still the best. someone here on 2017?
He amazed me! I watched this back in years it wasn't in UA-cam yet, tried to find it again in years, finally found it last week! TG! 😉
Still the best... I really love this guys
Ah we meet again, 240p! Last time ive been here to study this one i wasnt married yet. Cheers ;)
Ive watch this for years I wish he would up load somemore of his talent one day
Still haven't found anyone else play it this well.
Try watch alip ba ta
Steve Bean
I watching this video a three days in a loop.
Hypnotist!
I've been listening to this since 2013 until now still the best cover and ive been looking for this video just to listen again.
Incredible!!! You just play it lovely and perfect. By the way you play I would say that you have a flamenco background as a guitar player. Is it true?
Still the best! Effordless. I can't believe Steve Bean has passed you in viewings. He has no rithm, doesn't hit every note and I hear a lot of hissing and cracking when he plays. Also Cruz (we of course thank him for the arrangement) plays way too scruffy.

Great cymbal imitation at the very end :D
This video is from 10 years ago!!
12 years later, still the best rendition of this arrangement

Still, he's the best!
Joana L. If you can do this, I'll bow down to your feet.
Imagine writing it. ;)
Queen, they can do anything :)
Amazing. But sadly, I cant do it yet x)
Btw you should check out a guy who is also pretty great. His name is Sungha Jung.
***** ahah true that!!
Great, just can't stop listening to this guy's piece....
2018 anyone?? Here bexause of the movie Bohemian Rhapsody
Jul King I’m 2019
this old man did't get higher view than Steve Bean and Cruz because youtube is full of k pop lover not music listener . . .
THAT IS THE , HANDS DOWN, WICKEDEST ACOUSTIC VERSION, OF RHAPSODY, I EVER HEARD IN MY LIFE !!!!! THANKS AGAIN FOR YOUR TALENT AND IMITATION..... THE SINCEREST FORM OF FLATTERY !!! FREDDIE WOULD LOVE IT !!!!!
It was O.K... As in "O"ver-the-top "K"iller !!!
It was okay, but truthfully, it could have used more cowbell. Bravo Maestro.
He was my guitar teacher during the late 1970’s here in Luxembourg. He was an extraordinarily very talented guitarist. I hope he is still continuing with guitar.
Excuse me, sir.
I think this is good too

You might claim not to be a virtuoso but you are right up there my good sir. I have been watching this video since you uploaded it back in the day and I am still in awe as to how close to the original it is.
Wow. As a guitarist, I appreciate this on so many levels. Beautiful to listen to.

how can anyone dislike such a great job? I don't believe that! It was played masterfully, really impressive!
Every time I listen to this I get chills..seriously. This man is amazing!
This is masterful playing. Nothing will top this version.
I rarely post anything, but I have to say that was amazing playing and it doesn't matter who did the arrangement, you did it amazing justice... You're like the best advertisement that this arrangement is playable by people, but you have to have the chops... You certainly have them... Great playing, very inspiring... :)
Interpretazione davvero notevole !!! Grande!!!
Honestly, the best I have ever seen someone get out of a guitar... really need to pay my respect, good sir.
Speechless Performance......or only two words: Thank You.

I really just kept this around years ago just to learn but after a few replays I've realized that it was just to listen to how well this was played.
So good it cracked me up! Makes me, as a guitarist, realise how little I've accomplished.

Beautiful! Just Beautiful! That must have been so gratifying when you played it all the way through the first time... Thanks for sharing!
IMHO this is the best cover among all, so good!!
A great example of a great track, fantastic job !
Awesome!!!! and a great contribution to guitarist here on YT! Totally enjoyed!..especially the passage 3:16 :) ...Fantastic performance!
