Bohemian Rhapsody Solo

[leehlers666]

[leehlers666]

good playing but too much distortion. :)

[olivergreening]

Hello I am new to making videos on youtube so can anyone reading this comment checkout my cover of the solo from Killer Queen /watch?v=A8z0JBnQIys

[Belzeboosss]

nice video !!!

[MeerwaserPat]

This is the guitar of Bryan May !!

[gugolero]

Espero que el amigo Freddy jamas llegue a oir esto desde el mas alla porque se volvería a morir de nuevo. ¡¡¡Madre mia que cosa mas horrenda!!!

[javestolino]

@gugolero Que bueno que no tengo mala suerte de conocerte, y te apostaria que si F Mercury la oyera apreciaria el esfuerzo, es mas horrenda tu critica destructiva

[gugolero]

@javestolino Sigo opinando que es sencillamente horroroso. De todas maneras feliz año nuevo.

[1ex1uger]

Rockin'!

[Thelopmol]

I could do better

[sunnyjim98]

@Thelopmol i also could do better

[javestolino]

@Thelopmol less words and more action.

[thebeatles240]

Killer Tone!!!!

How do you get the high harmonic screams right on the bends??

[perryg362]

@thebeatles240 hold the pick close to the pointy end and kind of hit it with your pick and fingertip at the same time. it takes a little practice. these are known as "pinch" harmonics. listen to some roy buchanan, he was the pinch harmonic master. hope this helps

[thebeatles240]

@perryg362 Hi, thanks for replying. I know what pinch harmonics are and how to use them, but i have actually recently found out that Brian May got his high screaming on his bends in bohemian rhapsody by using his neck and middle pickups out of phase, and also had a bit of extra phasing on there. He never used pinch harmonics.

[perryg362]

@thebeatles240 sure he did. you can hear it when he plays. i think i remember a while back he said he also uses an english coin with a flattened edge as a pick instead of a plastic or nylon pick

[nextyear89]

es una réplica de la red special?

[Nickhead87]

I always thought this guitar had way too many fret markers.

[LarsonLE89]

sick guitar

[danny95621]

cool guitar

[Bl0Odzstr7]

my ear is ringing

[shaindaman13]

That was Great!

[lvrxplt397]

excellent use of vibrato, distortion, and string/fret position... screw those who say too much this too little that... you hit it right on, and the guitar was a nice piece of eye candy to make the solo more believable....

Im a guitarist of over 40 years... there's my qualification... smiles

[ps10iceman]

@lvrxplt397 I could not of said it better or agree more. At 46 I had heard this solo more times than you can imagine . This is one of ,if not the best i haveever heard --enough said

anyone who thinks they can do better--please post your video and we can judge you

[poison6331]

the secret of good and old guitarist and put the maximum distortion and lower in the guitar's volume to lower the distortion

[ThisIsXTC]

288 hatersssssssssssssssssss

[tymo98]

@Royalchimps13 *red special*

[WillSG400]

Only critisism would be too much gain and treble :P but the play is great :) well done!

[rhymerc]

i broke my strings playing that it ruled tho

[kabitzer89]

Any monkey can learn the solo try playing the complete song

[guitboy63]

@kabitzer89 Not true! My monkey could only get the first couple of notes, and then he threw his feces at me!

[Capillus]

Wait! This guitar looks very familiar!

[plotchickens]

[Alvaro00071]

[Showtime745]

@Showtime745 Real guitar players don't play guitar to get ass, my friend.

[Showtime745]

@paintballer2630 just messin around Bro, its actuallly pretty cool haha

[cbrandom]

@Showtime745 You're obviously a complete dumbfuck. That's a replica of Brian May's guitar. You know, the guy who played the guitar in the song that this guy is covering?

[DescentFromHeaven]

You TOTALLY missed the slide at the beginning... THE simplest part =/

[hellomynameistj]

thi guitar is a cheap replica of mays for a start this one is plastic not wood

[thebeatles240]

@hellomynameistj No guitars are made of plastic.

[KaworuNagisange2]

[TheStationable]

Extra points for having the actual guitar. :)

[03D23036]

[darthbrewster]

@SuperChrisgee The switches are the same as Brian's on the replicas in and out of phase for each pickup 6 total and a volume and toner knob.

[ZontiBoy]

[ilirross]

[ns5963]

[kashmir33]

Chingón! saludos desde Chiapas.Obvio soy fan de Queen,solo que yo soy baterista.

