Queen — Bohemian Rhapsody on classical guitar (Edgar Cruz’s arrangement)

The genius of Queen on a single instrument. This arrangement of “Bohemian Rhapsody” for classical guitar is by Edgar Cruz, and here’s my take on it. It’s a tough piece to play solo — everything has to fit on six strings: the ballad, the opera and the rock — but it’s a masterpiece that has always fascinated me.

A note for the sharp-eared guitarists: shortly before the recording I changed the guitar’s nut to lower the string action, which is why you can hear some fret buzz in a few passages.
