Randy Rhoads is a real player. He master the instrument and told Ozzy he was leaving the band to get his Masters degree in classical music. I miss you Randy.
Very good! I took lessons from Randy ,but I was in a head on collision 9 years ago,so I have had to re learn playing guitar with out feeling in my left hand! Thanks for posting the video!
Wow - thank you so much and that's so awesome that you took lessons from Randy. That's impressive! Sorry to hear about the injury, but I hope you gain something form these lessons and this material and thanks again for watching and this comment! ROCK ON \m/
Thank you and I couldn't agree more. It's mind boggling to think of what he might have done had he lived beyond 1982. :-\ Anyway, thanks again and take care!
I’m actually sorry you had to wait until 1987 to hear this. I copied this on a cassette from the King Biscuit Flower Hour in 1981! It’s what got me started on guitar, and I appreciate your lesson bringing back those memories! Thanks!
dochort21 Same here, I got it at a bootleg fair, it has a great version of this solo, they left it off of the Tribute album for some reason and inserted one from a different evening.
My first arena concert was the Blizzard of Ozz tour in Glens Falls, NY where Randy ripped it up and blew my mind and my ears. Still haven't recovered. If there is one musician in heaven I want to jam with, it's Randy. We couldn't possibly imagine Randy and EVH concocting worship music so grandiose it might be worthy of heaven's blessing, but I hope we get to hear it someday in the bye and bye.
Right there with you on everything you said - Randy's tone on that LIVE release was kinda jaw-dropping and I thought the same thing - DAMN! Why didn't he have this tone on the records?? Same with the playing... I thought the solo was brilliantly musical while still being something guitarists would wanna learn. WELL DONE.
This guy's channel from 10 years ago has less than 2000 subscribers. Less than 200,000 views. This channel currently has 7 million views and 80k + subscribers! I suppose it's all in the presentation. Thanks for the MANY uploads all these years! Fantastic!
I remember listening to KLOS and KMET (two So Cal radio stations) and KMET would play live concert recordings on Saturday nights. I would capture them on cassette tapes and listen a million times. The solo piece Randy did was actually from a different night then the rest of Suicide Solution. You can hear it was spliced together if you listen closely. I had a tape with that exact solo from an Ozzy concert. When Randy ended the solo he started back into the song again a bit quicker than what appears on Tribute. No matter. I'm just glad it finally made its way to an official release. My cassette tapes got eaten up by my player decades ago. Rock on Dave! You're doing the Lord's work.
Hey thanks for this one. I used #2 tonight in a couple places on a gig. VH is my favorite but I’ve always learned more usable stuff from Randy. Thanks again.
Dude, your a teaching treasure! It cracks me up when you say, “something like this” and totally nail it! I hope your channel continues to grow as people discover you and that you make some $ in advertising! Take care!
Who in the world would thumb down...Dave, great job! I thought that solo spawned the shred careers of many up and coming guitar players. You could attempt Jakes ultimate Ozzie solo! I’ve never heard anyone even attempt it! Your videos are a gold mine!
I first got this recording on the King Biscuit Flower Hour in the 80s on cassette. I was blown away by this solo. The same parts that you highlighted here I transcribed 30 years ago. It was the anti-Eruption. Pure genius and Randys sound was epic. Thanks again for your 3 for all!
Fantastic lesson, both theory and how to play it. Randy was definitely my favorite and I too love the same part of the solo as you. Thanks for posting this!!
I love these short snippets that you teach us, allows me to get some insight into the technique that great guitarists use without drowning in a mass of notes. I can use them when I practice and build up speed. I’ve even applied some of these in my own solos.
The part you said really caught your ear really caught mine too but i didnt have the patience to sit and learn and maybe not even the skill at that time. I was at a music store shortly after that and i heard a younger kid than me playing it and i was in awe and envy. How dare he play that beautiful part in front of me. That showed me i had to dedicate myself more not into becoming a Randy clone but someone that could throw these beautiful little pieces of musical eargasms at will out there to stun the people around me.Here we are 35 years later and i still havent learned it. Its not beyond my skill level but Randy just knew things about guitar that us mere mortals didnt understand.
Love your lessons, man! Totally unique approach, great for when I feel like I'm getting bored practicing and just wanna mess around with a new lick right away, and you carefully select the killer licks.
Wow. Great insights on a solo that just scrambled my brain when I saw him play it at Alpine Valley waaaaay back. Nice to see someone like you who knows your stuff but hasn’t let it go to your head. Subscribed and Liked!
just think what Randy could have given the music world if he had lived long enough,,,wow!!,,,I can't imagine ,,,,Thank you for teaching one of the greatest guitar players to ever grace us with his skills,,,YOU do an awesome job ,,,your a very good teacher and have learned a lot from you videos,,,keep em' going,,,,would love to hear you doing some blues techniques ....
Also love when Randy reals back into that melodic minor part after hitting rapid fire volume cutout!! What a killer choice of notes and hes like crying through the guitar
4:45 ... this point is what stands out most to me about Randy's playing: complementary ascending and descending runs, everywhere. Listen to the solo in SATO especially (but Mr. Crowley... well, pretty much everything)... it's mind boggling.
