Man! This guy can REALLY play. His execution of harmonics, melody, everything in this interpretation of Bohemian Rhapsody is EXCELLENT.
It also makes me want to throw my guitar out the freaking window! This is unbelievably skilled guitar work. Wow.
Oh, and he has an awesome Star Wars music compilation as well. And as a bonus, for once the comments section is comedy gold for Star Wars fans!
That was pretty good.
I can appreciate his talent but still say, I don’t agree with every transcription choice he made. A couple spots seemed rough. Maybe there’s just nothing else that can be done on just a bass. I did like how how covered the gong part. 
And it’s fascinating to see how much bass strings move.
I really enjoyed it. Reading the comments on Facebook, many are critical of his technique in that he’s being soulless and overly technical.
I thought the taps, harmonics, etc added rather than detracted from this interpretation. And man, playing at that level of technical proficiency took this guy so many hours of practice to perfect I can’t even imagine it.
I do think that he’s using lighter style strings for sure, and probably a higher tuning too.
Watch the Star Wars one. It’s pretty epic.
Pretty darned awesome. And that’s more awesomeness than any of my bass guitars will ever see.
I don’t know if it’s the sound or his technique, but it really seems like he has classical guitarist roots.
I was trying to figure out what in the world was going on there–as in what the deal was that everything sounded an octave higher and more like an acoustic guitar or something than it should–and then I read in the comments that there’s such a thing as “piccolo” strings for bass guitars that put it an octave up. Now everything makes a little more sense to me. I was just so darned confused as to how an electric bass could sound like that (I meant sonically, not by the virtuosity of the player.)
Anyhow, cool stuff.
The harmonics and hammer-ons were cool. It was just a couple places I thought the original tune got lost. Maybe one or two places the timing was off.
I’m obviously being super critical, but a total transcription to another instrument invites these comments. There’s a reason there were four people in the original recording, after all. 
I forgot to add- I loved the homages to the original Queen video. Nice touches.
And the fact it’s a mutli-camera video gets a thumbs up. I watched an eight minute technical video of a guy rebuilding a distributor that could have benefited from an editor (and a bit of rehersal!). So this BR video is way above the standard for youtube!
I felt that way listening to it also. I think it’s the way he chooses to voice certain passages and the way he knows the chording progressions he’s using.
Yeah, I ended up seeing that about piccolo strings for bass. Learn something new every day: I had no idea such a thing existed for that instrument, nor what it sounded like until today.
I thoroughly enjoyed it also.
Am I the only one who read “bass” in the thread title as the fish?
Are you picturing like, 20 bass laid out like a xylophone, each one has a different tone?
Or like a Billy Bass? “Scaramouch! Scaramouch!” out of an animatronic fish?
LOL, that would be vastly preferable to what those things normally belt out.
