I was a student of Randy's many many years ago. In the first lesson I ever had with him he gave me a finger warm up that we would do before every session. That exercise was actually a version of the opening lick to Crazy Train. I guess he had it in his head for a while. I think a lot of the reason for the open hand technique you talked about, was that he had a super long pinky nail that he used to play classical guitar. Which was amazing. Randy was really into classical guitar and classical music. It's where the emphasis on minor scales comes from. Anyway, keep doing what you're doing, bro. He was all about teaching and I have a feeling, would be super stoked that you are sharing his techniques.
Wow. I would have loved to even see Randy Rhoads from a distance let alone be his student but I was born way way after he died.
So awesome!!
Sure you was
I'm sure that pinky nail was only used for guitar. And good coke. Lol
I wanna be a student of Randy rhoades that would of just been awesome
I like how you say, "does" and "do" instead of "did". So long as they live in our memories and our hearts, they never truly die.
I still remember the exact moment when I heard the Mr. Crowley solo. Literally changed my life forever.
I know the feeling. Did for me as well.
same for me
No doubt the "afterbirth" solo in Mr. Crowley is IMHO the greatest lead in metal history. Almost 40 years later I STILL get chills hearing it. Ozzy pissed Randy off and he put down a transcendent response. Tony Iommi built the House of Metal but Randy kicked the door down.
Probably the best metal solo I've ever heard. I remember his iconic Cleveland show aired on WMMS in 1980 or 81 and it made me pickup my guitar and 40 years later I still tear up to the Crowley solo. Randy's legacy lives on in all of us.
Randy was a God, We can only image what he’d be doing today
Randy Rhoads. The greatest guitarist to have ever walked the earth. Everytime a song Rhoads was on, it makes me get cold chills no matter how many times I hear it. And when it plays out in public around people that don't know what's being played or whose playing it, I look around and think about what they're missing, people not knowing who Randy is missing out on what music ACTUALLY is. Such incredible talent and skill and genius at such a short amount of time. God bless Randy Rhoads
Man, Sometimes I don't get it.
Llke how I could be blasting "S.A.T.O." I will look 4:42 around at guys I know that play, and I see nothing in their faces. Is it Me!???
The way the song flows in perfect pace with it's melodic tone, like a wave, or spiral, those two late pinch harmonics that
Imitate the last word in the verse....... It's shockingly beautiful.
I read S.A.T.O.was Randy's favorite solo.
How could he pick a favorite?🤭
They're ALL amazing.🤘
Randy was perfect mix of classical and modern. Not one bad song.
Rhandy**
Agreed but the thumbnail was bait SMH not awful but still SMH
@@maxr.4274 Randy** lol
@@nocturnalferalguitarist how so
@@maxr.4274 Randall "Randy" Rhoads**********
Randy Rhoads was really way ahead of his time. Simply masterful in making melodic yet technical music.
briandgr8st exactly sir... I always said he's the most technical player who still knows how to write. That's what separates Randy.
Was he better than Eddie? In George
@@mikenuzzo3323 as far as technical yes he was, Eddie couldn't even read music he was more feel and what sounded right in his head
@@mikenuzzo3323 Why compare? They were very different and both amazing. I prefer Randy to Eddie today but I was a huge fan of both when I was growing up. It's so frustrating that Randy died because he was just getting started.
nah he wasn’t. if he was in our time i bet you he wouldn’t be as nearly appreciated as he is now.
Randy Rhoads taught with his music. Everytime he played you received a lesson. He loved to show people how he played, never hid his gift. You learn his material you'll pretty much excel on the 🎸
RustyzAngel evh: turns around on the stage, to hide his tapping technique
im an evh fan btw
Yup.He lived for that shit.
Randy Rhoads is just amazing.
was angelic
Dude! We both use the name Yeshua and both are Randy fans.
Best guitarist!!
Yeshua, Still My alltime favorite. Always... Imagine if He'd lived, an how he'D Play 2day..... OMG.
I saw him with a lookalike guitarist!!! It was creepy on so many levels !!! Prov .Civic Center after RR passed!!