Dude, I absolutely love your lessons, you pack so much into all of your videos, and I just appreciate what you do. You're so fun, and so knowledgeable and you really dig up so much gold on all these great players. I appreciate you.
Im 31 now. I was in my mid teens when I discovered Ozzy/Randy. When I heard the live version of Paranoid on the Ozzy Boxset, my mind was blown. I immediately sought out Tribute. Playing a long to that live album took my playing from from 1 level to another
When Tribute came out, I remember realizing that there was a whole new way to play guitar in a band context - it didn't seem that anyone else was playing like Randy in a 1 guitar band setup (blending the best of the rhythm and lead parts). The magazine all had the RR vs EVH debate raging on (why not both?). BTW, at 6:56 - I like your use of the Steve Morse style alternate picking for arpeggios. Cool lesson
Just came here from the other Randy chord play vid. You remind me of me, in a sense of how you hear his solos. I obviously can't play as well as you, but we grew from the same Randy seed. Dude, hat's off to you. You have His style nailed down. That is a fine accomplishment.!.
As always very cool man! Enjoy every one of your clips I've seen! You get great fat tones and really nail the phrasing and attitude behind each lick or passage you play. It's obvious you love the players and music that you examine. Thank you.
Gosh I haven't listened to that solo in a long time, but each lick brings it instantly to mind. I also heard the A major "thing" and couldn't get it out of my head.
always liked your videos. because with each different topic. you have a different pictured framed on the right. then your voice is so calming an smooth to listen too. keep up the great work.!!!!!!!!
David, that live solo got me playing guitar, I was in awe....that whole album. Randy is literally my guitar hero and I’m a huge fan. Thanks for this. You nailed it! RIP RANDY
Thank u for the tabs. This lesson was great. I just found ur channel and am enjoying all of these great vids that u have published. Keep up the great work! Thanks again.
Thank you VERY much and I agree - there's something magical about Randy's playing with that solo in particular. It sounds like he was totally "on" that night and luckily they captured and released it. I've heard a few other versions/takes of that solo from that tour and while they're all great, there's something extra special about that particular performance of it and they way it flowed as he played at that show. Thanks for watching and for this comment and stick around for more lessons and material! \m/ ROCK ON \m/
I didn't know this video existed. Was just going to suggest RR. My favorite guitarist, then Jake, then SRV. Thank you, thank you 😊. This Dave guy knows his S**t.
The flat 5 lick was something I learned from my love of Randy. I still use it all the time. Muscle memory I guess. It is something I add here and there as a spice.
Nice video;-) You obviously have a good and genuine understanding of Randy's stuff and is played very well. Nice and relaxing delivery and explanations too;-)
Thank you so much! Honestly, I've always been a Randy fan, but EVH was the guy that inspired me to pick up the guitar. I was a EVH guy but also liked Rhoads, and I noticed later on that there were people on both sides and argued a lot about which was better. I always thought the fight/argument was stupid and that they're both phenomenal guitarists/musicians and I respect them both equally. : )
@@LateNightLessons exactly. 'the best' is purely subjective. It's not a fact. I love Eddie but he thinks so differently to me so he's not been such a direct influence on me as Randy has been. I identify with Randy's was of thinking more than Eddie. Both are legends in my book;-) I dig your vibrato amigo, it sounds the way I like to hear it. So many amazing players out there technically but can't make one note sound nice to my ears. I think that's waay more important;-)
Dude I LOVE your channel man!! I can watch all day. Been playing awhile and have learned more from your channel then any other. Thanks brother I appreciate you!!
this adaptation of the blues scale to diminished; suddenly had an 80s Horror flick effluvium in my mind. perfect example of bringing concepts to different contexts and making them yours. smashing lesson as always dude.
Actually at 5:56 was continued on a live version from Westwood one broadcast where Randy continued trilling up the neck. If I'm not mistaken the solo on the tribute album was pieced together from 2 live recordings.
Great playing! I liked the diminished sort of thing at the end. Randy seemed to play those modal and symmetrical shapes that had notes sticking out. They would always catch my ear and I imagine that his musical training allowed him to hear it that way in the first place. RR is the reason I had to start playing guitar. I had the RR Starlicks (!) cassette and booklet. I remember learning a lot of his licks. Sorry, I could go on all night haha. Thanks again, David!
Thank you so much! Randy was such an important player for so many people. I think he and EVH were essential in really cementing all of those ideas, tones, and licks that basically made 1980's rock guitar. I'm a huge fan of both, even though I know there's been a RR and EVH "who's better" argument happening since the early '80s. I feel they're both important and equally talented, so it's impossible to say one is better than the other. They had some ideas that were similar, but for the most part their playing style were radically different and both had a mountain of great music and ideas. : ) Rock on and thanks again!
