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!
James Bartholomew Amazing job mate will you upload a tab on this one?? We would really appreciate it :))
James Bartholomew why did they do that tho
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 😐
James Bartholomew We need a tutorial, sir.
Could you please upload a tutorial for your "perfect" cover from Ed sheeran
I looked at my guitar while watching this and it laughed at me

Yeah i do
Oh my! His fingers have minds of their own! Pure talent!
That’s what she said
Absolutely breathtaking how you managed to play such a difficult and long piece in such a clear, harmonious and errorfree way. It must have taken ages to reach that level of virtuosity!
1st Watch: *Wow that was amazing*

Crazelord91 this is such an underrated comment
Wow that was amazing 😂
Up you go !
Wow that was amazing
Crazelord91 Wow that was amazing
This is absolutely genius! If this ever gets taken down it will be a crime against music.
If this got taken down too, I might just give up 😅
agreed
It cant be copyright right claimed lol no original soundtracks were used 😂
This should not be taken down. He's just a poor boy from a poor family
The question is: who has jurisdiction in RUclips town? Music, or copyright?
He amazingly hits every major thing: the chords, arrangement, actually PLAYING it flawlessly, rhythm, guitar tone, recording quality, perfect mix and great camera angles so we can see from several viewpoints that we’ll never be able to pull this off.
Hall of fame for this gentleman! Holy shit. I can hear the lyrics, I can imagine Freddie smiling and just cry a little bit because this is so f**king beautifully done. You sir are a guitar god.
OK, I've my capo on 3rd fret, what's the next step?
LOL I guess it will stay like that for both of us
Bamber Mauleverer sell it
The next step is color your guitar like his
Sell it away because we all know we are just holding our guitar back from its true potential

The accuracy, precision and clarity..... sooo good ❤️. Loved itttt 😍😍
I liked the part where he played the guitar
edit: i have never had this many likes before. um thank you

Yeah me too! Also the part with the fingers and the strings and stuff.

That is one heck of a song to play on just a guitar. Cannot imagine the hardwork that must've ended in this beautiful piece. I heard every single word. Love and respect.
Laboni Chatterjee its veryyy hard to play trust me!
People play Claire de lune on guitar, which is much harder than this. Anything is possible.
BlocknBoom! Fingerstyle playing incorporating layers of music; bass, guitar, vocals, and even percussion. It is quite impressive, and i don’t think anyone is retarded for thinking it was difficult.
Max he isnt doing vocals at all? He does the melody, bass and percussion ...
@@blocknboom9353 Ok so can't wait to see your version of this on your channel soon?
Wow! That was amazing! I’m speechless! This is gonna be my inspiration for learning finger style. One of life’s great moments just watching you play.
I Ran out breath watching you playing that guitar. Played perfectly.
I can't understand why someone would dislike this video. The guitar playing ability and composition is objectively impressive.
Jealousy
Lack of taste?
Agreed. Astronomical skill on full display.
So that people can make comments like these
Or they dislike bcs the tab need to buy first
I'm calling aimbot on his fingers.
probably using shroud's one 😝😝

He can do things with his guitar that is absolutely amazing I’ve been playing since I was 13 years old and I’m 41 and he puts me to shame and most other guitarists and I’m talking about rock stars as well. Great job!!
I’m looking at my guitar and it’s like:
“Don’t you dare!”
Mine just said 'bring it dummy'...
Wht not try?
😅😅
I don't even have one coz I can' t play it😁
That guitar is a paid actor!!
SVS WORLD I always like seeing these comments lol. They make my day
Fake. You are a paid commentator.
Why is this not trending? People should hear this. This would make the world a better place.
i am speechless, no words to describe how good he played...
This is golden, I literally burst into smile during this video
I can't imagine how much time it took to figure this out.
Worth it tho.
I play your music for my students during my art and computer graphics classes while they are working on their projects. They love it, I love it, keep up the good work! You have a beautiful gift.
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.
So clean and smooth. The guitar is singing. 😍
Expectation:
I played this song to a girl
Reality:
I’m still single but she married my guitar
Haha look good,,love a guitarr😁
Lol 😂
Sadlife 😥😥sorry
Then escape from reality 🤣

@@tam7933 how did nobody notice? Feel embarrassed now
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.
@@tam7933 thank you senpai
Maurits Spijker all good
Absolutely brilliant!..love the arrangement. Many thanks for sharing.
Wow I could have a lifetime to practice this one song only and would not be able to play that half as good. Brilliant.
It was a fingerstyle of BR but can still hear them singing in my head. Gallileo Gallileo
Glenn Jerry Bagacay Jr. How many more Galileo do we need???? 🤣🤣🤣
Who else heard Freddie's voice?
Because I heard him sing every word..
😢 Miss you Freddie 😢

