    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!

      They’re super touchy over Eagles stuff, they normally block them in the US but for some reason blocked mine globally... They were earning from it, like $750 a year probably so I don’t really see what they have to complain about 😐

      Edgar is the OG, but it's nice seeing James write another version, especially using the capo. He transcribed the song perfectly, and it doesn't require some of the harder chord shapes that Edgar uses. Plus James added his own kinda style with the slap-scratches.

    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

      Maurits Spijker it’s alright, don’t be embarrassed, we’re all imperfect and make mistakes at points. I don’t know why but if I see something wrong with someone’s spelling, punctuation or grammar, I get triggered and then that makes me want to point it out.

    I've wanted to learn this piece on guitar for some time. By happy coincidence, I purchased your arrangement from music notes and then found it here on you tube. This constitutes the perfect combination of sheet music interpreted by visual and aural display. It's a lovely arrangement. I do expect learning to play it fluently make take quite a while but with the resources you've provided, I'm confident that I'll get there eventually. Thank you so much.