35 years ago today RIP Randy. Keep playing his music & keep him memory alive!
35 years ago? How about 37 years ago. He was killed in 1982.
jperryfan guitarists will be talking about him forever.
@@JokersWild70 thank you for saying so!!
sorry to point out your mathematical error. FYI he died on 3/20/82. I know you meant well, as I do as well.
Tribute tab was my guitar bible growing up. This was before the internet. Learned it front to back. His chord based riffs, scales and hammer on and pull off techniques made a huge impact in my own style. I also studied classical guitar, so Randy Rhoads was my obvious guitar hero of choice.
Thank you for inspiring me to start playing again! I'm 51 and haven't played a guitar in nearly 30 years! 2 months ago an Ozzy video popped up in my Facebook feed. I did a search on Randy and ended up on this video. A few days later I went out and bought a secondhand Jackson Rhoads V! Really enjoying playing again. Been learning/relearning a bit of Metallica, Motley Crue and of course Randy. I'm almost playing along with the Sabbath covers on Tribute, just working on Children of the Grave now. And I can almost play Dee again :) Thanks for the great videos. Wish we had youtube 30 years ago lol.
Randy studied classical guitar at Glendale Community College in Glendale, CA with Robert Vaught. I studied with Robert a few years after Randy. Robert was grooming Randy to be a professional classical guitarist. He never wanted Randy to play heavy metal or rock guitar. He was devastated when Randy died.
Wow i never knew randy actually went to collagr
Randy never listened too metal lol. He was obsessed with Mark Ronson.
We all were devastated when he died. I was riding my bmx bike with my school mates in the hills above Studio City, California when we heard the news on the radio. We lost a guitarist and an artist that was going to accel to a limitless realm of music. I can't even comprehend what he would of given us musically if he was with us today. It still makes me sad, even today I get emotional when I think about his early departure. Such a loss musically and a really nice human being. R.I.P. Randy
is it true that he went same school with george lynch?
@@alessandro9740 George Lynch replaced Randy as the guitar teacher at Randy's mothers school when Randy joined Ozzy
I was fortunate enough to see Randy with Ozzy in February of 1982. It was about six weeks before he died. I still have the ticket stub! Randy remains my all-time favorite guitarist. Thanks for sharing this.
B. Weeks I also saw him in February of 1982 @ reunion arena in Dallas, TX. I remember the dwarf running on stage fanning Randy with a white towel because he his playing was so hot. Then Randy chased the dwarf with his polka-dotted Sandoval flying V.
So cool. Little things like that can be so special.I still have his business card for lessons.
Man, I’ve been playing guitar for over 30 years and when you showed the harmonics on the 12th fret are a G chord I was like... “WHAAA?!?” 😧 and kinda gobsmacked me for a second there... so well done!
One of those things that should've been obvious but just never occurred to me.
Thanks bro! 👍
I grew up 3.5 miles from where Randy grew up. I went to the same Jr. high and High school as he did. Not at the same time. I have met his mother several times and have some older friends that hung out with him during the Quiet Riot years. They use to go see them play back yard parties and rehearse. My friend took lessons from him and he also went on to play for Ozzy. My moms best friend had a neighbor whos daughter was Randys girlfriend. Everyone that knew him have only good memories of him and positive things to say about him as a friend. There are a couple of memories of being blown away by guitar playing that influenced me to start playing. When I heard the solo in All along the Watchtower, Crazy Train, Eruption.
Nice to see Randy still inspiring, legends never die. Certainly makes you appreciate his talent and ability when you try his work.
Randy was my fav and still is 35yrs after his death
Danzo Shimura what did you think of the Randy Rhoads Eddie Van Halen comparisons and the other guy
really enjoyed this lesson , i was lucky enough to see Randy and Ozzy's first gig together at the Glasgow Apollo 1980
he was a little guy but played like a Lion !!
