Those who have
witnessed Cruz's performance immediately become entranced at the precision,
speed and complexity of his guitar arrangements that create a symphony
of sound unusual to just one instrument. He is a National Guitar
Fingerpicking Champion with more than ten solo CD's to his
credit, and is featured frequently on ABC, NBC, CBS and PBS-affiliate
stations. His instructional video entitled "Arranging for Solo Guitar – The Queen Titles"
is now on DVD featuring his renowned solo guitar arrangement of Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody. "...Edgar
Cruz is a wizard. How else can one explain how he captures the sounds
of an entire band and reduces them to a single guitar? It's that
special gift, skill, magic – whatever you'd like to call it
– that has produced such amazing solo guitar performances
as Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody. If Cruz caught the attention of the
guitar playing and listening world with that masterpiece, then that
world had better brace itself..."
