California Guitar Trio - Bohemian Rhapsody

[JFelipeMac]

Fantastic naturally!

[imaydimayd]

Of course the Asian fellow is playing lead lol

[tsthebestca]

I LOVE these guys, my brother Scott tunred me onto them and I am hooked, line and sinker, rock on CGT!

[d1gecko]

these guys where at my school about a month ago

[randomhero724]

where could i get the sheet music? :)

[glesako]

Awesome!



[jmtrapp]

Saw these guys last night in a local music club/restaurant and they are excellent.

[MichFingerstyle]

Great show tonight at Michigan Fingerstyle. Thanks guys. All the best and see you next time around.

[cartmen73]

This rocked my morning. They are playing in Utah tonight - so wish I were closer to SLC!

[kytaristka]

Fantastic play, nice memory!

Greetings from Czech

Eva

[bideovest]

Wow,they don't really need a piano to perform. Awesome

[bellbrass]

This is better than all the choir versions!

[harryallbrook]

where can i get a tab for all three parts?

[escorpious3]

@harryallbrook Ultimate Guita Tabs Archive, i tried to paste the link but it wouldn't let me. They usually have fairly accurate tabs 90% of the time. Sometimes it amy be a bit off, but close enought to where you can fill in the gaps.

[joegold0]

blasphemy!

This was never meant to be played acoustically.

Nice skills though.

[stevehoge]

Pretty limp - where's the fire? The dynamics are just flat - c'mon guys, put some energy into it!

[bardakPoli]

hmmm.... I didn't like ie so much. I think that little boring and not emotional version. Edgar Cruz!!!! See him work! His version! That's really cooooooool!!!!

[BTBHSOHBOY]

@bardakPoli That's a great version, but a really amazing one is Jake Shimabukuro's. He makes a UKULELE sound lamenting.

[phoenixfirex]

Oh Mama Mia, Mama Mia, Mama Mia Let me Go!

[Felish85]

this video make the guy look lke handicap

watch?v=RxR7dVPKnD

[ItaLyZPlaYa1]

Not bad, woulda like to hear some kind of singing though.

[hagoguitar]

@ItaLyZPlaYa1 the clue is in the title - it's a guitar trio :-)

[IDunnoWhatIsGoingOn]

Beautiful :)

[khyria]

this is very awesome!

[ffairlane57]

366,852 views as I type this. .....51 tone deaf dislikers.

[EpiphoneArchtopLover]

@ffairlane57 this must get like 10,000 views a month!! 376,547 views as if right now!

[Tazwegian]

Tighten it up. Otherwise not bad.

[dissonateinharmony]

@Tazwegian it's probably the microphones.

[minusjason]

@dissonateinharmony I'm pretty sure it's not the microphones, but just the encoding of this video. Hear how it sounds all watery? Happens when videos have low-quality sound.

[joeybones4]

greatly written, terrible sound quality

[weenfan909]

@joeybones4 I agree :( Someone upload a higher quality version

Still beautiful though

[freddyzcount90]

@joeybones4 it's not their song, if that's what you mean

[pandabiscuts123]

Now you know asians have no souls, he is playing one of the most amazing songs ever written, and he couldn't be more bored ha ha

[PROFFESORSEXY]

its badass and all but edgar cruz can do it solo

[emiilyerin]

I saw these guys todayy at SWC, they were amazinggg,.

[karnivalfreak]

@emiilyerin dude i did too :) and they were amazing i have to say myself as well 

[devolve42]

When posting video of acoustic guitar performance, be sure to digitally compress the hell out of it so that it sounds like it's being piped in from 37 miles under water.

[lennoncb]

Linda versão de uma linda música. Parabéns ao trio pela interpretação!!!

[Shmook1]

Amazing...

[QueenBeatlesWings]

impressive!-not an easy song to play and amazing its done with 3 acoustic guitars instead of all the instruments in the original yet sounds just as good

[Fullonoobs]

@QueenBeatlesWings i like your youtube account name

[anhbht]

Boring. Improvisation? No. New harmony? No. Something interesting apart from the original sheet music? No. Super hard to do, I mean like classical music? No. Constipated faces from a yet another nerdy looking asian dude while playing? Yes. Nothing new to the song, horrible presentation. This is like fucking whatever, those guys who cover Metallica on cello. Horrible. Why listen to this when you can listen to the original?

[fongkui]

@anhbht

Wow, you sound such an angry person. Glad I don't know you

[Mandiox]

@fongkui totally agree ( dont know if i said that well, i dont speak much english)

maybe its not something new, but its nice tribute, nd they perform it really well

[fongkui]

@Mandiox

I am not that good in English too, I am Malaysian. Yes, I think the CG Trio is fabulous.  Very talented.

[Shinzu92]

I love their voice its like a Wooooo

[izabellakrisia]

omg, beautiful!

[jpoliarco16]

whats up with the 47 losers who dont know great talent when its shown and disliked this. -.-

[ramzan721]

@jpoliarco16 whats up

[jpoliarco16]

@ramzan721 oh hai...?



