I was a 16 year old guitarist when Diary was released and, like you, I learned to play as much of it as I could. I still play and it warms my 54 year old heart to see a young guitarist digging on the genius of Randy Rhoads almost 40 years later. Keep it up, keep playing and keep Randy alive!
Maciej's guitar performance aside, as a professional sound engineer and musician myself, I can see how much time he places into matching Randy's sound. People do not realize the work it takes to match this. Truly brilliant in all respects - sound and performance.
The musical legacy Randy left in his short life is timeless and magical. I still remember when I first heard Blizzard and forty years later I still bow to the king and still get the same blown away feeling I did then with his masterfully gifted riffs and solos. Your playing is phenomenal and I know St.Rhoads is happy you are keeping his legacy alive. ✝️🎸
Completely blown away . Thought id never hear anyone who could play these pieces like randy did. You nailed it. This honestly brought tears to my eyes. Incredible
After watching this a few times I am starting to realize this is possibly the best Guitarist Videos to date. The reason you don't see many videos of Randy Rhoads work being performed like Maciej has done here is because very few Guitarist in the World would ever attempt to copy Randy's work. Randy has created Riffs and Melodies that are unmatched to this date, his work has set the Bar and I have yet to see his work beat.
Hard to believe it's been over 40 years since his tragic death. Randy was such a shining example of brilliance. Thank you, young man for keeping the memory alive with such incredible renditions of each of his solos. I'm thinking it's the best replication of Randy's music I have seen, which in itself is the ultimate compliment I can bestow on you. Precise, impressive... I thoroughly enjoyed it.
I was fully prepared to watch a boring cover video, full of errors that make me wince, skip through it for a minute, then find something to watch. What I was not prepared for however is what I just watched; a completely accurate, and I’m still trying to find out how, but superbly cleanly executed cover that I was glued to the screen for the entire time...I don’t even think I blinked and watched every second of it. From one guitarist to another, I salute you! Very well done. Mr, Rhoads would be proud
Trevor Apparently one year later I see your comment and I must say I second that!!! Absolutely awesome work on the guitar !!! Very very well done to the artist and maker of this video 🤙👍🎸🤸♂️
Randy Rhoads has been my life long guitar hero ( i am 53yrs old).. I must say, that is the most accurate cover play of RR I have ever heard/seen.. and that includes Ozzy's guitarists.. well done!!
Mr Stelmach, from a true Randy Rhoads addict, I am so impressed by your blazing fast fingers and your ability to play Randy's guitar solos... It is simply amazing... Thank You Very Much for keeping Randy alive for all of us... I was 14 when Blizzard was released... I was 17 when a young woman (18) I knew had an extra ticket to my very first Rock Concert - Ozzy Osbourne... It was late '83, just a few months after Randy was killed... There were quite a few people at the show that didn't know about the plane crash, and saying things like, "...Who's this guy Jake Lee??...", and, "...Where's Randy Rhoads??..." It was kinda FUKDUP, but they put on a good show, nonetheless... I still remember Ozzy yelling out "...WHAT IS IT YOU WANNA HEAR??..." From my "nosebleed" seat, I stood up and yelled at the TOP of my lungs, "PARANOID!!!" And I swear on all that I hold as RIGHT, Ozzy looked up and pointed in my general direction, and said, "P A R A N O I D I T I S!!!
This is as close as you will ever get to sitting right in front of Randy Rhoads in the studio as these solo's were originally recorded........NEXT LEVEL my friend, BRAVO!
I agree this guy is spot on. I have been following Randy since I first saw him back in 79. I was fixated on him the moment I heard him play. I'm going to be 60 next month. I have searched for the real deal since we lost him in 82, and this guy totally nails it. I have heard some good ones and I have friends of mine that play professionally, Phil Demmel one of them and he's a huge Randy fan. But nowhere near this kids skills.@@MaciejStelmach
When I see you play these particular tunes... I'm 52.. and know a lot of guitarists.. that wish they could with such pick control.. finger discipline... mostly strength of playing!!.... You do it young man WITH A smile on ya face .. which is what it's all about.!!!! Would love to hear something of yours.....yours ... ROCK ON Little BROTHER!!!!!
