QUEEN - "bohemian rhapsody6" Tablature
Official QUEEN Tablature & Sheet Music »
this song is really more complicated than the other posted tabs have it. this arrangment is
more accurate (though not 100%).
the section i tabbed is the real head-banger section (the car scene in wayne's world)
there are three guitar parts, so in order to play this accurately you will need a couple of
friends.

that's pretty close. if there are parts that don't make sense, listen to the song
several times, and if those parts don't clear up, figure it out yourself.
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.
