  • 4 personnes sont sourdes

  • Putain, c'est trop top...bravo

  • you´re so cool! a good song and a good guitarrist! greeting from mexico

  • @HysteriaHaarp That's kind, thankyou :-) glad you enjoyed my version

  • WOW!! AWESOME PLAYING!

  • @bigdobba4 Thanks friend :-)

  • Shaun.I am one of the lucky ones to have seen and heard you perform this piece live.I feel so privilaged for that.It is absolutely top draw i will never get tired of it Well done,it is fantastic!!!I

  • @daverhona Thanks Dave ... your gig Sunday was great, loved it, some great songs, and the CD has blown me away, those songs are incredible, will get to some more gigs soon, keep me updated, and will def see you over the festive season.

  • wanna have some tabs :D

  • You're rockkkkkkkkkkkkkk my man .... Bless you.. God creates you ... :-)

  • @luckysinyo28 wow, thankyou - glad you like it :-)

  • Your guitar playing is amazing! I could hear Freddie singing this!

    This song played acoustically is just brilliant my friend!

    Thank you sincerely for this!

    Debbie : )

  • @misslantana52 Thanks Debbie, appreciate that very much - I try to sing the lyrics internally as I play, it helps me to articulate the melody line against the rest of the texture, if you know what I mean.

  • how is it possible that this amazing masterpiece have only 30 k views when justin bieber have millions ?... like seriously this is taking the classical guitar to a new level dude !

  • @mardom05123 I know you mean well but can we please watch great videos without mentioning that teeny bopper. You're giving him publicity.

  • Exquisite! How I wish I could do something similar! Have played the guitar for pleasure from a young age but have never quite mastered it. My main problem is having too wide a taste for music; thus failing to focus on one genre or playing style! I have a folk-music steel-string, a semi-acoustic for jazz and blues, a nylon-string standard-size neck and a classical broad neck (which I can hardly touch)! This sensational playing has inspired me to stretch my playing repertoire like nothing before!

  • @kayem11 Thanks so much for the kind comment ...as for different genres, i know what you mean but I find that the good 'ole Classical guitar with its nylon strings are good for pretty well every genre. The fact that this rock classic is done on Nylon strings by a lot of players bears that out i think.

  • don't think i've ever seen anyone use their little finger on their right hand! hahaha might aswell use it if it's there i guess!

  • @LOLAGE123RC You're right, I use it cause it's there! It's not textbook I know but can't think of a reason not to use it, gives an extra spread on those 5-finger chords

  • awesomeness + beautiful = perfect!!

  • @tjkusuma Wow thankyou :-)

  • Beautiful. And where can we find the transcription?

  • @syvergutten Thank you friend :-) .. tabs info is at shaunmurray. biz .. cheers.

  • I would love a CD of your guitar covers. So soothing. I love listening to them while I study. Just wonderful. You are my favourite guitar player on all of youtube!

  • @SongBird2727 Wow thanks :-) ...CDs thru shaunmurray. biz ...

  • Simply awesome!

  • mmmmm, . . . absolutely loved it.

  • YOW! Shaun Murray is a n icon!!!! Not only an icon!!!! AN INSPIRATION!!!!! THE BEST!

  • You've made this hack wish he'd never bothered picking up a guitar. All kidding aside, that was brilliant!

  • all I could say is WOW.. I enjoy listening to ur songs.. but just one thing, you use your little finger too? coz from this video, i think i saw you use your little finger..?

  • @versatilehong Thanks, glad you like it :-) ..yes, I do use my little finger - no reason not to! Means I can pick 5-note chords.

  • @ironmonger100 haha.. tat's cool!

  • This looks like an extremely difficult piece to play. I would never be able to pull it off in a million years. Still...Very enjoyable. Wonderful.

  • @Slimboyfat1979 thanks, glad you liked it ..it's hard in parts but most of it is quite manageable I'd say.

  • WOW!

  • Ironmonger100 is among my favourites guitar players and I only come to know his Bohemian Rhapsody version today and I appreciated it very much as you did not play like Edgar Cruz, like many others, but I agree with you Edgar Cruz version is tremendous as well as the other Queen songs he plays.

  • @jaugb ..Thanks.. Edgar is the man! :-)

  • WOO! GO SHAUN! from adam t :P

  • amazing!