[starlitsky222]

How does this video have 46 dislikes?!!!! Crack heads. This was purrrrty damn good, indeed!

[hcast2005]

Fantastic version. Freddy is very proud.

[ichbinderhanfmann]

fantastic

[redifreddy14]

checkmate Queen

[dewie159]

these guys played at my school for all the guitar students. they played this song. they also taught us some things. this song they played unplugged for us. 1 kid got the school guitar signed

[matephone]

why nobody can do that 'dim' sentence right in the 'wierd' section? these guys do it all perfectly beside that little (but very important) piece! come on guys!

[ZeDudzProdutions117]

they play in shiprock 2 night yay

[punkishchick123]

These guys are amazing.

[kemppma]

@punkishchick123 How come I´ve never heard of these guys. They are really awesome!

[punkishchick123]

@kemppma I know right :D

[higurashitalamantes3]

This is the best of time n.n

[Asymmatrix]

Wow, they didn't use those unbearable piezo bridge pickups. Actually sounds like a guitar. Miraculous.

[bbuteo]

This is wonderful.

[jugglingnebula]

Awesome!

[resistance2314]

very nice

[cheyenne91011]

That was pretty cool!!!

[kernalkorn]

Brilliantly done! Five Stars from me...

[MrPinoyrock]

That was awesome! 5 stars!

[bulldogbasketball44]

saw these dudes friday at woodrow, some shit they do is crazy.

[123123fakestreet]

Great guitar tone.... Struggling to find something good to say about these guys.

[xXElLonelyBoyXx]

...That gave me goosebumps!! Awesome Job!

[giraffessuck]

if there was ever an argument for gay rights

[theredrooter]

giraffesuck, you must be an upset pufter

[giraffessuck]

:) not upset or pufty about anything... was just saying that Queen fans love that song but even non-Queen fans would love this rendition... i think of the right way to say things 1-2 weeks after i say them... certainly never meant to bring a red -2 against myself... may the internet be with you

[ErlendoWH]

No words can describe this! :o

[belvaumana89]

excellent

[rakotkrumpli]

one of my favorite songs in a masterpiece version. thanx

[pshemOsh]

awesome! one of my favourite i've seen on utube

[JP9113]

es un buen video me encanta la guitarra y me parece muy creativo como tocan esta cancion

[skatesftw]

i cant find 1 reason why u would write in spanish ?

great cover

[usy109]

i dnt evn no hw this is anuzin but i dnt like gutairs

[3applez3]

wtfs wrong with you

[usy109]

nthn gt a problem

[PrincesSnizzeL]

Great :)

[PrincesSnizzeL]

I wish i could play like that :D

[Trex100]

Super. Wow. That was bloody fantastic.

[yeehah82]

Awesome, guys!!!! Reminds me of John Mayer's tribute to Michael Jackson -- Freddie Mercury must be loving it from Rock Heaven!

Where can I download or get your CD?

[Trampsiful]

How are the two even relatively the same?

[amandacloud2009]

I think Yeehah means it's an exquisitely beautiful guitar version of a great classic, like the guitar performance of MJ's Human Nature at his funeral (see my channel to view). This is also hauntingly beautiful, and I do think Queen would love it!

[Trampsiful]

Depends on what qualifies as a "classic," but fair enough.

[frolickfriendster]

bravo!

[eddiechristiani]

this is amazing! very well done!

[TheChrisito]

you can buy the tabs but firts send me a PM

[TheChrisito]

do you want tabs?? buy it on my channel!! :)

[mattyb733andashley]

tabs plz

[rudysan24]

Just a warning, they don't play in standard tuning, they play the Guitar Workshop/Robert Fripp tuning where the High E is higher and Lower E is even lower.

[chickenmanokout]

LOL?

[nhinderliter]

its not youtube fucking up the quality you stupid fuck....

[knockerz]

epic

[BrighamHB]

my guitar class at school did this (not as good as they do, but...)

[LameGuitar]

Awesome..enjoyed

[alfrededsmasanque]

chie

[Creamyguitar1956]

Edgar Cruz version is the BEST on youtube...ask the guys in this video and they would agree...

[chickenmanokout]

this is the best LOL

[Creamyguitar1956]

This is three guitars. Edgar plays all these parts on ONE and it sounds wonderful. Again I say. Ask these guys who does it better.

[paulyrich]

We first saw Edgar playing his solo version at a Mexican Restaurant in Oklahoma City in 1998, and he inspired us to create our 3 guitar version for the CGT. Edgar is an amazing player and a great friend. I love his solo version!

[WildChildkaA]

amazing indeed, the original sounds better in my opinion...

[ConnorShawMusic]

amazing!!

[Dav1oMagnific0]

I was hoping they would play this when I saw them

[Hopspop]

There's nothing these guys cannot play - very cool, who would think to cover this with 3 acoustic guitars? Toccata and Fugue also?

Saw them open for Crimson about 15 years ago and was blown away with their ability and MUSICALITY.

To those nitpicking their tone, listen to their discs or see them live before hacking them, YouTube is hardly the audio standard.

