I tried to recreate the unique sound of Brian May in this solo as well as the playing technique. Quite hard, you know, but I’m happy with the final result 😉 Bohemian Rhapsody is a masterpiece that have this short and so intensive guitar solo that I will never stop to love!

Good evening, I am Graham from Kansas City Mo. Thank you so much for making this available for every one to hear. I have played guitar for 30 years now and I agree with you how much the internet has changed so many things. I have had a Kemper for 2 years now and I am still amazed at what it can do. I have listened to Brian May for most of my life and even though I will never be able to play the way he does, just to sound close to how he does is enough. It is realy hard for me to use my kemper alone because I am totally blind and I am not smart enough to memorize all of the settings so your web page is a wonderful find. It started when I heard a 80s chorus profile that you did. Thank you so much.
Thanks a lot to you Graham for the comment! I’m very happy to be useful!