Being a young kid at 8-9 friggin years old (and ALREADY being a music fanatic from my surroundings of 70s rock, also a huge Beatles fan, and heavier Priest/AC DC) listening to Blizzard when it officially debuted, I KNEW I was listening to something special and then of course "Diary" as 1 of my ALL TIME favs. And with Randy always being my personal favorite guitarist of that whole scene till THIS day, I have to say "Damn dude....NICE job!!!". As I too, (as read by others responses,) got the goosebumps and then of course, a bit of a tear come up in both eyes as I remember my favorite guitar hero.....right before I regained my composure and the BIGGEST smile came to my face as I know Randy and a NOW recently departed drummer (from the 1st 2 Ozzy releases) Lee Kerslake are both rocking out up in heaven somewheres......Hails n Horns 🤘🤘
Interesting fact: Randy didn't have time to complete the solos on DoM. Most of those solos were just "guide tracks" for where a legit solo was supposed to go. They were running out of time to start the next leg of the Blizzard tour and had to send "incomplete" work to the label. I'm sure that bugged the heck out of Randy. Maybe one of the reasons he wanted out?
Yeah, I read that interview, too. Randy said they were solo “outlines” that weren’t actually fleshed out due to time constraints. And it seemed to bum him out, seeing as he was a musical perfectionist. Just imagine how the complete versions would’ve sounded. And Randy wanted out for a lot of reasons, and yeah, maybe that was one of them. Just poor management. Being rushed, being treated like expendable side pieces (when the band started off initially as a “we are all in this together”, only to become all about Ozzy). That… and all the partying Ozzy was doing. Randy wanted no part of it. Complained about it constantly. In fact, Ozzy said Randy’s last words to him were “(With all these drugs), you’re going to kill yourself, you know. One of these days”. Randy was deeply disgusted when Ozzy pissed on the Alamo. He thought it was deeply disrespectful, considering it was hallowed historic ground. And when other members were fired, Randy would try to use his status to argue for them. At one point, it’s said that Randy got so fed up with Ozzy’s bs that he started a coup - getting all the other band members to join in. Basically going on strike. But it was immediately shot down with threats. Another story is that Randy was once thrown out in the snow during winter. Fired. On the spot. And just left, without a warm tour bus, to find his way back home. And I guess he was eventually rehired. Then obviously as everyone knows, Ozzy punched him the day before he died. “You ungrateful little shit, I’m the one who brought you in and made you”. But the biggest thing that pushed Randy over the edge, from what I know, is that Ozzy and Sharon were planning a live Black Sabbath album. And being as Randy hated Black Sabbath, he and Tommy Aldridge felt that they had etched their own personal musical place in already and didn’t need to be covering other band’s material anymore. It was an insult to their musicianship and the integrity of the music they were writing. As a result, Randy threatened to leave and Sharon threatened him with lawsuits, considering he was under contract for one more album. So Randy backed down and agree to do the one extra album and then call it quits. A sad way to treat such a musical genius. A rare guitar gem. But that’s how they treated others, too. Randy’s replacement, Jake E Lee, was also threatened with lawsuits. Lee wrote most of Bark and the Moon and never got his full writing credit. “If you don’t like it, we’ll just replace you.” Ozzy and Sharon are two of the most pathetic and sad aspects of all rock and roll history. I’ve never seen such a greedier, more nasty couple than them. And to this day, I’m not so sure Randy’s death was actually an “accident”, considering all the drama that was going down just prior to the plane crash. Makes you wonder…
@@johnhill762 Yeah. According to Rudy Sarzo, Randy considered it beneath him to have to play someone else's music. I don't disagree with him. On the other hand, he was likely getting paid pretty well and should have just done it. Maybe he'd still be here today. I don't know. Btw, Angus and Malcolm Young were pretty nasty dudes, if you read between the lines. Record label said the singer you have is no good for America. Then, that singer dies mysteriously and another on is ready to go in just a few short weeks. (Just before recording the vocals for the big new album are about to start.)
