Bohemian Rhapsody Freddie Mercury 1975 This is my acoustic take on the Queen classic Bohemian Rhapsody. It's based on this You Tube video posted in 2012 by Greg Wyard: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d9o6HnPa2GA This is the first of 5 parts to my arrangement - the iconic Intro section. My Part 1 video is here: https://youtu.be/ClGgMuq4dtk The other 4 parts are available as videos and as a pdf file with tab screen shots and annotations/advice on playing techniques etc. Email me for details: mlydiat@gmail.com I play this in G (as here); capo 3 if you want to play along with Queen (though you will need a cutaway acoustic for later sections!)
