Hey y'all!

Ever wondered what makes Brian May's Bohemian Rhapsody solo SOAR, SING, and SCREAM!?! Its the power of the prebend! There are SO many notes in this solo that aren't simply fretted, but blindly bent up before being picked. But why??? Thats what we're gonna talk about today! The third reason is one nobody ever seems to talk about, but it makes all the difference in the world. Get into it!

TAB for my transcription is included below. You'll notice i've tabbed out a few parts in different positions than what i've showed in the video, but trust the TAB! I did a little investigating before writing it out, and found these to be the correct positions based on how he's played it in the past. Dig it!!!

Bonus video is coming in a few, stay tuned! Its a winner!

Cheers, y'all!
