    Bohemian Rhapsody by Freddie Mercury.
    This is a short film of Edgar Cruz's fantastic arrangement of Bohemian Rhapsody. Shot, recorded and produced by my good friend Rob Wright at Mama Liz's Voodoo Lounge.

      Matic Gabor It'd be a pleasure, But I'm pretty limited to UK gigs unless you can afford to pay for my travel... in which case you could get Edgar Cruz, he's the guy who arranged it.

    The most stunning and heartfelt interpretation of anything ever. Played with grace and technical sophistication. Bravo. Bravo. I'm 62 and have listened and played music my whole life. I just love when someone takes something like this to a whole new level. I didn't like Freddy much even though I recognized the talent in him and his band. You captured the real essence of that entire piece, with nothing lacking. Amazing work. What a joy it was to enjoy that piece in such a different way.

    • @bengray5013
      @bengray5013 Před 9 lety +6

      His name was Freddie, not Freddy, and his band as you put it, they have a name, he was the lead singer but the other members had just as much input into every song... I'm not exactly sure how you think this is taking Freddie's masterpiece to a new level, it's good but it's definitely not better than the original song!

And then from Monday to Friday because as time passes by I really start feeling tired,I have two jobs and the only time I have free is during nite time, soon I started to feel overwhelmed, I don't know if it happened to you, but I mean I really want to be good at it and maybe someday make a living,that's why I'm so hard on my self,but you're right just like u say I will start doing.

    Guitar Techniques magazine have a now legendary tab of BoRap. I've been learning it for the past 14 years, dipping back in every few days, yet I'm still only a 1/3 of the way through it. Hats of to this guy - he well and truly nails it. It's a song of nuisances, highs and lows, and Steve masterfully demonstrates all its quirks and complexities.