Randy was 25 and already had done Blizzard and this Master Piece, and had his signature Concord RR Jackson and Polka Dot V under his name. Who knows what he would of done with his life, if not for that ugly day. ..................... You done a Great Job at capturing Randy.
,,,,,dude,,,,,hello from land o' lakes,wi.usa......A-PLUS...so good!!...😯.......I was very lucky to see them in 1981...bouler,CO......incredible nite of music....tonite,is an time fave,,from my fave album.....the set truck broke down on the way to the concert,so they played without effects..still,Mr Rhodes was right on....never to forget......I wore out my 8-track tape of this album.....so a cassette went in my car soon after.....tnx,pat....peace.( I'm an old fart,with great taste of metal).
Nothing Randy ever played sucks i never get tired of his music this puts me to sleep its joy ful to always listen to i sware to god i love this guys playing
That’s because the outro is, and always has been, a somewhat hidden gem on the album. RR, as did EVH, had a knack for doing that. Great observation of a hugely overlooked fact on an even more overlooked track on, in my opinion, Ozzy’s finest hour.
Well done young man! I had seen Randy twice in my life standing in the second row for one show… I have never seen anybody pull off what you just did! Your vibe Brado is spot on !!🤘tone is killer as well outstanding🎸🤘
I am blown away! I think you are in the top 5 best guitarists on the planet right now! You are soon to be the greatest guitar player in the world, if not already,. You are so young, imagine what 4 or 5 more years of jamming guitar will do for your playing. You are an up and coming contender to be the greatest guitarist of all time!!!!
when you go thru tonight - it makes my day!!! Explorer- your Explorer is the greatest- that guitar wins the internet!!!!! even after all this time-- i still cannot wrap my mind around how mind blowing- and totally awesome your fluid playing with liquid flavorful goodness helps the planets rotation!!!! Thanks a bunch!!! think ill go and watch this a 100 more times!! - hold all my calls!!!!!
I remember buying Diary without hearing a single note from it. We didn't have the internet so that's how it worked unless they released something for radio stations. Just like Blizzard, it blew my teenage mind!
Tonights solos are so sick. In my humble opinion the best solos of this album. Full of feel and shredd at the same time. Randy was and forever will be a guitar god
The final high E bend and beautiful shred at the end of the Tonight outro has always been one of my favorite RR licks. Well played. You did Randy justice with this tribute.
These solos are burned into my memory from my repeated listenings of this album over the past several decades, and you cover them so well - great job. His many flaws aside, Ozzy sure could spot real talent and make the most of it.
Wrong. You're saying by default that randy's family wasted their time and so did marshall amplifiers. This sound didn't come from RR's $20,000 equipment. You obviously can't tell a F1 car from a toy car. No RR's amplifier was used in this video. You're obviously deaf.
I’ve listened to both blizzard and diary so many times I can sing along to every note in every solo. To hear you play them like that, it was beautiful. You don’t just copy the notes you play with a similar passion and feel to the great man Randy. I dang along with every note you played !!!!
I come here every so often to put my attitude in check and witness some masterful guitar slaying. I was a teenager when this album came out and heard them fresh on vinyl. Nice to know younger players are honoring Randy and the old Ozzy stuff!! 🤘
I've been on this sentimental journey with my childhood and this was the most inspiring thing I've come across yet. I still have this album, bought it when it came out and it's still my favorite. At the time, we relied on magazine articles so Randy was somewhat of a legend and a mystery. There was nothing that sounded even close to this .This album really reflected Randy's growth as a guitar great. Such a tragic loss. As Lawrence said, 40 years later, this is very heartwarming to see. You did a great job and it was fun to watch.
