Here's my take on Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody! A lot of work went into this one so I hope you enjoy it. If you do, consider sharing it with a friend!
In other news, you may have heard or seen that Universal Music took down my Hotel California Cover. It was a big setback as that video was getting about 10, 000 views a day. Any support on this video would be extra appreciated to help make up for losing that video!

[NeilWickerMusic]

This is absolutely genius! If this ever gets taken down it will be a crime against music.

[louiereyes]

Oh my! His fingers have minds of their own! Pure talent!

[labonichatterjee]

That is one heck of a song to play on just a guitar. Cannot imagine the hardwork that must've ended in this beautiful piece. I heard every single word. Love and respect.

[Crazelord]

I can't understand why someone would dislike this video. The guitar playing ability and composition is objectively impressive.

[bambermauleverer]

OK, I've my capo on 3rd fret, what's the next step?

[matthias]

Absolutely breathtaking how you managed to play such a difficult and long piece in such a clear, harmonious and errorfree way. It must have taken ages to reach that level of virtuosity!

[Crazelord]

It was a fingerstyle of BR but can still hear them singing in my head. Gallileo Gallileo

[ryanlarrabee]

I looked at my guitar while watching this and it laughed at me

[bearedirish]

Hall of fame for this gentleman! Holy shit. I can hear the lyrics, I can imagine Freddie smiling and just cry a little bit because this is so f**king beautifully done. You sir are a guitar god.

[earthfranz]

Why is this not trending? People should hear this. This would make the world a better place.

[nathanterry]

I play your music for my students during my art and computer graphics classes while they are working on their projects. They love it, I love it, keep up the good work! You have a beautiful gift.

[mihirahuja]

The accuracy, precision and sooo good ❤️. Loved itttt 😍😍

[Joramjonah]

*Freddie* 'this does puts a smile on my face'

[moisesflores]

Is this the real life?
Is this just fantasy?
Caught in a landslide
No escape from reality
Open your eyes
Look up to the skies and see
I'm just a poor boy, I need no sympathy
Because I'm easy come, easy go
A little high, little low
Anyway the wind blows, doesn't really matter to me, to me

Mama, just killed a man
Put a gun against his head
Pulled my trigger, now he's dead
Mama, life had just begun
But now I've gone and thrown it all away
Mama, oh oh 
Didn't mean to make you cry
If I'm not back again this time tomorrow
Carry on, carry on, as if nothing really matters

Too late, my time has come
Sends shivers down my spine
Body's aching all the time
Goodbye everybody I've got to go
Gotta leave you all behind and face the truth
Mama, oh oh (anyway the wind blows)
I don't want to die
Sometimes wish I'd never been born at all

I see a little silhouetto of a man
Scaramouch, Scaramouch will you do the Fandango
Thunderbolt and lightning very very frightening me
Gallileo, Gallileo, Gallileo, Gallileo, Gallileo, figaro, magnifico

I'm just a poor boy and nobody loves me
He's just a poor boy from a poor family
Spare him his life from this monstrosity
Easy come easy go will you let me go
Bismillah, no we will not let you go, let him go
Bismillah, we will not let you go, let him go
Bismillah, we will not let you go, let me go
(Will not let you go) let me go (never, never let you go) let me go (never let me go)
Oh oh no, no, no, no, no, no, no
Oh mama mia, mama mia, mama mia let me go
Beelzebub has a devil put aside for me for me for me

So you think you can stop me and spit in my eye
So you think you can love me and leave me to die
Oh baby can't do this to me baby
Just gotta get out just gotta get right outta here

Oh oh oh yeah, oh oh yeah
Nothing really matters
Anyone can see
Nothing really matters 
Nothing really matters to me
Anyway the wind blows

[jeromevialard]

Not sure whether it motivates me to imrpove my guitar skill playing (because it sounds so great) or to sell my guitar (because I'll never get at this level)

[sanjaymukherjee]

Hi James....you are a magician with the strings...heard atleast 50 different bohemian guitar covers but you are extraordinary...u dont belong to this planet..u r not human at all...supernatural...would listen to your music for hours...God bless u...
Im frm India...and Freddie is an icon here...

[jeffwisener]

I can't imagine how much time it took to figure this out.

[you_were_the_chosen_one]

Hearing a solo guitar play the operatic section really shows what a genius Freddie was to write something this complex, not just by the standards of rock music, but also by the standards of most classical pieces. Great work.
