I remember someone describing Mr. Crowley as "The National Anthem of Guitar Solos" and im like, yeah. 100% it is. Its everything a guitar solo should be. Its technical, yet musical. It builds upon itself and has a distinct progression from start to finish. Its as timeless as anything out there, you could release that tomorrow and it would still turn heads.
Jon Donais from Shadows Fall. I just checked page 10 of my Guitar Legends magazine featuring Randy Rhoads. Couldn't think of a better description of this solo myself.
Mr Crowley is like the England vs Argentina match in the 1986 world cup. In that match Maradona scored two of the most talked about goals in the history of the sport and the other one featured ”the hand of god”. Well, Mr. Crowley has two of the most talked about solos in the history of traditional heavy metal and definitely ”the hand of god” must have been there when Randy was playing those solos.
Everyone says evh, steve vai, and jo satriani are the greatest ever, but Randy had a style that no one else had. He had something that everyone wishes they had today. his songs are masterpieces. You can do all the sweeps and play as fast as you want but no one can be Randy. Same with Dime. Skill doesnt equal good music and songwriting.
IMO the only thing Randy was deficient in compared to them was time. If he were still alive and had been making music over all these years I think MANY folks would reorder their assessments of 'top' guitarists of all time.
uh...EVH had a style all his own. so does Vai. they are all great. technically, you could take points AWAY from Randy because a lot of what he did, and does here in the Mr. Crowley solos, is rip off classical composers almost phrase by phrase. Eddie didn't do that. when the %$@& have you heard the beginning of Mean Street in your life? who else had tone like the beginning of Unchained? and the cradle will rock? YEAH, i'm SURE you heard that beginning before my eye. try to replicate the original track of Panama tone for tone. try it. you can't do it. i haven't heard ANYONE on youtube come close. are you actually going to sit there and say Randy could outplay Steve Vai and Ywgwie Malmsteem ? like...really? are you really going to make that claim?
@@markdawsonziglar9436 Randy's career started in 1978 with Quiet Riot. by the time Diary of a Madman came out, Eddie Van Halen had 3 platinum albums and 1 of 2 Diamond albums released. most great guitarists do there best work well before 30. Led Zeppelin released I-IV before Page was 28 years old. Randy and Eddie were basically the same age. if Randy kept going, we may have gottne 1-2 more albums out of him but he wanted to go back to school, get his PhD and become a professor. so we might not have gotten much out of him. artists don't have unlimited creativity, especially musicians. as a rock star, you are more than fortunate if you have 3-4 great albums in you
Please, keep going with the "This Is How You REALLY Play" series!! Is so fucking good to get the 'missed details' and to note the characteristics of each guitar player!!
Mr. Crowley isn't just Ozzy's best song; it's also arguably the catalyst for what would become neoclassical metal. And for that I say God bless you, Randy!
@@demigod1013I don't know what Max Norman was thinking on either of those tracks. He should've let the tape run until Randy put his guitar back in the case! 😅
As redundant and I may sound but... Let's talk about how clean your execution is! Man this solo is not easy and you could hear every single goddamn note... Impressive!
I’ve suffered for years on the Bach’s inventions because my piano teacher loved them and forced me to play them all. Almost had PTSD of Bach at the end. But then Randy showed me you can make something beautiful with Bach’s inventions. Anyone who played them on piano will recognised some pattern in Mr Crawley.
One of the greatest solos ever written and played of all time as far as I’m concerned. Brad, might I just say as well that your tone is fucking brilliant as well! 🤘🎸
These otherworldly solos give you goose bumps and an adrenaline rush at the same time! Still a peerless guitar player 42 years after his death. Your execution is amazing on these as always.
@@somethingbl I thought so but didn't bother Googling it and I never studied the nuances of who played on which old album from grade skool cuz I didn't actually care that much cuz I just play SLAYER and my comment still stands that it's a great album.
@somethingbl Eh, Jake E. Lee was still a very underrated guitarist, especially amongst all of Ozzy's collaborators. Bark At The Moon is my favorite Ozzy solo album, and a big part of that is due to Lee's contributions to the songwriting and guitar work. That being said,
Good breakdown, since learning the song I've noticed I've started just randomly shredding certain parts of the solo, I know it pretty well but some of the finer details I needed to sharpen up. This helps a bunch thank you Brad!
It was 1988 when I first heard Mr Crowley and started learning guitar. I've played it many times with my band since then, and I'm still trying to play it as accurately & powerfully as Randy did in my memory. Yes, it's my lifetime challenge.
Bradley. You are great player, great comic and the best character in UA-cam. Love your work. Thanks from Poland! Keep the good stuff coming. BTW, Piece of mind IS the iconic Maiden album…
I didn't hear Blizzard Of Ozz until 2003 (I was born in 91) but I was entranced by Randy's playing on that album. This solo along with Crazy Train and Goodbye to Romance were a huge part of me wanting to learn how to play.
Not sure if accurate but it sounds accented, maybe the slightest hint of a semi-harmonic? I'm listening on my phone so maybe the semi-harmonic is a phone artifact 🤷🏻♀️ But definitely at least accented/hit with absolute conviction.
My favourite type of your content! I’m a sucker for all your series, but haven’t been enjoying the commentary side of it. You’re more talented at other things, but regardless of my opinion, I hope you succeed and always keep your cools!
Back in the 90s my stepbrother who was late 20s was a evh fanatic! First time sweep picking was ever known to me as I watched his hands do magic. Me being a RR young kid I asked him to play Randy all the time. He never did. Now I'm older and youtube has taught me both guitarists were on the outs at that time back in tye day so no wonder he wouldn't play RR...
That was amazing! Note for note. Perfect timing and inflection. It was mentioned “for his time”, but wasn’t his style inspired by classical music of centuries past? Kind of implies he was ahead of his time. I personally feel he was exactly at his time.
Apart from all of his solos he was an incredible songwriter. I think what separates good guitar players from the greats is the ability to write music. Randy had that at a very very young age. I still think about what would've been if he was still here.
Been on and off learning this for three years now. Got stuck at the insanely weird part at 1:21. Recently I‘m working hard to finally get it done. But all this time I never was bored for a second by this true masterpiece!
Sick. I'll just say it, even though it's just my opinion. I enjoy watching your videos because you get a better recorded tones than some of the originals that let me enjoy the songs again. And your playing is smoking. There.
This is great and I'm a member of your school but I'm wondering if a lot of people could more easily see what you are playing if you were using a guitar with fret markers, even just dots. I realize the tab is there but watching where it's played is also useful. (like your Ibanez)
Extremely well done ! I’d expect nothing less from Beanley hallsworth!! Also check out the live bootleg from Taunton Odeon October 1980 ! You looking at me has sick solo fills , crazy train intro and outro is the best version hands down , mr Crowley is awesome(additional keyboard intro ) guitar solo is superb , suicide solution excellent solo and children of the grave has an extra long juicy solo !!
Easily one of my favorite guitar solos of all time, Speaking of being ahead of his time - Check out Uli John Roth's intro solo in "Sails of Charon" by Scorpions.
I believe Uli Jon Roth is the guitar name for protoshred. Before the 3 boys from Los Angeles came to light (Randy, Eddie Van Halen and George Lynch), in Germany there was already Uli Jon Roth. Van Halen in their club days in LA did Scorpions covers like "Catch your train" and "Speedy's Coming". Interesting that Ed doesn't admit Schenker and Uli as his influences.
This solo taught me that true genius lies in not just learning all the theory and technique, but in writing a solo people can whistle, an actual tune, just at 500 mph and bouncing off the walls where appropriate.
Love the video! Helped me a ton and it's thanks to you! I've wanted to ask what's the green pick you're using? I've always wanted a pick shaped like that but never can find them
I don’t know how but I have never heard this masterpiece before! Fucking phenomenal - can’t imagine how mad this must have sounded back when it first came out!
Randy ate soo hard it's insane he was only in his 20s when he created this I recently listened to both blizzard of ozz and Diary of a madman and every guitar solo made my jaw drop Gosh may he rest in peace ☹️
This is awesome... What an amazing work you have done. I would love to hear you do the "Tribute" live version which IMO is even better than the album ❤️❤️❤️
How do you play the fast arpeggio in the second solo? How do you pick it? I’ve tried several times but can’t get it and end up with a tone of excess string noice.
I dont play guitar,but always been a fan of randy,managed to see him live twice in the uk.heres a question would he be held in such high asteem(rightly so) if he hadn't have died sooo young and left such a short back catalogue,than if he had lived longer producing more material?
For the random descending notes towards the end, is it truly random or will a certain pattern work best? This is one of my favorite all time solos and I’m really struggling with that part. Just doesn’t sound right
I saw someone on UA-cam saying that Rhandy's solos are difficult because on the original records the solo sessions are, in fact, two solos almost identical but slightly different at the same time.