I have played for about 40 years and only have 2 favorite guitarists. 1) Randy Rhoades and 2) George Lynch. I can only imagine both of them playing together. That would be a guitarists dream!
As said below, those of us who are 50-somethings now were teenagers when this came out and Randy was such a force of nature to behold. Those of us who took up the guitar only imagined we could ever play such incredible things and for many of us it is still left in the imagination. It is obvious you have practiced very hard to master these amazing guitar solos. Bravo! I could only ever get to Hendrix and Gilmour with my skills. Maybe Lifeson on a very good day for me. But Randy was a whole different level of skill I could never achieve. Probably it has made them seem even more amazing. And they still sound just as amazing 40 years later.
Never seen such covers so well played as yours! NEVER! I've told in the other video, you're a monster! Left me with tears in my eyes! Very, very, very, VERY THANK YOU!
I learned to play Crazy Train, which for me was a big achievement. I can only imagine the hours you spent learning to do that. Randy was a hell of a player. Not easily followed.
I saw Randy Rhoads play five times and I filmed the famous New York Palladium late show concert. I’m also a guitar player. You are one of the great guitar players I have ever seen in my life and to be able to break down all Randy’s stuff like that is a great accomplishment. At 20 years old you are a monster! and it makes me happy to think that the next generation will have a great guitar player like you to keep the metal going on. Randy used to use heavier gauge strings and you might want to look into that if you really want to get technical about Randy’s tone because you’re so close the .10 string gauge would really put you over the top. All the best. Al
Just shows how talented you really are. I don't listen to any OZZY anymore unless it is with Randy Playing. 57 now and I can say you play Randy as well as anyone. THANKS. Turning some old heavy metal heads on to this great playing.
Outstanding maestro. Hats of to you. Excellent. Randy himself would be impressed. I think we would all agree. You really should be alongside Ozzy. Bravo.
Great job! I love playing Randy’s solos because you can tell he put a lot of thought into them. He had a perfect balance of soulful and technical playing and you really capture that here.
Wrong josh. Its music by numbers. Lots of guitarist hate you and are refusing to play. You're not going to speak for us. You're not the establishment. You're not taking over. You're not right. You're sick in the head.
Thank you! That was amazing! The acoustic part at the end nearly brought out the tears. Was such a beautiful piece of musical genius! Randy could sure touch the soul!
I’m the biggest Randy fan ever and this was just awesome tribute to some of the best guitar solo’s ever written. Truly jealous of your playing, nailed the tone and phrasing ... amazing 💪🏼 🎸🎶
Your Tribute to Randy Rhoads was superbly accurate ,clean and respectful and Truly a pleasure watch and listen to. You just gained a fan, Keep up the good work
i've seen many a player over the last 40 years or so try to play Randy and everyone of them puts in a little bit of their style into the solos, and while that isn't necessarily a bad thing, it's also very refreshing to hear someone play them pretty much as Randy had intended. Well done mate. I will remember your name and be keeping an ear out for you in the future. Bravo!!
Dude, this was really really incredible! It's truly a gift to have all of these solos played PERFECTLY clearly on display. You did a brilliant job with the entire production, thanks for making this!
Amazing playing brother, the outro solo to Tonight is my all time favorite Randy Rhoads guitar solo.I always picture his soul ascending up into the heavens as the clouds open up and take him home during it. You nailed all of these man!
The best covers I’ve seen with my own eyes of Randy’s genius guitar work . I wish he played little dolls , sato, you can’t kill rock n roll and tonight live when they did the diary tour . But watching your covers is probably the closest I’ll ever get to seeing them played live and correctly . Truly amazing playing .
I was a 16 year old guitarist when Diary was released and, like you, I learned to play as much of it as I could. I still play and it warms my 54 year old heart to see a young guitarist digging on the genius of Randy Rhoads almost 40 years later. Keep it up, keep playing and keep Randy alive!
