    Awesome job ! I love how you broke each section of the solo down into separate parts , and even brought it to life with rhythm chords in the beginning, amazing Randy put all that together in two months, he was nothing short of phenomenal, and your playing really nails his signature sound , thank you ! 💜🐼🙏🏼🇺🇸

    I still get goosebumps when i hear the outro solo, and wish i could hear a much longer version of him continuing. Its like i can hear him trying to say something but gets shut down before we can all hear what Randy was trting to say thru his guitar

    One of the most innovative solos I've ever heard. It's pure magic. Randy had an amazing talent of making solos miniature "songs" within a song. The man was a genius and imo nobody is at his level.

I still feel a tinge of sadness when I think about all the music Randy would have created if he were still alive. For someone that had a relatively small recording catalog, his influence on rock guitar can't be overstated. Legend. R.I.P. RR

    Here's a nugget, maybe some know or not. He was asked about the why's n wheres of his extensive outro solos, which for anyone playing the songs, it's as important as part of the whole song, incomplete without it. He said he drew inspiration from
    Bill Nelson of
    Be Bop Deluxe.
    This man is a beast in his own right.look him up n you will hear where Randy found the wood for his fire. Nelson doesn't half off any part of a song that transitions from main to verse bridge solo out again n ending. Simply beast

    • @LicksOfTheBeast
      @LicksOfTheBeast  Місяць тому +3

      It's a common trope people revert to when they hear playing that is beyond the threshold of what they enjoy.
      Some say that about Randy Rhoads, others say the same about John Petrucci. Taste is something I will never argue over... But FEEL is such a broad term, usually encompassing everything from note choice and phrasing to tone and small subtleties. Most pro players have very good control of those things, so the claim of so-and-so not playing with feel is usually utter nonsense. It would be more accurate and fair to say "this person's playing doesn't make *ME* feel the way I like".

      @Dave_Wight_The_Rock_Oracle Місяць тому +1

      @@LicksOfTheBeast I find that a lot of people introduce feel about a player when they cannot really argue the person is a great player or songwriter. Randy Rhoads could do it all, write great compositions, could shred, played with intense feeling and he brought in different genres into some great metal music. Randy had great phrasing, he could control his sound live, and he was not afraid to take risks during live shows and try new things for a song. No one is a robot, even Yngwie plays with feeling.

      There is an interview online of Randy talking about how rushed the 2nd album was. He even said he didn't like the over the mountain solo because to him it was just flash. Out of other interviews it seems mostly only diary and flying high again was the solos he had time to work out. He seemed very unhappy with his guitar parts but good enough for not having more time.

    • @robm321
      @robm321 Місяць тому

      @austinallen7100 I read that article also. The Little Dolls song was the one where the solo was the placeholder (guide track). He planned to add one but never got to it. You can tell by listening to it. The rest of the solos on that album may not have match his standards but they are at least structured and actual solos.
      Imagine what he could do if he had more time.