The fact Randy wrote these solos in his early 20's is crazy
And in 1979-1980 as well

That’s the kind of talent that separates smart from genius imo. Literally one of a kind

These two solos on Mr.Crowley was Randy's crowning achievement as a guitarist/composer. A timeless metal neo-classical masterpiece.
Idk Revelation (Mother Earth) might have it beat. And Tonight if it didn't fade out so early 😅
@@zacharymutter8432 The outro solo on Mr.Crowley also fades out too early 😀

One of my favorite solos of all time! And it is one of those pieces that could literally play on and on for eternity!
Yet another classic masterpiece magnificently done by our favorite monocled maestro of metal, Beanley Hallsworth. 🫡🎩🧐

I never realised how much early Kirk Hammett seemed to be inspired by Randy
Man the solos work really well together

I've been trying to learn this solo recently, perfect timing bradley 🤘
Ah, Randy, my first guitar hero. Great transcription and performance. That guy was definitely a pioneer.
This song singlehandedly got me into soloing, and turned me into the neo-classical metal addict I am today.

I’m so glad you played the middle solo. I feel like it is often so overlooked compared to the ending solo… but it’s actually the better one imho!
Love the "just shred random notes in descending order" on the part of the tablature on the second solo.
That was flawless!
Damn Beanley you never cease to amaze me. WOW
I really love this solo. This is my Top 1 best solo of all time (for me). I specifically love the live version. I think it was on TV
That was amazing! Note for note. Perfect timing and inflection.
It was mentioned “for his time”, but wasn’t his style inspired by classical music of centuries past? Kind of implies he was ahead of his time. I personally feel he was exactly at his time.
