Edgar Cruz Bohemian Rhapsody at UCO Jazz Lab.avi

[@CaptainParatos]

Still rocking out to this masterpiece! Thank you very much for many decades of great music Edgar!

[@TheJudplay]

Cruz is a modern day master of the guitar. He can play rock or classical pieces with ease and understands both. How he does that without becoming some kind of show biz ego maniac is just a testimony to his genius.

[@frostmusicofficial]

Wow so cool, his mother is in the nursing home where my mom works and he will come and play. And the other day he wanted me to play Crazy Little Thing Called Love bassline (his favorite song is what he told me). He said it was awesome and he had picked up my bass and was showing me some cool techniques to practice more and showed me harmonic tuning which is really cool.

[@aj20100608]

Man it’s so amazing to watch people like this perform after spending years watching Edgar Cruz pave the way for these acoustic artists.

[@luizcadu]

This guy proves the guitar has no limits! Great arrangement!

[@robertdavidblakely]

It's not a perfect performance, but what he was able to do with a single guitar is pretty incredible. Even considering undertaking a project like this is pretty damn bold.

[@ramawahyudy243]

Cover guitar perrfect look chanel alip_ba_ta from indonesia,, he is good guitaris

[@ramligringgo4265]

Sorry... nothing compared to Alip Ba Ta.

[@robertpaul5065]

A masterpiece on nylon strings, never to be duplicated nor forgotten. Bravo!

[@yannookay]

it took me a year but I finally did it (with a few notes left behind here and there of course). Don't stop. It's very nice to finish this song

[@ericwarncke]

Edgar Cruz is a master.

[@irulregar2520]

Yes, have u see alip ba ta cover bohemian rhapsody (You tube)?

[@robinkarns7512]

I went to an Edgar Cruz concert in Enid, Oklahoma several years ago and it was such an enjoyable evening.

[@kalosp1]

I can't believe that he performs it in such a place. He deserve a LOT more. Amazing guitarist.

[@theovbear62]

If there is any better, I have yet to hear. This man is amazing.

[@erickraenaldo667]

Have you heard alif ba ta master finger style on youtube

[@Cotronixco]

Wow. The hours and hours and hours.

[@jrwarner5465]

Amazing what this guy did with this song. Absolutely brilliant!

[@charlesmclane6490]

That is FANTASIC................you are the Master.....Thank you

[@Nestorsteve]

edgar cruz , bravo lo q acavo de ver es algo fantastico yeeea

[@Duncan_Idaho_Potato]

Not only is this an amazing arrangement and a masterful performance but it also show just how harmonically complex this song is compared to the vast majority rock music in existence. They just don't write 'em like that anymore.

[@ufotofu9]

I am learning this now. It is difficult but very enjoyable. Thanks for the arrangement!!

[@BronchKevlar]

My freind and I had the honor to play with Edgar.It was the greatest experience in my guitar playing career.

[@jimmys511]

So beautifully done

[@MrZaf12]

what a wonderful arrangement ! i love this performance.

[@juang.martinez3351]

Edgar Cruz you are the best!

[@bernardoganitnit922]

This great and awsome love this guy edgar cruz The master of all masters

[@robertpaul5065]

Amazing that twice in the midst of this masterpiece performance that Edgar uptuned his e string.

[@julesmainman]

Edgar Cruz is the best at playing this, not only does he hit the notes better and with more feel hes the one that worked it out first

[@manDroidXX96]

That was pure musical genius

[@humbertocamargo]

MARAVILHOSOOOOOOO FANTASTICO. INCRIVELLLLLLLL

[@ryder0792]

AMAZING!!! absolutely brilliant

[@winstonsmith60626]

I don't think Brian May would dislike this, I think he would be flattered, honored, and impressed as any rational adult would. Bravo

[@ClassicalRay]

Simply AMAZING! 5 Stars!

[@NineteenSpirits]

The left hand spread at 4:34 cracks me up. And is impressive as hell.

[@blacksnake073]

I'm about to attempt learning this song and see this.. holy shit the chords,,,, messy it but its a crazy cover. id do a few small changes!