Thank you! 😊
Lawrence Dodd you know.. Randy really was awe...some... not just to coin a phrase...😃 just awe at what he was capable of
Amen
this guys 20!! and he plays Randy's stuff effortlessly.
Same age as you, Randy was my guitar hero. Was devastated by his death. Still play his stuff on my stereo and my guitar. Always will.
The song Diary of a Madman has to be one of the most beautiful sad and underrated guitar pieces ever.
I agree!
Well done !
Period.
Maciej's guitar performance aside, as a professional sound engineer and musician myself, I can see how much time he places into matching Randy's sound. People do not realize the work it takes to match this. Truly brilliant in all respects - sound and performance.
Thank you so much Dino! Its a big pleasure 😍😍😍
I agree
You nailed it.... both of You. Thank You.
First time I heard Tonight it made me choked up. Who says metal can't be beautiful and emotional?
i was 12 years old with this musical masterpiece entered my little brain. And now its in my dna. Well done sir. Well done. Long live Randy Rhoads
The musical legacy Randy left in his short life is timeless and magical. I still remember when I first heard Blizzard and forty years later I still bow to the king and still get the same blown away feeling I did then with his masterfully gifted riffs and solos. Your playing is phenomenal and I know St.Rhoads is happy you are keeping his legacy alive. ✝️🎸
The outro to Tonight has to be one of Randy's absolute best, I could listen to it a million times!!! He was the greatest!!
😊 Agree, tonight is awesome!
Same... I've always turned up the volume as loud as I could to hear every little bit at the end. He made it sound spooky
@@tymarq07 me too... always made me sad it faded out.
@@tymarq07 YES!
Wrong.
I heard that same comment 40 years ago.
Why do I hear the gossip repeat 40 years in a row?
Completely blown away . Thought id never hear anyone who could play these pieces like randy did. You nailed it.
This honestly brought tears to my eyes. Incredible
I’m nearly 50 and have spent literally since mid 1980s to get these solos down and still struggle. You son are a true prodigy. Total RESPECT.
One of the great gifts Randy had, was allowing his solo's to "breathe"
After watching this a few times I am starting to realize this is possibly the best Guitarist Videos to date. The reason you don't see many videos of Randy Rhoads work being performed like Maciej has done here is because very few Guitarist in the World would ever attempt to copy Randy's work. Randy has created Riffs and Melodies that are unmatched to this date, his work has set the Bar and I have yet to see his work beat.
Hard to believe it's been over 40 years since his tragic death. Randy was such a shining example of brilliance. Thank you, young man for keeping the memory alive with such incredible renditions of each of his solos. I'm thinking it's the best replication of Randy's music I have seen, which in itself is the ultimate compliment I can bestow on you. Precise, impressive... I thoroughly enjoyed it.
kid got skills. That had to take talent and a lot of discipline to teach yourself all of those. None of those solos are for beginners.
Thank you! 😊
Exactly 💯. Talent 💯

Haha Thank you so much! 😊😊😊
Outstanding . SATO is my favorite.
Thank you 😊
Same
I could watch this stuff all day.
These are the most accurate covers of Randy's work I've seen. This whole video (and your Blizzard of Ozz cover) is amazing front to back.
Thank you so much!!!! ^^
I totally agree! It has some kind of really live soul in this video!
@@MaciejStelmach agreed , excellent job
Wrong.
I don't allow introductions.
Trevor Apparently one year later I see your comment and I must say I second that!!! Absolutely awesome work on the guitar !!! Very very well done to the artist and maker of this video 🤙👍🎸🤸♂️
56 years young saw Ozzy and Randy at the Richfield Coliseum in Cleveland Ohio in 81. It went so fast,the concert and time,wow.
Randy Rhoads has been my life long guitar hero ( i am 53yrs old)..
I must say, that is the most accurate cover play of RR I have ever heard/seen.. and that includes Ozzy's guitarists.. well done!!