Ravensmead Like Dio
Ravensmead wow lucky you
I was blessed to see Randy's very last performance, in Knoxville, TN in 1982. He blew EVERYONE in the audience away... But the concert did seem to have an ominous vibe. I remember when they "hung" the little guy...there seemed to be some kind of malfunction, and the guy hung there about 30 ft up, for 2 or 3 songs...and it looked like the roadies were frantically trying to get him back down, which they did eventually. Some guy in the audience brought a pocketful of dead snakes, and kept throwing them to on stage! UFO opened for Ozzy, and I remember Phil Mogg picking one up and chasing Pete Sears with it! He throw one at Ozzy too, but he jumped out of the way! Great memories, but Randy's death the next morning was a heart breaker.
how tall was he？
MTHRN Jh 5ft 4 in
Randy is the reason I picked up a guitar. I’ve studied his technique for years. To me he is right there with Hendrix as influential and ground breaking. He influenced so many great metal guitarist and when the vast majority of guitarist used the Pentatonic scale he brought the use of Melodic minor, Harmonic minor and Minor scales to metal and this was light years ahead of his time. Thanks for this. Keep Randy’s legacy alive.
Have you heard the isolated randy Rhodes guitar solos? After I heard Randy’s guitar solos. As a totally blind guitarist. I now own a Jackson Rhodes v.concord. I play his solos every time I play. Thank you for posting this video.
This is an excellent lesson. Great playing and production!
Excellent video, bro!
Teaching guitar has always been my favorite job ever. You are an excellent and informative teacher in this video and explain Randy's techniques so clearly to those who seek to learn them. Great job, man!
You have become my favorite online instructor!! Keep it up!
Jesse Atwood Thanks for your lessons there very informative!
Randy was my greatest inspiration to start playing not the first but definitely the greatest inspiration I had in the beginning. Metal guitar keeps evolving to where we never get bored. The love of my life is my Les-Paul, I hope to one day add a Jackson to my harem. Oh, in case my girl ever reads this .. Love you too babe! Lol.
Awww.great comment.
Same with me. I have been playing guitar for a little more than a year and a half. My first inspiration was Dave Murray from Iron Maiden. I already knew of Randy Rhoads and how amazing he was already but at the time his skill seemed miles away from a beginner guitarist. But then I learned the basic parts of Crazy Train and then it all changed for me. I realized it was possible to play his stuff and since then I have always played Crazy Train and other Randy songs every time I pick up my guitar. Every time I play his songs I always learn new things that I didn’t hear before. Anyway, sorry for writing a paragraph. I just wanted to get this out there.
Nice job. Great playing and explanations.
Randy's gift was that he could take technique into taste. The reason that Randy will ALWAYS be one of my favorite guitar players is that he struck me to my HEART!!!! How do you you show that an instructional video?!!! I am very glad you are trying to explain his technicality. By the way, killer playing brah!!!
Some great Randy techniques. I thoroughly enjoyed this video.
I saw Randy Rhodes. He was phenomenal.
This is probably the most comprehensive collection of licks and embellishments I've seen for guitar players that have mastered their pentatonics and are trying to get to that next level. Nicely done! Would love to see a next-level version of this with some slightly more complex ideas.
Awesome bro! I've ALWAYS loved listening to Randy Rhoads as in my mind he's one of my favorite guitarists of all-time...if not my favorite...still blows my mind he died when he was only 25 and he was that good! Thanks for the tips...
AMAZING VIDEO!!! Finding this just made my day! I'll be practicing these for weeks. Thank you!!
I've come back to this vid a bunch of times. I've been playing for about 40 years now and Randy's always been my biggest influence. Even though I'm familiar with all the stuff you covered here, I still find this lesson inspiring. Thanks, and keep up the great work!
Awesome content, right from the double picking, I never realized he was doing that! RIP Randy Rhoads...
really dig your vids man!
Great and entirely useful tutorial. Brilliant teaching style. Randy lives!
Dude basically had two albums and had this much to give to guitars. What a talent fucking crying shame he died man.
Man! Just amazing video ! Thanks for sharing it 🔥
Great video I thoroughly enjoyed this. I've always loved Randy's style too. Thanks for doing this!
Hi , Mike! One of your best videos, I bet...Rhandy was full of great ideas and techiques, really!
Thanks a lot for sharing this to us!