[@13Theworstwitch]

One of the best Classical Guitarist!!!

[@sircentromero]

far away from classical.

[@walxer77]

Very hard task Edgar. No great achievement is possible without persistent work. Congratulations!

[@Tatang3000]

Nice playing, I Love the song, love the arrangement and the playing.

[@decy5183]

I was 13 back then i first listened to this

[@180SXTYPE1]

Advancwd accompaniment and emotional playing, Great !

[@1RickyRamirez]

Amazing musician!!!

[@jeligula]

A quiet, respectful audience. That is a bit more rare than you would imagine for classical guitar, especially here in the US. He invited them to sing along and nobody did.

[@tom7601]

Maybe they didn't know the words... :>))

[@malditobajista]

tom7601 everybody know that song it's D SONG

[@bigphil088]

[@wesker6a6x6l94]

awesome!!!

[@rickyraveon]

@JebusTheHippie It's a great little venue! I need to get there nore often.

[@truestory0051]

4:34 what sorcery is this!

[@kenshinhimurabatusaieldest2823]

Es una posicion donde se hace un D+ y luego hace el D con el Bajo en G o sea decenduendo para caer al F# y pasar al A.... Lo que no entiendo es porque lo hace asi ....todos hacen el bajo en G en la 5 cuerda traste 10.....supongo que para aparentar nada mas

[@bangsate5621]

The best bohemian rhapsody guitar cover, nobody can best this cover unlike those 2ndrate alibapta.

[@kilik2049]

Awesome.

[@avelinojunie78]

BRAVO!!!

[@reatho8386]

damn right 'no description available' he is amazing

[@iyessocute]

Awesome..

[@djNsoMniaK]

great stuff wish i could play that id be showing off BIG TIME lol

[@Symphonication]

@kankanlovers3 I think it's only G chord with bass because he plays d tone on the tenth fret an before there's D chord.

[@intertribalalliancemovemen1587]

amazing

[@MartinRaetzJr]

Bravissimooo!!!

[@forresthowald8805]

This song is hard for full sized rock groups to perform on separate instruments and he pulled it off by himself....

[@shigalhammoud]

The bass note is not unnecessary. In fact, the name of a chord is determined by its bass note. That one string changes everything. For example, try playing a standard D chord (x00232), and play it again with the low e string on the second fret (200232). Huge difference in sound.

[@kennyleichtling2473]

Holy crap! Yeah, that would be hard to play totally clean, but still...wow!

[@yummy22543]

Oh my god this dude fucking rocks!!!! Thanks for posting the video!!! Fuck yes!!!!!

[@awesomesweetly]

nice.... that was nice

[@luvzmocha]

He sells an instructional DVD with tabs and standard notation!

[@wwjudasdo]

From 5:48 on it is pure melodic magic. Mercury was a great musician.

[@ignota25]

Awesome :)

[@gooadify]

Its called an artificial harmonic, he is touching the string at the halfway point between the fret and the bridge (12 frets above the fretted note) as he picks it, a pinch harmonic is a similar idea but it is achieved by a slightly different technique to what he is doing here....

[@gtrrobster]

@topdog2328 lowered 1/2 step I think.

[@siouxicidal951]

I could never stop biting my finger nails. but I love to play classical guitar. I guess I'll never acheive learning that song.

[@SmokinBillZ]

And he didn't break stride! Pretty awesome!

[@aldrinnoquiera2986]

the guitar actually sings.. wow

[@wwjudasdo]

Superb. If any man should be allowed to wear a pony tail, my vote is for this guy.

[@rahjeel]

So awesome. xD

[@xScreamToRisex]

i would be in front row screaming " WOOOHOOOOOO YEAH QUEEEN YEAHH WOOOHOOOO MAMAAAAAA I KILLED A MAN!".

[@andriraizansyah57]

Come to see Alip Ba Ta play Bohemian rhapsody too...

[@RishadanPortChess]

@goaliesrule3034 I don't think he was turning to alternate tunings. I think he was just correcting wasn't he?

[@babalvg]

HOLY SHIT!!!!!! if I had 12 fingers on each hand I couldn't have done this!
