Hi EC,
wow man...gotta hand it to you on those arrangements.
i bought the DVD wondering with the usual doubts....'can he really pull it off?'
And my response is YES, and then some....your Q takes are among the most accurate and complete of the many fingerstlye arrangemtns i have ever heard or tried to learn.
It is one thing to be able to play them (which i hope to do in a year or so) but another to develop the parts themself....quite a musical brain you have there!
with respect..and i must add envy as well :)

Dear Edgar,
There was an advertisement in Guitar Acoustic World and I , like you am a Queen fanatic -since I heard B.R one day in 1976( They were amazing in person)
Id like to know if there will be any more tutorial dvds. The format with the scrolling tabs make it easier to attempt - your explanations are clear and I use books, dvds and cds that help in my teaching- you should do one on the Beatles -they're arent any good that I've bought and I know that you could do it right.
Regards, Steve Elk

Hi Edgar,
I just got your DVD for myself as a Christmas gift. It is the best instructional DVD I have ever purchased. The songs are very exciting and your teaching is great. The tab is great and the DVD is so well filmed. The two screen view is excellent....Best Wishes George Canizales, Jr.

  • Amazing-Edgar Cruz
    author: Inge Visser

    After watching 'Bohemian Rhapsody' on youtube for over a year, I finally had the nerve to order the DVD. AND BOY, AM I HAPPY THAT I DID! I thought I would need a year to be able to play BR but thanks to the printable sheet-music (and tabs) and the tips and trics on the DVD I can now (5 weeks after receiving the DVD) get throught until the end. Obviously it's not good enough yet (and not everything is up to speed) but now I'm sure I will get there (and will not need a whole year ;). The way Edgar arranged it and plays it is absolutely amazing!!! For everyone who doesn't have the latin/hispanic temperament (like me): You can also play this arrangement in a more 'classical' way and that is also very beautiful. For everyone who thinks their hands are too small to make this arrangement happen: I am a girl and my hands are 'normal' female size, so with a lot of disciplin it can ben done... must admit on 2 occasions I leave out 1 note of the harmonics but I will work them in there at a later stage and if I can't.... probably nobody will notice except Edgar himself. Thank you Edgar Cruz for sharing your talent and thank you CD baby for the fine delivery! Inge Visser (Netherlands)

    "Edgar Cruz is a wizard" Lessons cover the techniques necessary to execute the difficult passages of the titles. Notation and tab is also printable from the disk. In my oppinion this disk is a must have for all guitar lovers. Thank you Edgar ! Thank you cdbaby ! Best regards

    Great DVD, very instructional. I'm striving to reach the talent level needed but it has inspired me to actually formally "practice" harder than I have in years. To clarify the comments from Mark Blu, you CAN print the music and tab from the DVD, and you can split the screen and show the tab and music on the screen.

    Fantastic DVD. Really easy to follow, really cool arragements of the Queen songs. Very inspiring! This DVD has helped me push my abilities with the guitar hugely. A real challenge - just what I needed! Thanks Philip

    Queen on classical guitar - wow. After seeing Edgar on Youtube play Bohemian Rhapsody, I had to have the sheet music. So I bought the DVD, got it in 8 days and I'm well into learning BR. I hadnt in the past paid much attention to howto DVDs, but Edgar's discussions as he played through each piece was brilliant. I can highly recommend this DVD and the accompanying 40 pages of music notation for the advanced classical guitarist. Any more Edgar? Trevor

  • Super Edgar!

    First, I would like to say how pleased I am with the service of CD Baby. I was particularly pleased with the email reminder service letting me know the CD I wanted was available. The order system was easy and the CD arrived exactly when it was supposed to. And not a minute too soon.... Once I played this incredible video, I was in awe. The playing is truly amazing. The instruction is perfect. The tablature is flawless. I would highly recommend this video and CD Baby. As a matter of fact... I have recommended them both!!

    Hello CD baby team, I am very satisfied with your service. The ordered DVD arrived very fast (Germany) and the selling price is very good. Please, carry on so. In any case I will recommend you to all of my friends. The ordered DVD is fantastic and I can learn very much from it. It's really the best learning DVD I ever had. Regards, Claus Ganzenmüller from Germany

    amazing performance

  • A wonderful lesson in arrangement, technique and musicality.
    author: Mark Blu

    I found this DVD to be incredibly instructive. Edgar Cruz has painstakingly captured almost every nuance of the original music of Queen for solo guitar performance. He shares the how he approaches arrangement for guitar. His descriptions of guitar technique are very valuable, particularly to those of us not schooled in classical guitar. While DVD is a very good medium for teaching guitar, I would have really appreciated it if either notation or tablature were included with the package - or even available for separate purchase. Play, rewind and pause can be a bit tedious. Then again, Edgar does highly recommend that we get the original sheet music and recordings for comparison.