Thank you! 😊
The past is gone. Ozzy ozzy ozzy

Randy Rhoads incarcerate ! The best I’ve heard. Hands down .
Who in the world would give thumbs down. This guy deserves insane respect !
Nothing Randy ever played sucks i never get tired of his music this puts me to sleep its joy ful to always listen to i sware to god i love this guys playing
Wow, you’re a great player. That outro solo from “Tonight” was the best I’ve heard, gave me goosebumps. Keep it up!!
Thank you very muuuch! ^^
True dat. My favorite too!!
The outro solo from Tonight is one of the finest guitar pieces in the history of music.
I second that on the Tonight closing solo. Great job on all the solos. Could even hear Randy’s tone come through at times. Two thumbs up.
That’s because the outro is, and always has been, a somewhat hidden gem on the album. RR, as did EVH, had a knack for doing that. Great observation of a hugely overlooked fact on an even more overlooked track on, in my opinion, Ozzy’s finest hour.
Randys staccato and legato flurries are amazing ,
My older son’s middle name is Rhoads and my younger son’s name is Jaxon. Massive Randy fan for 40 years. You have done an amazing job!!! Fantastic!!!
Outstanding playing. The solos that Randy came up with are brilliant.
I agree! Thank you! 😊
Wrong.
Wrong again.
1 solo wasn't even a solo. It was a background track.
Thanks 🙏 great guitarist.. makes me appreciate Randy..all over again 🤟🏼👍

Thanks a bunch!!! think ill go and watch this a 100 more times!! - hold all my calls!!!!!
Hard to believe that's not randy on the guitar. Incredible trip down memory lane thank you
That acoustic end just did it for me...
Couldn't hold it 😭
Long live RR !
And thank you for keeping his memory alive ! 🙌🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
That was awesome spot on playing with no mistakes and perfect tone !!! Excellent !!!
Randy is the best! So articulate
my favorite Ozzy album, you killed those solos, Randy's work is still amazing
Thank you! 😊
Show de música!!!!!
I didn't see any RR's equipment being used.
I bet your frog in the pond is the best desert in 2021.
I remember buying Diary without hearing a single note from it. We didn't have the internet so that's how it worked unless they released something for radio stations. Just like Blizzard, it blew my teenage mind!
Tonights solos are so sick. In my humble opinion the best solos of this album. Full of feel and shredd at the same time. Randy was and forever will be a guitar god
Wrong.
I heard that same comments about judy garland.
Awesome playing! I never jumped on the Van Halen boat, but every time a guitar mag had tabs on a Randy song I snatched it up!
Thanks again!! 😊
The final high E bend and beautiful shred at the end of the Tonight outro has always been one of my favorite RR licks. Well played. You did Randy justice with this tribute.
Late gang here, "Diary of a Madman" has one of the most batshit-weird solos ever & I love it
Great vibrato. Amazing.
Thank you so much! 😁
Well done. Cool to see the the GREAT Randy Rhoads honored this way.
Thank you! 😊
Sounds spot on, greatest heavy metal album of all time.
Thank you!!!
Agreed!
Where's the RR amplifier?
How can it be the sound from a Mickey mouse product?
We need you to stop gossipping.
Wow DIARY OF A MADMAN gave me CHILLS🎸🎸👍👍👍👍👍I started singing the words!!! Absolutely incredible!!
Haha Thank you very much! 😊
You ROCK!!!!!!!!
What a masterpiece and played as well as a humanly possible.
That's as good as I've heard them played outside of Randy himself. Fabulous. Thank you
Pure Magic.
Every second 💪🤘🤘💪💪💪💪
Thank you so much!!!!!
These solos are burned into my memory from my repeated listenings of this album over the past several decades, and you cover them so well - great job. His many flaws aside, Ozzy sure could spot real talent and make the most of it.
Thanks! Ozzy was lucky as hell haha
BTW let your face get into your playing too! Like randy did
Wrong.
