How to play Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen on guitar

Bohemian Rhapsody is a great song to learn because it feels dramatic and memorable from the first chord. At about 72 BPM, you have room to shape the changes and make the progression feel confident rather than rushed.

You will move between open shapes and barre shapes, so the main challenge is keeping your left hand relaxed while switching cleanly. The opening move from A# to Gm to Em to F is the change to watch closely, since it asks for quick shifts between harder and easier grips.

Start by looping the opening progression slowly, then add the next chord changes one at a time until they feel automatic. After that, play through the full song at a steady pace, and only speed up when every change sounds clear.

Use the play-along above to follow each chord change in time with the music, or learn the shapes first with the chord diagrams below.
