Bohemian Rhapsody (acoustic fingerstyle)

Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody played on solo acoustic guitar. The version is arranged by Kit Morgan (I've added alot myself but he should get the credit for it).

Of all the songs I've encountered this one is by far the most difficult one to play. If you don't believe me, just try the intro... ;)

well done do u have any tabs i want to learn this song please

[PekkaSyrjanen]

I don't have the tabs anymore but you should be able to find one on some website. Just search for Edgar Cruz or Kit Morgan tabs.

Now that is serious persistence ;) Epic both in technique, difficulty and memorisation...dedication beyond the cause. I think you'll like Naudos stuff because compared to that it is easy peasy :)

Hey quick question, you were doing a technique I have been trying out, wasn't sure if it is feasible in a song until just now - artificial harmonic while thumbing a bassnote. I have been trying it first finger touch third finger pluck - is that how you are doing it?

Keep up the good work!

JAW

Thank you!! :D

About the artificial harmonic technique: I developed it a couple of years ago and thought I had done something completely new (only to later see a couple of people do the same). It is done by simultaneously plucking the bass with your thumb, putting the first finger above a fret and plucking that string with the FOURTH finger. ;) You can see it pretty clearly at least on 01:06.

I'm really looking forward to Naudo covers! :)

You should be proud - great version.

[PekkaSyrjanen]

Thank you! Means a lot. :)

omg dude...this is very cool! I mean, it's basically the same as the original, but you're doing the vocal melody and the guitar/piano at the same time, with one instrument. Very nice, quite creative! I really love this. Good job!

[Heinousness]

good job dude