You're saying by default that randy's family wasted their time and so did marshall amplifiers.
This sound didn't come from RR's $20,000 equipment.
You obviously can't tell a F1 car from a toy car.
No RR's amplifier was used in this video.
You're obviously deaf.
Probably more luck than anything else TBH
closest to randy I have heard in over 40 years.... awesome job.
The outro solo from "Tonight" is one of the finest in all of Metaldom. Perfectly executed. Kudos to you.
Thank you!!!! ^^
How many if you turned it all the way up with headphones as it faded!?!?!?
@@kevingodziebiewski5642 Every. Single. Time. The only track I've ever had to "emergency download" just to get a fix of the outro solo....
@@kevingodziebiewski5642 I've been doing that every time I listen to it for the past 38 years!
Agreed
These are great! I’m like the kid that’s 18 months late to the party but thanks to random UA-cam suggestions I’m here! Cheers
I’ve listened to both blizzard and diary so many times I can sing along to every note in every solo. To hear you play them like that, it was beautiful. You don’t just copy the notes you play with a similar passion and feel to the great man Randy. I dang along with every note you played !!!!
He makes Randy Rhodes proud very proud
Dude you are SO in the pocket. Incredible tone, vibrato, and execution. Love your playing!
Thank you very much!!! ^^
I was going to say the same thing only add great hair
@@pekinbikeguy thank you! ☺️
He's about as close to a kid riding a bicycle saying he'll grow up to drive a car one day.
Its comparable to costume jewellery.
FAKERY.
What? You think he’s faking?
I come here every so often to put my attitude in check and witness some masterful guitar slaying. I was a teenager when this album came out and heard them fresh on vinyl. Nice to know younger players are honoring Randy and the old Ozzy stuff!! 🤘
I've been on this sentimental journey with my childhood and this was the most inspiring thing I've come across yet. I still have this album, bought it when it came out and it's still my favorite. At the time, we relied on magazine articles so Randy was somewhat of a legend and a mystery. There was nothing that sounded even close to this .This album really reflected Randy's growth as a guitar great. Such a tragic loss. As Lawrence said, 40 years later, this is very heartwarming to see. You did a great job and it was fun to watch.
I love seeing young guitarist keeping the brilliance of Randy alive. Keep rocking dude!
Thank you! 😊
I don't know who he is, but he is excellent. He would do really good with OZZY . I have no doubt about that !
Every guitar player will emulate their rock gods but how many can play them note for note every nuance tone,., Not many! You make it look so easy.
I have played for about 40 years and only have 2 favorite guitarists. 1) Randy Rhoades and 2) George Lynch. I can only imagine both of them playing together. That would be a guitarists dream!
Outstanding young man,brought a tear to my eye. Randy was a virtuoso and you done it justice, Bravo.
As said below, those of us who are 50-somethings now were teenagers when this came out and Randy was such a force of nature to behold. Those of us who took up the guitar only imagined we could ever play such incredible things and for many of us it is still left in the imagination. It is obvious you have practiced very hard to master these amazing guitar solos. Bravo! I could only ever get to Hendrix and Gilmour with my skills. Maybe Lifeson on a very good day for me. But Randy was a whole different level of skill I could never achieve. Probably it has made them seem even more amazing. And they still sound just as amazing 40 years later.
Right! Thank you so much! 😊😊
Never seen such covers so well played as yours!
NEVER!
I've told in the other video, you're a monster!
Left me with tears in my eyes!
Very, very, very, VERY THANK YOU!
Oh Thank you so much 😊😊😊
One of the most beautiful things I've heard in years...Randy would be proud!
Desde Puerto Rico....Que sonido tan fino y elegante...te felicito.Gracias por intetpretar Randy Rhoads.Saludos
I watched this over and over. It's so good 💯🤟💪🔥🎸🎶
BEST song is “Diary of a Madman” - Excellent job!!!