Hey Mike. Randy is my favourite guitar player, so MASSIVE APPRECIATION for this. If there one person I would cite as a major influence it's Randy...NO CONTEST... By the way, that Jackson guitar just made my jaw drop! Thanks for the vid Mike! Keep Rockin'...
I really love how Randy set up his lead off his rhythm like his solo on Crazy Train is lead solo ran right along with his rhythm incredible
This was a really cool overview of some of Randy's soloing techniques. Randy has always been my favorite guitarist. So it was awesome to see these things laid out this way.
Just found you. Had to sub. Anyone that loves RR has to be a cool guy.
Great stuff.
This was awesome, thanks man.
Thanks for posting this. Also +1 for a Gary Moore video ..
I’ve been watching your videos for a few months now since I started my YT guitar channel. I love your teaching style. I’ve been playing over 30 years and did teach private lessons about 15 years ago but I’m really rusty at teaching but am getting back into it. As for Randy, he was one of my greatest influences and I did spend a few years back in the day really studying him and learning many of his solos. Just saying in this video, you really nailed every part of his style and technique. I loved it!
Awsome Lessons, Mike! Randy was soooo talented...Who really knows what he would done if he'd lived longer...R.I.P. Randy Rhoads 1956-1982.
David Singletary Randy, Clif, so many others. The world was robbed of their potential. He would be right up there with G4
He would become a classical guitar player.
hmm Randy would have been 62 now... still able to play!... the tunes we missed :(
I've said it before, you're a great teacher. Nice job man!
Wow thanks man! Ive learned a couple things from you already!! thank you!! you rock!
March 19th marked 40 YEARS to the day, legendary guitarist Randy Rhoads tragically died at the age of 25 in a fateful plane crash during the 1982 Ozzy Osbourne tour. Despite his passing half a lifetime ago, Randy's legacy has had a profound influence on my playing and composition more than any other guitarist. I've been reflecting on his memory a lot lately.
Out of the ashes of Black Sabbath, he was instrumental in the success of launching Ozzy Osbourne's solo career. They believed in each other and achieved more than they ever could alone. Randy gave Ozzy the confidence he needed to believe in himself again and Ozzy gave Randy the artistic freedom to reach his full potential. In their wake, the early Ozzy Osbourne ("Blizzard of Ozz") band left two albums which have been considered to be milestones from which all other metal albums are judged. Their work has stood the test of time while influencing generations of musicians.
With his unforgettable tone, technical prowess, and composition genius, Randy married the styles of heavy metal and classical music on a level never before seen and changed the face of rock 'n roll forever. He was an incredibly humble, caring, gifted musician and he loved sharing his gift with others. Whenever he had time on a tour, he would look up guitar teachers in the area and learn anything he could, always growing. And when he would come back, he would always follow up with his 60+ students, helping them improve, and in the process, touching their lives. His discipline continues to inspire me, not only as a guitarist, but as a person.
He is everything I would love to be as a musician and I hope to leave my mark someday as he did....
Keep rockin' The Great Gig in the Sky buddy....
†RIP Randy Rhoads† (December 6th, 1956 - March 19th, 1982)
Very informative and entertaining. Good job.
Thanks for the vid man. It gave me some new inspiration on songs I discovered I can write myself lately.
This is a great video. Well done.
Great video Mate!! Randy was the greatest!!!! "Tribute" was my record when I was 13.... played to it cover to cover!!! Randy is still such an inspiration to everyone who listens to him!!! Thank you!!
Very helpful. Thank you. I cannot wait to try them out. Nice playing too.
Fantastic lesson as always !
picked up some nice tips...thanks man
Good job, thanks for posting this video.
