Bohemian Rhapsody

I wanted to do this song for a while and post a straight Stick solo that I have not done in a while. I kept the arrangement fairly straight forward with a few places for ornamentation and improv.
Enjoy,
Bob

Bob Culbertson is a National Treasure. Magnificent music and dedication!

[@carpoforoguevara]

I must say... International

[@christophergulas-karaszews56]

I saw Bob at a craft show in Orchard Park, N.Y. playing under a tent selling some of his cd's about 15 years ago. I was blown away. He hasn't returned since then. I just am in awe. Love his playing.

I met him the same way in California a few years back. Spoke for quite a while. Very nice guy and so talented.

[@HRConsultant_Jeff]

I met him out in California at a show and we talked for about a half hour. He is such a nice man and really works hard at his craft. So talented and creative as well.

[@klarifoon]

Not only independent working hands, but also two independent working brainsides. Unbelievable skills.

[@Dragonstaff]

Such a deep and rich sound from one instrument! There are times in this when you would swear there are half a dozen instruments playing.

[@dugalmack]

So this was posted on my BD last year - wish I had known then - nice gift. I have only seen a Chapman Stick played twice live. As a guitarist for 54 years, and also playing 12-string for about 52 years, I am full of respect for anyone who has this knowledge of any fret-board, and in this case you are literally playing lead with both hands, either of which playing could stand on its own. It is truly amazing. D.

This explains that music is life since our hearts have beats. The ones who disliked this video don't understand how beautiful he played the chapman stick. Love the music! Totally an expert.

Lovely to hear you again after a long silence on you tube.Thanks for your post.Inspiring!!!

[@paulkelly8555]

[@LOLAP95]

You came to santa rosa california and played at our wednesday night market some years ago. I grew up watching you and kevin keith play in high school. Completely slipped my mind until recently but i have to say i was BLOWN AWAY to see you in person. You were extremely nice. Continue what you're doing we love it.

This is the best version of this song I’ve ever listened. 🌿 Your music is so inspiring. Thank you for sharing your talent with us. 🙏🏼

[@SmiteoPuzzles]

amazing to hear new arrangements from you, Bob!

[@vickielawson3114]

Fantastic!

[@IgorPomykaloEarlyMusic]

Absolutely fantastic, the greatest Bob, thank you!

[@stingerbee8346]

Would love to hear you and Brian May do a collaboration. :)

[@vickielawson3114]

That’d be too much brilliance for one project.

[@djrobotcitizen]

[@gregplaysthestick]

Cool, Bob!

[@globalfatmas]

This is amazing and I was eagerly waiting to hear how the stick handled the Wanynes world Heavy metal part.

[@austenj4539]

If Bohemian Rhapsody was written on the Stick in 1975, then I can guarantee that it would not be heading for its 50th anniversary in 2025. As with so much cherished music, it needed a band.

[@diggerdan4661]

AWESOME 😊

[@tedrees5989]

I see you played the old stick to death and got a new one. No wonder you are so expert.

[@Jaimetud]

I see this video pop up in my feed and I'm thinking "Wow, a Chapman stick. I saw a guy playing a Chapman stick once. Got his album and every...wait, that was THIS guy!" :P Nice work.

[@Weignater]

This is amazing!

[@amybradley2514]

It's a lovely version Parts of it sound very bluesy, which I suppose is rather appropriate.

[@shubhanshutiwaridude]

[@JoshL117]

[@RockStarOscarStern634]

Robert Culbertson How about Mark Brymer's arrangement of The Greatest Show transcribed for Chapman Stick Ensemble w/ the optional Original Choir Vocals.

[@davehemington6862]

Awesome!!

[@ulyssedugard]

wow ... you are a "killer of the Night", man, don't you knon ? !!!!!!!!!!

[@Astaroth236]

[@breakingthelaw8921]

[@thelaceyadair]

This is a amazing! Can this be purchased?

[@steveh7108]

Yes it can

[@Sabnock1990]

Any link for the background image at the beginning? Looks cool.

[@bocchi382]

어떻게 연주하는거지..

[@1LifeOnLine]

who put a dislike on this??

[@jkcope]

Someone with a lot more talent that has a much better rendition of this song they play on the Chapman stick. Translation: Four idiots disliked this. They probably prefer something with computerized drums and auto-tune on the vocals.

[@smorrow]

Now do Hungarian Rhapsody

[@ZufengW]

Beautiful arrangement. I'd love to see your take on Queen's Love Of My Life. (For example, kzbin.info/www/bejne/qYatnHaOepmmd6M) I think it would really suit this instrument and your playstyle.

[@dfp5116]

Amazing!!