Thank you very much 😁
Perfetto veramente da premiare .....riesce a trasmettere le stesse emozioni del grande Randy...🏆🙏👍🥂🍾
I learned to play Crazy Train, which for me was a big achievement. I can only imagine the hours you spent learning to do that. Randy was a hell of a player. Not easily followed.
Congratulations! Oh Randy done a lot of crazy stuff on his albums haha! Thanks for comment 🤗
I saw Randy Rhoads play five times and I filmed the famous New York Palladium late show concert. I’m also a guitar player.
You are one of the great guitar players I have ever seen in my life and to be able to break down all Randy’s stuff like that is a great accomplishment. At 20 years old you are a monster! and it makes me happy to think that the next generation will have a great guitar player like you to keep the metal going on.
Randy used to use heavier gauge strings and you might want to look into that if you really want to get technical about Randy’s tone because you’re so close the .10 string gauge would really put you over the top.
All the best. Al
Thank you so much! 😍
you should go on tour with Ozzy and do all the RR songs
Just shows how talented you really are. I don't listen to any OZZY anymore unless it is with Randy Playing. 57 now and I can say you play Randy as well as anyone. THANKS. Turning some old heavy metal heads on to this great playing.
Thank you very much!!!! :D
This is amazing. The playing goes without saying, but the production with the backing tracks and camera work is just fantastic. Superb!
Outstanding maestro. Hats of to you. Excellent. Randy himself would be impressed. I think we would all agree.
You really should be alongside Ozzy. Bravo.
Thank you so much! 😁
Great job! I love playing Randy’s solos because you can tell he put a lot of thought into them. He had a perfect balance of soulful and technical playing and you really capture that here.
You're right! Thanks 😊
Wrong josh.
Its music by numbers.
Lots of guitarist hate you and are refusing to play.
You're not going to speak for us.
You're not the establishment.
You're not taking over.
You're not right.
You're sick in the head.
It is in your soul...embrace and soar!
Thank you! That was amazing! The acoustic part at the end nearly brought out the tears. Was such a beautiful piece of musical genius! Randy could sure touch the soul!
Thank you so much 😍
This is not possible. My mind is blown.
I’m the biggest Randy fan ever and this was just awesome tribute to some of the best guitar solo’s ever written. Truly jealous of your playing, nailed the tone and phrasing ... amazing 💪🏼 🎸🎶
Awesomely, ridiculously great. Has a reminiscence of Erock that i absolutely love
Your Tribute to Randy Rhoads was superbly accurate ,clean and respectful and Truly a pleasure watch and listen to. You just gained a fan, Keep up the good work
Oh thank you very much! 😊
I'll bet if ozzy seen this he would be floored at how well you nailed it and wished he was 20 year younger so you could be his guitarist.
i've seen many a player over the last 40 years or so try to play Randy and everyone of them puts in a little bit of their style into the solos, and while that isn't necessarily a bad thing, it's also very refreshing to hear someone play them pretty much as Randy had intended. Well done mate. I will remember your name and be keeping an ear out for you in the future. Bravo!!
Thank you so much! 😊
Something even more special on tonight and s.a.t.o. you are killin it on another level
Dude, this was really really incredible! It's truly a gift to have all of these solos played PERFECTLY clearly on display. You did a brilliant job with the entire production, thanks for making this!
Thank you very much! For a comments like yours - it was worth it! 😊
Deaf and blind.
Show me the $20 000 equipment.
Thank you for sharing your playing on these classics. You are a very good player.
Amazing playing brother, the outro solo to Tonight is my all time favorite Randy Rhoads guitar solo.I always picture his soul ascending up into the heavens as the clouds open up and take him home during it. You nailed all of these man!
Thanks ^^
The best covers I’ve seen with my own eyes of Randy’s genius guitar work . I wish he played little dolls , sato, you can’t kill rock n roll and tonight live when they did the diary tour . But watching your covers is probably the closest I’ll ever get to seeing them played live and correctly . Truly amazing playing .