I'm 53 years old. You are a great teacher (since you are intelligent and communicate thoughts thus) even though you are much younger than I. ( I have been playing guitar intensely since I was 16 yrs. old ). I love your Jackson.....looks and sounds killer! Thanks for digging in and finding all of these licks/ techniques of Randy's style. Very exciting to a listener of Randy's music. Randy has (he is still alive) great composing and licks/techniques ( such as the ones you taught ) that keeps a listener totally fixated on his songs/music !!!!!! RESPECT
Well done! I'm now subscribed to your channel! You've shown many similar techniques to what I (try to) do successfully, but with slight variations! You have also demonstrated a wide breadth of knowledge of music theory, which I know very little of! (I've always been able to listen to a song and play it. Therefore, by "playing by ear" (prior to MTV, the internet, and the amazing access to information available today) I never had the need, time (I'm a physician), or desire to learn theory, until now, and I realize just how little I know about it! I will check your other videos, and am looking forward to learning more from you! Great job! Love Randy Rhoads!!
awesome video man, THANK YOU
Randy left us all way too early and I think of him and the awesome music he brought us every day since he died in that tragic plane crash. Love ya Randy
Nice video! Thanks for the RR techniques :)
31:42
Yes he did it! With his Les Paul. An example: youtube -> crazy train after hours -> 5:00
Anyway, great video! Cheers.
Excellent lesson!
Really nice breakdown thank you.
You've done your homework on his style. My favorite guitarists after hearing Blizzard. We all have our own guitar lingo too. YES we understand what you mean when explaining techniques haha. Great job!
Thanks for keeping Randy's playing alive.
Great video thanks.
Great lesson dude thanks a lot 👍🏼
Man, at first I did not like the way you started out being apologetic and stuff. But I watched the entire video. You are a humble badass!! Well done!
great video! thanks!
This is such an awesome and instructional video. Thanks man!
Excellent Guitar Lesson & Tribute!
☆☆☆☆☆
great video, glad to have come across it, nice breakdowns on these techs
Awesome how you figured all this out.
The pick slide on Crazy Train actually starts as the amp is turned on, giving that sort of gradual fade in. Almost impossible to recreate live at that time, thus the intro we came to love on Tribute.
Randy kind of "tickled" the strings, turned on the amp, and did the slide as the amp powered up.
Well done looking towards a part 2 to this!!!
I love my esp flying v, imo it's far more comfy than an axe. It has a nook that kind of locks into place. To each their own though, great video at always!! Thank you!
Excellent video!
Great video, Mike...loved it!!
Beautiful guitar, killer tone, great video!
Great video! Randy was the G.O.A.T and SRV 2nd in my opinion.
Man You are such a wonderful guitar instructor! Thanks bro for all the videos! 5 stars1
I absolutely love this! I grew up with Randy Rhoads on guitar, and Ozzy and No More Tears. Now I'm 40 years old, but the music lives Within. Occasionally it even comes out, just like this man and his Auto pick. ♡
Thanks for the harmonic on G and D. I didn't see that coming but now I do. Many thanks for making this video. Have a wonderful day.
Such a helpful video, thank you 🙏🏽
I already knew this stuff but this video is really excellent.. 5/5!! You do a great job.
This is great, shows you what a genius Randy was, I do not think people truly appreciate his songwriting and his ability to makes things simpler.
I really liked this man !
Also Randy played everything different every show, he was a true musician!
I am back studying Randy again. Great video- thanks
Nice tribute to a great innovative player.... Cheers from Seattle!
Thanks man. A great video.
Make a video on Jake E Lee please. There really is no much videos about his techniques and licks, and he is really great guitar player! :D
"Bark at the Moon" (title track) has amazing Lee solos in the middle and at the end!
@@voronOsphere One of the best. Maybe if there had been a guitarist between Randy and him he would have been appreciated more. I think his solos are almost as good technically, on par sound wise and some of his rhythm stuff like Bark at the Moon would have impressed Randy. The two certainly stand head and shoulders above Zakk musically. He might be able to play their stuff but not come up with something like that. He's great but Jake deserves at least half of his fame and money.
Awesome tricks man randy would be proud of you teaching them!
Randy does almost ALL HAMMER ONS-PULL OFFS for the Crazy Train solo and when you see so many people play it, they pick all the notes or tap them. His fingers were AMAZINGLY strong in that he could not only hammer on so well that it sounds like he is picking, but he could do it endlessly. That goes along with your #2-#3.
Love your content!
