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
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.
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

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'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!
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!!
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 👍🏼👍🏼❤️❤️
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
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... :)
Sep 2020 - I heard this way way back and ... I've (re) listened to many covers of this. Today, I still gravitate to this one as being the best cover of Edgar Cruz's work. The song / performance flows effortlessly. Sir ... I'd appreciate learning your practice methodology. Congratulations !
Thats what you call playing from your heart! Best guitar cover I've seen, Period! The kid who taps the super mario bros.theme on two guitars was impressive but you just totally blew him out the water! Nice job!
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！！
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 is one of the best covers I ever heard. This guy has nailed it!!!!!!
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've been watching this video for twelve years and can't stop watching and listening again.

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!
Holy shit. Props man. In awe.
RESPECT...!! If would have been played in front of me, would have had a standing ovation with a tear in my eye...!!
Great, just can't stop listening to this guy's piece....
Your are still the best. someone here on 2017?

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.

Amazing work. Just made me smile through the whole piece - thank you.
Hey its 2022 and its the best cover of bohemian rhapsody. I was 10 years old when I first listen this cover
Still haven't found anyone else play it this well.
Try watch alip ba ta
Steve Bean
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.

I’m so sad we don’t have more but can’t thank you enough for this and roundabout! Unbelievable job!!!
You have a way of channelling the original and getting the feeling of it really well.
I watching this video a three days in a loop.
Hypnotist!
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?
After 10 years I still listen and like your version the most!
Wow. As a guitarist, I appreciate this on so many levels. Beautiful to listen to.
This video is from 10 years ago!!
Great cymbal imitation at the very end :D
after many years!! this is far the best that ive ever seen doing it!!! longlive sir!!
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.
2018 anyone?? Here bexause of the movie Bohemian Rhapsody
Jul King I’m 2019
Still, he's the best!
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.
Favorited. Absolutely amazing.
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!!
this old man did't get higher view than Steve Bean and Cruz because youtube is full of k pop lover not music listener . . .
i could listen to you for hours that really was the nicest piece of guitar i have ever heard, and the way in which you pulled it off, that was amazing
It's been 15year but still favourite ❤️😩
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.
The old man himself is a treasure.. he's just awesome..😊
how can anyone dislike such a great job? I don't believe that! It was played masterfully, really impressive!
BLOWED AWAY EVERY TIME !!! FANTASTIC !!!!!!
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.
Speechless Performance......or only two words: Thank You.
Absolutely amazing!
In awe and speechless
One of the best performances I have ever heard. Congratulations.
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!

So good it cracked me up! Makes me, as a guitarist, realise how little I've accomplished.