I sung it by myself

Three months in and I've just stated working on page 4 of the 12 page score from music notes. Very challenging but lots of fun. At this rate it'll be performance ready by next July. The effort is well worth it. Thanks again, James. Your work is inspirational.
Hearing a solo guitar play the operatic section really shows what a genius Freddie was to write something this complex, not just by the standards of rock music, but also by the standards of most classical pieces. Great work.
*queen Freddie didn't write Brians guitar parts
@@eladoh5855freddie composed bohemian rhapsody, brian may just played his guitar, but tbh every member of queen are very talented in song writing
@@YTerCai_V4 didnt he dream about this solo?
@@eladoh5855 brian wrote the solo but everything else was freddie
@@eladoh5855 btw the comment is talking about the operatic section not the solo
Hi James....you are a magician with the strings...heard atleast 50 different bohemian guitar covers but you are extraordinary...u dont belong to this planet..u r not human at all...supernatural...would listen to your music for hours...God bless u...
Im frm India...and Freddie is an icon here...
*Freddie* 'this does puts a smile on my face'
Perfectly balanced, as all things should be.
Thanos?
So touching. Best guitar cover of this song I've heard
wow..blown away......Huge Queen fan and Freddie would have been proud of this.
Masterpiece, dude.
WOW! the best fingerstyle guitar cover of Freddie Mercury's masterpiece I've ever watched on You Tube. You're so good.
BRAVO!
5:10 An incredible example that perfection needs mistakes, I was amazed watching the video, I enjoyed every second
This just pure genius. Lost for words.
Freddie gonna be happy.
But he dead
yes Freddie is dead, but he will be happy when people play his songs.
freddie be smiling from heaven
@@luukasrannila1552 there's no heaven to a gay person
Fadel Ramadhan Do you really think that? What a moron.
That guitar solo was epic. When I mean guitar solo I mean the whole video.

I think you mistaken me with another person. Just because I have a poon addict doesn't mean I'm Lewis.
Didn’t expect to see a fellow Yognau(gh)t here
@@soldierlyranger You can see me on Bethesda's Country Roads video comment section.
Lmao I’ve been watching yogscast since shadows of israphal, amazed to see some fans here
Jaw-dropping magic of fingers!!
Exquisitely performed!
Best Bohemiain rhapsody fingerstyle cover on youtube, and I watched them all. In fact every song you cover it's the best on youtube
So you've never seen the Edgar Cruz version...
You should try to watch this man: Alexandr Misko
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.
Look for Fabio Lima and try not to watch all his videos
Gabriel MB fabio is okay, but in my opinion, and this is just my opinion, I much much prefer James cover, I do like fabios cover as well tho.
Omg I’m speechless it was just amazing!! Wow wow
Heard after 20 yrs this kind of pureness in music .... Just loved it 😍😍😍😍
If Freddie Mercury were alive I would be proud to hear this beautiful version. you are very good friend Cheers
Not sure whether it motivates me to imrpove my guitar skill playing (because it sounds so great) or to sell my guitar (because I'll never get at this level)
Sell the guitar bro
Dont sell it work hard you will sound great
You'll get there!
If he can you can