  • Great arrangement with lots of feel. I play the Cruz version which is more straight foreward but with less 'extra's'. Must be difficult not having the conveniense of some open strings;-)

    You play ten times better than Cruz. He has no feel and goes over the difficult parts without really playing the notes.

    I'm gonna try to copy some of your right hand interpretations onto the Cruz arrangement. Thank you!

  • @topneorej ..appreciate that very much, thankyou - glad you like my version. I have to say that I think Edgar's is the difinitive, the man's a legend!

  • @topneorej sorry to say but i honesty think Edgar Cruz`s version is better. It is more "recognizable." Honesty, if i didnt see that the title of this video was "Bohemian Rhapsody," than i would not have recognized the song until :55. And even then, the melody is being cluttered up by fancy stuff which makes no sense 2 me. Sry

  • Beautiful :-)))

  • BRAVO!

  • you are a legend mate!!

  • @manyanaman .. Not at all :-/ ... glad you liked my version though, ..Thanks :-)

  • I need this in Mp3.

    You are a genious, contratz from Brazil!

  • @Viper030069 ..Thanks, that's kind of you, glad you like it :-) ... sorry I can't offer MP3s, I haven't recorded it (apart from this vid) but I believe there's a free download available of some software that enables YT vids to be converted to MP3s. I know nothing about it though. Thanks again.

  • @ironmonger100 Ok them, I used a Software to take the mp3 and now I can listen your songs in the car and the cellphone, hope you dont think bad about it. And again, you are a Genious! Goodbye!

  • I'm enthralled... you captured a bit of sadness that I never really noticed in the song.

  • @deviIbird .. Thankyou, I hadn't noticed that myself but I think the chord progression in the first section has a sort of melancholia about it, which I can hear now as I listen :-)

  • I just love it Shaun! Awesome arrangement & playing! :)

  • Ive never seen someone use their pinkie as a picking finger before. good job mate!

  • @danbs07 ..Hi Dan - thanks ... no reason not to make use of it I feel :-) ... excellent interpretations of some of the Trinity Guildhall pieces on your channel, enjoyed them very much. Cheers.

  • Masterful

  • Masterful

  • sir can u make an album of all your covers coz i would just love to listen to it all the time

  • @cormicreborn ...Thanks for watching :-) I do have a CD called Never Alone' ..see my channel for the video of it, and more details at shaunmurray . biz ... thx again :-)

  • Congratulations, excellent technique. I wanted to ask how to get the sheet music for guitar of the song?? Thanks in advance.

  • @wesimo43 ..Thanks, appreciate that :-) .. please visit shaunmurray. biz - details of transcriptions are there. Thanks again

  • Muito boa essa versao PT-ENG Very cool that version.its more dificulty in B Major than A major like edgar cruz play because B Major chord has a bar...

  • @katexpero2 ...Thankyou, appreciate the comment. I guess B major is a more difficult key but I think this arrangement is probably a little less detailed than Edgar's so maybe that cancels it out

  • bravissimo...

  • @danielemaiese ... Grazie :-)

  • great!I wish I to became as good as you one day.

  • WOW!!! Excellent!!! I've been playing 30 years, and I have sincere admiration for all your work! You are a very fine musician, and you capture the essence of every song perfectly!! Thankyou!

  • tengo 18 años y soy guitarrista, y sos lo mejor que vi en mi vida, no se de donde sos, yo soy de argentina y realmente te felicito!

  • @lospibeLp Thankyou for your kind comment, glad you enjoyed my version ... and good luck with your own music-making :-)

  • Bravo!!!!!!!!!!

  • beuatifull

  • Man, you are the best!!!!

  • Jesus how long did that take to learn! wow! Your brain must remember the patterns, I know a lame version of this I've heard my mates version of this for his solo recital and it definitely didn't have as much activity as this arrangement, this is brilliant, fair play! Love it! oh also love your rendition of She's Out of My Life, Keep it up man its lik exactly what Im lookin for 24/7 to listen to! Thanks :D

  • Beautiful Shaun! Nice song to mellow out to! Gotta learn me this!

