QUEEN - "bohemian rhapsody4" Tablature
Official QUEEN Tablature & Sheet Music »
I didn't tab this myself, and I have no idea who did. But it is such a great song, It thought it best to share it all with you. It's hard, and does take a lot of practice, but the results are incredable. Enjoy

No, this is not merely the Brian May guitar solo transcription, but rather
a tab of a classical guitar version I heard on the radio.
However, it includes all of May's guitar work, Mercury's vocal melody
as well as the piano lines, so it will serve the needs of anyone who wants
to learn the underlying elements of this masterpiece. I also threw in the
lyrics for good measure. It has one of the best pseudo-classical outros
I've ever heard.
(except for maybe Roundabout)

This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP, representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are "hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the official QUEEN tablature which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route. These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the NY Times Article. We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