[L3tTh3DragonFly]

iwas planning to do this but i typed it in to see if i was beaten to it but it seems i was lol

/ben/ enjoyed the song once again :)

[GroovyGuitar02]

lol yeah , youtube's audio quality sucks :'/

[Didgeridan]

Depends on the individual video/song recording, my friend.

[CrueKnight]

Holy awesome!

[johnk7472]

I NEED A TAB OF ALL 3 SEPERATE PARTS!!!!

[yullsjenkins]

no you dont

[ninjaracoon]

sweeeet!

[Giodraco]

Que cabron quedo

[itzelita94]

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD

[ioutoftune]

I love how you all sync up in the end! Would have been nice to feel that intensity from the beginning.

[kingofmercy]

fantastic!!

[lazernteebbee]

ya one i flat on high e ...middle guy

[trod1g]

I think the whack tune is coming just from the guitar in the middle. The other ones sound okay. Just a little muffled.

[daviswheeler]

Martin's Sensation ! Really tasteful play lads!

Which I could video/see these guys!

[ironmonger100]

What an amazing arrangement, brilliantly performed but their sound reminds of the harpsichord setting on a cheap keyboard.

[SuperstarX]

f*cking great cover version. I remember as I saw them as support act for Spock's Beard in 2003, they performed this version also.

[joeboi85]

Awesome Video I Wish I Could Do This...

[ronaldinhakaulitz]

stupendo !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Nohadream]

Boring...

[epikuroarq]

Simply perfect...

[davidbrucemusicvideo]

what's the matter with the audio? sounds warbly... great otherwise!

[GroovyGuitar02]

youtube is good as ruining any good tone i think ...

[poyopujato3]

me encanta, pero van muy rapido ¬

igual saben mucho!, exitos a todos los qe conozcan este temaa!,

[crapht]

simple gay

took about 50 seconds to begin

worst ever.

[tsubasaISfun]

I just saw these guys a few days ago and they were amazing...I got their live CD and they all signed it...I even went and got their guest mandolin player and sound guy's signature XD.

Simply amazing.

[Aruleki]

tony levin tiene un micrófono de bigote!

[horsepowerslave]

very clean PROFESSIONALLY COULD NOT HAVE DONEANYTHING DIFERENT OR BETTER OUTSTANDING job guys with all the JUNK in the last twodecades breath of fresh air THANKS

[arg13415]

How come they sound out of tune then?

[vladvampire]

WOAW... Without words. Almost like the original!

[T250]

any guys have a cam? i have mine in my profile r

[StellaMaris1125]

Superb!!!!!5*

[LordApes]

yeah. Edgar Cruz is great. So is the other dude who learned from Cruz.

However, i think this version has more depth. 1 guitar is great. 3 is even better. the steel strings they use in this version makes the treble clearer than Edgar's nylon strings.

kudos to them all!

[LoverofLiszt]

Sorry, my bad. I meant "Edgar Cruz - Bohemian Rhapsody (classical guitar)". Anyway, It´s great.

[LoverofLiszt]

This is nice, I love both Queen and acustic guitars. But check out "Impossible guitar" in the "related videos"-list, Edgar Cruz manage to do this song as good (or even better) on just ONE guitar.

[ViluR123]

i hate this "impossible guitar" link. how did it get so many views? :O

[dannyboy4314]

same. If it was impossible, then how come how can play it?...

[joeboi85]

I Agree it's just an annoying tone

guack!

[kinggimped]

It's been there a long time...

[ViluR123]

But it's just not that good! :D

[kinggimped]

I agree. Joscho Stephan deserves more 'impossible guitar' views :)

[Zaklopac]

this is for 10

[Prostatakarzinom]

roundhouse-kick!!!!!

Thats very nice played!

[WhoCaresJay]

Bruce Lee really is a great guitarist i never knew this.

[kavudx]

LOLDONGS!

[Vwhip24]

I saw them at the Redlands Bowl

[julez123444]

wow that's awesome...

[pwilde2803]

Fantastic, freddie Mercury would be well pleased with this version.

[fighterx]

you mean brian may.

[weefeatures]

you mean Elvis Presley

[weefeatures]

you mean van gogh

[julez123444]

you mean Chuck Norris

[kavudx]

you mean Michael Phelps

[WhoCaresJay]

no i dont

[findoBFG17]

nah m8 u do

[julez123444]

????

[SuperstarX]

California Guitar Trio are really great. I had the big pleasure to seen them live as support act for Spock's Beard in 2003. Very good cover version of "Bohemian Rhapsody".

[JoesCheapThrills]

Edgar Cruz is good definitely but that's not the style of California Trio and that's not how Robert Fripp taught them to play.

[tonagunner]

edgar cruz hace el trabajo de los 3 solo

[diegoescolochog]

Si, y es muy bueno.

Pero mejor disfrutemos las 2 versiones de la canción en vez de ver quien es mejor.

[crispo28]

Coincido contigo, es una excelente version, y unos virtuosos de la musica.