  • @specrotum thanks, appreciate the comment very much, you're right - there's a lot about this song that's very mellow

  • First, that was very beautifully played, thank you! If I might be so bold, I'd like to ask if you have you ever thought of making teaching DVDs for some of your classical renditions of rock and roll favorites? Take your viewers step by step by step through a song in an instructional video and sell it on line. I know I would happily buy it, and I don't think I'd be the only one. Tabs and sheet music is fine but visual instruction best :-)

    At any rate, very pleasant to hear and watch.

  • @Driimweever Thanks so much, glad you liked my interpretation ... With DVDs, great idea but the copyright issue is a massive one, I couldn't just make such a DVD and market it, I'd need permission from (and have to pay royalties to) all the song's authors etc, and that makes it much more work and much more of a financial risk. But it may happen ! :-)

  • On a scale of 1-10 how hard is this to learn?

  • @Henders100 Well it's pretty hard ... a lot of it is quite manageable but it has some tricky passages. A full transcript (with alternatives for the tricky bits) is available at my shop shaunmurray . biz

  • Great. I love it. :)

  • Good job on this song!

    I don't think anyone has played it as well as you.

  • You're one of the best player i ever seen.

    Thx u do much.....

  • awesome!! i got my two thumbs up for this..

  • f-ing amazing! xd

  • Another really good piece there man. Im well impressed.

    TOP QUALTY PERFORMANCE !

    BRAVO ! BRAVO !

  • AMAZING!!

  • ive heard alot of classical versions of this song and i love your attention to rhythm and dynamics.... really well polished performance and i can see you've put your soul into this one...great work!!!!

  • Man you play one sweet acoustic guitar.

  • You are so good! But i have a question! Monger... is your name?

  • @lagrandeeve :-) Thankyou, I'm happy you like it. I am Shaun Murray but I am in a trio called the Sally Ironmonger Trio - and that IS her real name :-)

  • You are so good! But i have a question! Monger... is your name?

  • this is the best i've seen it. best audio, pretty good video, and spectacular playing

  • It is wonderful. It was impressed.

  • A real pleasure thanks for sharing your talent !!!

  • Truly, A beautiful piece of work ! A one man virtuoso of one of the greatest Rock Opera anthems ever! Thank You my friend for this outstanding video..

  • 素晴らしい・・・感動しました!

  • do you have the tab written out somewhere digital?

  • OMG! This is amazing!

  • HHHUUUUUGGGEEEE !!!!

  • again i got to say wow!! That blew my mind

  • great job. where is it available?

  • Fantastic!!! You made it as if it was written just for the classic guitar. Subtile changes from original score made it even better. Excellent musicianship. BRAVISSIMO!

  • Would sound nice in a Mexcian enchilada somewhere.

  • Awesome, Awesome, Great cover of a great song...keep it up

  • Glad you liked it - thanks :-)

  • nicely done sir.... clap clap!!!!

  • Congratulations!!! great interpretation!!!! =) saludos desde México

  • Thankyou friend :-)

  • Mr Ironmonger you are a genius. There are a lot of interpretations of this c-c-c-classic tune on YouTube but this is by far the best and I thank you for it. I don't know whether to persevere with the classical guitar or knock it on the head! I fear I may have another 100years to go before I even resemble your talent.

    Thanks again. CK

  • Wow, thanks, that's very kind. I'm halfway through transcribing this one, it's a long job!

  • incredible, amazing just perfect thx very much for this beautiful interpretation :)

  • Thanks, glad you enjoyed :-)

  • Awesome! i like the way you play. Queen songs are some of my favorite music.

  • Thankyou :-) ... Ihave 3 other Queen songs on here, hope you enjoy those too

  • impressive :)

  • Bravo, bravissimo, eccellente! Mi piacerebbe avere il tuo talento. In più la canzone é stupenda! Ciao

  • Grazie mille!

  • are you fingerpicking with your little finger? exellent rendition!

  • Yes I do pick with the little finger - sometimes you just need a 5-note chord ...

  • xO.. i love that

  • Maravilloso fantastico, impresionante bravo bravo!!!!! Ya has conseguido otro fan!!!!! I LOVE YOU GUITAR!!!

  • Hola! I guess you like the Queen stuff! Thanks for watching and subscribing :-)

  • beautiful

  • This song is awesome!

    Really nice cover. Too bad you don't have any tabs. How long have you been playing guitar?

  • Thankyou! I'll be tabbing it soon, I'll keep you updated. Been playing a lot of years! ... since age 11, but I did give up for 20 years, so glad I rediscovered it!