[aeromusician]

Oye amigo, dónde conseguiste tu guitarra, esta chida la red special.

Saludos, tambiuen desde México

[WiggaMachiavelli]

It just doesn't sound as good without the bass, though.

[SirBrianCabrera]

where did you buy the guitar?

[TroubleClef2112]

Can I ask what's the deal with your guitars' fret inlays?

[SirBrianCabrera]

what do u mean that tone is wrong? thats it exactly. fags.

[PassionOfGuitar]

i think its just the camera mic thats making the tone sound bad o_ O

[guitarandskateguy]

weeey tocas con madre!

[Werderfreak97]

Too much Gain .... more feeling...

[PEHRE69]

de k marka es tu guitarra'

[Matiaz11]

Es una red special, hechas por brian may son filetes

[xXdZsN1p3rXx]

my ears are bleeding... but it feels good at the same time

[iamelvisman68]

that tone is the screaming sound thats so hard to get

[explicatus]

This is nothing like Brian's AC tone. This more like a Boss MT-2 played through a peavey bandit, he messes up on quite a few parts and doesn't have the vibrato down. Other than that it is okay.

[Reaper1984]

@explicatus

Then there's me, that have everything down, hehe.

[animegamergusi1227]

amazing

[GrozaBathrust]

too much treble and highs....

[phlizmo]

@GrozaBathrust thats the sound of the recording..

[emmetwhitey]

hey gr8 lesson man check out my lesson for the heavy rock riff tutorial and the breakdown parts  thanks

P.S This Is Not Spamming

[DavidAllenMcAllister]

que viva mexico!!! exelente interpretacion, donde conseguiste esa red special?

[Maich001]

bieeeen como coseguiste ese tono? checa mi cover de este solo!! y tmbn soy de Mexico :D

[irinayugiohfan]

YOU ROCK

[FreddieCheese]

Sonds as good as when Brian plays it, awesome

[airsoft25g]

crunchy

[culzo89]

Red special!!!!

[MooseStudios2009]

are you using a red special pedal???

[uplaterthanishouldbe]

Tone is fine. 

[imthecooliestin]

im going to practice this solo forever and learn it haha

[GuitarProSte]

@imthecooliestin - I learnt it just this week, try the one later in the song aswell, it's a lot harder, but sounds awesome when you get it right.

[leejames1982]

gay guitar, wrong tone. that is all.

[PoundcakePlaysMW2]

@leejames1982 Thats the guitar Brian may uses, the one he built with his bare hands, and the tone is fine, what your hearing is the fact that the camera isn't picking up any bass frequencies. That is all.

[Robotdrummerzzk]

@leejames1982 gay guitar? its a red special

[plasteg]

@leejames1982 But you can't do this.

[tdrider2008]

@leejames1982 u suck, guitar is amazing, right tone just a bad audio quality, you probably don't even play guitar

[leejames1982]

@tdrider2008 for your information ive been playing guitar for 14 years. i can play better than this guy LOL and i dont like his guitar or his tone. i am entitled to my opinion not everyone has the same taste in guitars and tone as you do mate. each to their own.

[tdrider2008]

@leejames1982 so that gives you the right to go around telling others they suck, he played it how bohemian rhapsody is supposed to be played on the same model it was played, so dont go looking up vids if you dont want a dead on performance

[leejames1982]

@tdrider2008 look i will admit he has got the tone almost close to bohemians tone and he is using the same guitar as they do, but all i said was that i like this song, but i dont like his guitar and i dont like his tone. but yes he played it reasonably well. thats my opinion and im entitled to it. and going by the highest rated comment on here 40 other people think his tone is painful to listen to. so im obviously not alone with my opinion.

[tdrider2008]

@leejames1982 so u call the guitar gay, also the second highest rated comment says its dead on and hte other one doesnt say its bad it just says its painful to listen too

[MrKellii]

@leejames1982 its the right tone actually

[elguapoization]

Where did you get that guitar?

[tdrider2008]

Love the red special guitar

[TesseractDigital]

I'm so confused by the fret markings

[sssc82]

its how the tone is, great job!

[Insightrockmysocks]

that was kick ass man :)

Great Queen sound.

Amazing control

and something Brian May would be proud to listen to! haha :)

[collana95]

I'm sure if that guittar can get uglier. but excelent playing. you inspired me to learn this beautiful solo

[KnOllEnSoN]

Great!! check my version.. =]
