Arranging for Solo Guitar: The Queen Titles
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..."