  • A great arrangement. I would even risk saying that it feels more like Queen than Edgar Cruz version. But Cruz is of course also good. Anyway, I love Queen music very much, I like their composing brilliance. And your playing is showing all that brilliance perfectly. Thank you.

  • nice men very nice

  • Hi,

    I really enjoyed watching the video. Its a nice arrangement. Way beyond my guitar talents Im afraid but really nice to watch and listen to.

    Thanks for the experience

    EC

  • Thanks a lot Eddie ... and for subscribing. cheers

  • i have the Edgar Cruz DVD for 2yrs and have been trying to learn this song since then, i think your ending is better than edgars, How many times do you have to play a song before YouTube it?

  • I've been doing this arrangement for a while - I'm halfway thru transcribing it but it's a long process :-/ ....thanks for the comment, glad you like it

  • You saved my day !

  • Unbelievable

  • *blush* thanks hannah

  • Holy Mo! Zuper!

  • that is fantastic playing !!!

  • Amazing. Great playing sir.

  • wow

  • the master at work,killer stuff you got here sir.wish i can watch your perform live.

  • prob best ive seen! Best wishes darren

  • And, oh...Is that an Alhambra? :O

  • Out of the classical guitar players on the Tube, you must be one of the best. You are the only one I've seen so far (besides Edgar Cruz) that can play this song properly on a classical guitar. You changed your tempo a bit around 2:55, but other than that, it was almost flawless

  • Well, a few dodgy moments on this vid really, it's easier to carry off live than it is with a mic in front of me at home :-/ ....it's a washburn, not expensive. Appreciate the kind comment, thanks :-)

  • Awesome!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Thanks man, appreciated :-)

  • That was truly amazing! I never thought anyone could do that song on guitar! Nice job! You are so talented! I love that song!

  • Thanks, appreciate you watching and commenting - i don't think there's much that can't be done on a gut-strung guitar :-)

  • Hey dude, what a musician ! I used to love Queen. When I was a teenager it was like the only person who understood me was Freddie Mercury !!! Check out my acoustics and vocals (not as sophisticated as yours, but enjoyed doing it) x

  • Thanks Farah :-)

  • pretty nice, it different to the other versions on YT but it great. I'd like to know where i can find the music sheet pls 5/5

    cristopher

  • Thankyou - I haven't transcribed it, it's a kind of by-ear arrangement

  • Its very impressive to me, how it is able to play such an polyphonic song like Boehemoan Rhapsody, solo on a guitar..

    Great JOB !!

  • Thankyou :-) ... I think almost anything's possible on a Classical guitar...

  • I just love ur arrangements... I never really go into playing instruments but I just love music and its so relaxing... But ur playing in particular it makes my eyes swell up with tears.. So clean and confident.. and I can basically hear the lyrics in my head... I need to say no more.. U make it look so easy.... Im jealous.. :(

  • man i just love your arrangments!!!

  • Thanks - and your Villa Lobos stuff is fantastic

  • awesome...I wanna play like that but im only a beginner...

  • Very Nice. I like the E chord in this key.

    Edgar

  • Thanks for stopping by Edgar :-) .. if you get the chance to look at my arrangement of 'Play The Game' I'd be pleased - and I'll be posting Good Old Fashioned Lover Boy any day.

  • Sweet as. It sounds like you have a feel for the music unlike some other people who play all out of time. I play the guitar too, it's fun. =)

  • Thanks so much, and good luck with your playing .. get some videos posted! :-)

  • thank from argentina please paly sme of astor piazzola you are greate !!

  • Great arrangement! Thank you!

  • you are to me a real musican,not those young drugged up pompous 'so called' rockstars thinking they're doing the public a favour.you should be very proud of your talent,you are an inspiration to many!!

  • This is just amazing! I hardly believe in such fine attention you got to the whole music! Really Awesome!

  • you're a genius, made my day hearing that

  • Awesome. Played flawlessly and with such fine attention to detail. Truely talented!

  • I bet this was one of the hardest cover to learn, wasn't it? The are some parts going soo fast!

    Fantasticly doner!

  • WoW! that was amazing, I'm just starting to play hope i see more of your tutorials.

  • All your videos are amazing. I start my guitar lessons on wednesday. I seriously hope i can be as good as you.