Jerome true story i've sold many of guitars put it down mutiple times just couldn't get the timing down couldn't get rythm down pissed me off!!!! but i was determined then one day i finally started playing a song and everything came together it finally sounded like the song lol I got my timing in rythm down... now 6 yrs later i play religiously i can play pretty much any song i want some i cant.. but Long story short bro sell your guitar you will never get on his level fucking noob!!!
fantastic rendition. anyone who as " disliked" this doesnt know anything about guitaring and musicianship. Great job james and you have just gain another subscriber.
My last treat before sleep - you are utterly amazing. Thank you for all your work to bring us such joy.
Congratulations..!!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
You did it really well with a very complex musical piece!!!
It’s very nice to hear... and you achieve a very beautiful sound..!!!
damn, smoother than a butter! You really nailed the cover. This one deserve more views and praise!
Obed Christian this is what I hate about the world in general. If he were a blonde girl , he’d have been in tv by now . This is absolute genius
@@sachinpaul2111 a blonde girl can't do this....
Pelikulayan - Pinoy Movies Talk then who gets million views how they get
@@swapnanilnag3713 Blonde girls can get a million views easily with minimal talent. What I'm saying is I've never seen one do an original arrangement of a hard to play song like this at this level.
Pelikulayan - Pinoy Movies Talk oh understood thank u 😊
Dude this was just so bloody good. Don't know how else to put it , gonna be on repeat forsure
Nice touch using the harmonics instead of normal notes, and also the the percussive slaps throughout. Bravo Sir!
I was going to look for the sheet music for this until I saw you play it. I think I’d better leave this for now. That was seriously seriously well done.
Absolutely amazing! Now you can say you are a real master of the acoustic guitar. Genius.
fun fact: i just gave you applause over my laptop screen.
Fabio Gunanda that’s not a fun fact bro
so did I!
jealous people
mee too!
Share mo lang?
Simply genius , great playin and very innovative yeah ! You rock bro hope Queen sees this they’d love it
That is so awesome!! Excellent!!!👏👏👏
este joven es un gran maestro de la guitarra, que bien se escucha y con una sola guitarra felicidades y gracias por deleitarnos con esa excelente melodía
"the guitar is singing"
Yes lol
I have literally never heard anything as beautiful as this and yes.....i am jealous.
Unbelievably good. Thank you.
I never imagined this song can be played by a guitar alone. You are amazing, sir! 👏
Harmonic part was very very difficult but u did it... that was awsome..
Imagine recording this and making a mistake after 5 minutes of nailing it ._.
Editing is a thing lol
DAW
That may be the blessing of not being _that_ incredibly good. If I record some guitar playing, 'scrap' it is if the density of mistakes per time exceeds a certain level. Much fuzzier criterion! Here though, yeah, as said before, editing may be a thing. Unless a pathological sense of honor also enters the mix.
That's a real pain 😂
Beauty
THIS IS FREAKING AMAZING!!!!!!!
Best part was from 0:00 - 6:14
Agreed
Man, that was whe whole playing time haha and I agree tho!
Confirmed
JellyJam 88 the worst part was 0:00 cause it started... that’s a joke I loved it
my hero :D
This is so difficult... How could you dislike?
People who tried this but broke a string, which poked their eye out, which sent them to a hospital. Which ultimately cost them too much money. So they had to sell off their guitar anyway.
Bots
@@TTundragrizzly how can they broke string while playing ive never do that i broke strings if i tune up
@@TTundragrizzly wait hold up💀
The time you put into this is so impressive! Extremely well done
Salute to this man,wat a talent, ....he and his guitar became 1,hid hardwork passion and dedication are the best
So majestic😍 you can actually hear the lyrics
Who in their right mind would down vote this? This is the best rendition I've ever heard. Mad respect to this guy for his playing ability. Absolutely stellar performance.
I love how simple he makes it look but in reality hes doing some mad shit
The hours it would take!!! Respect! Anything can be transcribed but learning it..time
Completly finish the whole song took me 2 months thx for uploading man best cover ever.
Wow u must be amazing at the guitar to have learnt such a difficult piece
Enjoy this a lot. Your fingers are like dancing on the fretboard.
Outstanding , never seen better than this
Absolutely mindblowwing. You are truly amazing. Such dexterity.
Oh wow that was fantastic! I think this is my fave cover youve done! Beautiful , beautiful... what a rollercoaster of a ride....so many emotions .... i totally appreciate how much work you put into this 😃👍
1.5x speed = animal crossing
1.75x speed = Pokémon

It’s actually pretty accurate. XD
Lol I think I just awakened smth 😂😂
1.5 sounds like legend of zelda
ahahahha 🤣😂
How could you?
One of the best musical piece i can say!
I just have to say one word, just one.. Amazing!!!
After over a year of playing this song, I finally have it memorized, but... his tone is unbelievable and I still am in awe.. great job james
Wow, you nailed it all memorized! Great rendition! and thank you for the nice music!
The gems you find during global isolation. This gave me chills!
That’s insanely good. Simply Amazing
Un-be-lievable. Amazing gift.
I never fully comprehended how complicated and difficult this song is until watching this video. Amazing guitar playing.
Whoah!!! I just became offically a fan. Simply amazing! Hats off to you my firend! Pure talent.
The dude that invented the guitar must've never thought this shit was possible lol

Beautiful! I believe that Freddy lives every time this song is performed. In my opinion, this is the best song of the history. Thanks Queen, thanks Freddy and thanks a lot for every artists who plays Queen's music.
