Editorial Review:
This award-winning DVD showcases Edgar Cruz's notorious solo guitar arrangement of Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody. Also includes solo fingerstyle renditions of We Are The Champions, Killer Queen and Crazy Little Thing Called Love which are performed and then taught in great detail. Edgar demonstrates the process he uses to distill the essence of these rock classics with all of their familiar harmonies and orchestrations onto a single guitar. He covers all the techniques necessary to execute the difficult passages, and simplified variations are presented to make the arrangements accessible to students of many levels. Beyond the Queen titles, Edgar's unique approach and insight can be applied to literally any song you choose. Multi-angle DVD features streaming musical notation and tab on the alternate video track. Notation and tab is also printable from the disc. All arrangements in standard tuning. "...Edgar Cruz is a wizard. How else can one explain how he captures the sounds of an entire band and reduces them to a single guitar? It's that special gift, skill, magic - whatever you'd like to call it - that has produced such amazing solo guitar performances as Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody. If Cruz caught the attention of the guitar playing and listening world with that masterpiece, then that world had better brace itself..." - John Schroeter, Publisher, Fingerstyle Guitar Magazine
Winner of two Accolade Awards (best instructional/educational and best editing) as well as a nomination for the 2005 DVD Awards.

Absolutely awesome. Edgar's playing is unbelieveable and the teaching parts are very well done.
Rating: - excellent transcription
Best transcription of Rock-/Popmusic for classical solo guitar. I hope, that Edgar Cruz will extend his excellent work to other popular songs.
Rating: - Excellent
These arrangements are just amazing. Be warned though, they are NOT for beginners. Even if you are a fairly accomplished player, there is enough material here to keep you occupied for quite some time.
The DVD is very well put together, and all features are easy to locate and use. They've thought of everything. I love the fact that the sheet music is not only included as a printable PDF file, but the appropriate section can also be displayed on the video as it is being played and then ... Read More
Rating: - Absolutely brilliant
I have only been playing the guitar for about 3 months now, and despite my own reluctance to grab this due to what I figured was surely an insane skill level requirement, I was more than pleasantly surprised by many things.
First off, Edgar really is the whole package. Those who have seen him perform (just search for his name on Youtube and have your mind blown many times over) or heard his albums are well aware of him being one of the best guitarists alive. With this DVD, however, he ... Read More
Rating: - Edgar Cruz - Bohemian Rhapsody
Edgar Cruz is a master Artist of the guitar and with the content of this DVD he has created a work of Art that is a tribute to Freddie Mercury's genius.
Edgar Cruz's incredible talent lies not only in the arrangements and the playing of these pieces but also in the manner with which he explains the how, why and wherefore involved.
The DVD is multi-regional as befits a supreme multi-talented Craftsman.