Terrific as usual. I always loved that Amaj arpeggio sequence. Kind of interesting that Randy centered the piece around Amin, and goes to the parallel major key for a contrasting, yet complimentary major tonality. Another great lesson! 👍🎸🎶
Thanks buddy! : ) Yeah, it's inspiring to hear/see how inventive and forward-thinking Randy was at that time. He was so talented and had such a huge imagination with music too. It makes me wonder what he would've done had he lived on into the 1990s and beyond, especially with having the Internet these days. Could you imagine being able to take an online lesson with Randy Rhoads today or if he had a TrueFire/Udemy educational course or whatever? :-o YIKES I bet he would be a classical guitar professor somewhere with an impressive rock and roll resume. :-) haha
A1 lesson again David , really love the way you re ignite the passion I felt when I heard some these licks for the first time ,thank you. Great too you're going to feature chords of Jake too , I 've been listening to him a lot love the album Dust. You're right ,the melodic a minor careful in this lesson is just excellent.
Thank you again and I have the outline for Jake's lesson ready. It's going to feature a chordal riff from the new Red Dragon Cartel album too! : ) Stay tuned...
Since this COVID started,at 49 I can play mostly everything by ear,but of course RANDY the same to me is one of the most interesting!!!!! I am just about finishing theory....I just looked at your tutorial for the first time and I couldn't have pressed that subscribe button faster!!! You just gave me a super a-- ha moment everything I've learned so far,seems to just now make all the hard work I've put in come together and pay off...THANK YOU SO MUCH I HAVE BEEN LEARNING MODES,ARPS,INVERSIONS HIS STYLE IS PERFECT FOR WHERE I AM AT!!!!! And I thought the 5 pentatonic boxes opened up my playing...JAMES SCOTT NICHOLSON,ONTARIO,CANADA P.S. I'll spread the wordand thanks again
Dude! As I commented previously ( can't recall which lesson I made the comment offhand ) ; How have I not discovered you before now? Anyway, I'm over here in Australia, in the small town I grew up in ( such limited resources to aid learning back in 1988 at age 16 ) and no word of a lie, my gut just KNEW you were about to cite the A Major Arpeggio as your favourite! It's mine also. The effect on me, hearing this for the first time was just as you described! It touches my heart knowing there's this bloke over there in the U.S. ( you ) flying the flag, loving the stuff I also love. Thanks for helping re-inspire me at a pretty low point. It means so much! All the best to you!
Thanks also for your calm humble laid back demeanor.
Thank you!
: )
Kick over a chair at the end to spice things up...
Randy Rhoads is a real player. He master the instrument and told Ozzy he was leaving the band to get his Masters degree in classical music. I miss you Randy.
He also demanded money for his songwriting. Too much for Sharon, he had to be taken out.
Matufatu Gentleman omg
@@albinullanger7862 So the pilot of the plane commited suicide just to please Sharon.🤔LMAO!
So then Ozzy was like here take my cocaine and fly my plane to celebrate!!!
Exactly, Ive always thought that ozzy may have had Randy killed 😳😳😳
Very good! I took lessons from Randy ,but I was in a head on collision 9 years ago,so I have had to re learn playing guitar with out feeling in my left hand! Thanks for posting the video!
Wow - thank you so much and that's so awesome that you took lessons from Randy.
That's impressive!
Sorry to hear about the injury, but I hope you gain something form these lessons and this material and thanks again for watching and this comment!
ROCK ON \m/
Awesome lesson, Dave. Randy was one of the greats. He did so much in such a short amount of time. Tragic loss to the world of music.
Thank you and I couldn't agree more.
It's mind boggling to think of what he might have done had he lived beyond 1982.
:-\
Anyway, thanks again and take care!
I’m actually sorry you had to wait until 1987 to hear this. I copied this on a cassette from the King Biscuit Flower Hour in 1981! It’s what got me started on guitar, and I appreciate your lesson bringing back those memories! Thanks!
That's awesome that you hear it that early on.
: o wow : o
So cool!
Thank you for watching and stick around for more lessons and material!

Same here, I got it at a bootleg fair, it has a great version of this solo, they left it off of the Tribute album for some reason and inserted one from a different evening.
Lol I did the same thing. And loved his version of Paranoid with all the fills.
I had an actual vinyl record called Bats Head Soup. My older brother bought it somewhere. That was the first I heard RR live, and I was blown away.
My first arena concert was the Blizzard of Ozz tour in Glens Falls, NY where Randy ripped it up and blew my mind and my ears. Still haven't recovered. If there is one musician in heaven I want to jam with, it's Randy. We couldn't possibly imagine Randy and EVH concocting worship music so grandiose it might be worthy of heaven's blessing, but I hope we get to hear it someday in the bye and bye.

I caught that one weekend night on the Westward One Radio Network! Wishing I still had my cassette
Hey thanks for this one. I used #2 tonight in a couple places on a gig. VH is my favorite but I’ve always learned more usable stuff from Randy. Thanks again.
Great Job! I learn so much that keeps guitar practice interesting. Thank you.
Love Randy's unique sound. Great lesson. Thank you
What a great resource and service this channel provides.

Chris Fisher
Even though I'm a massive Eddie fan I preferred this solo over Eruption, it was much more interesting melodically.
I HAD that one too!, Is that where he sneaks some Chuck Berry licks into the show?
@@richardjewett7702 lol. I think he did on Paranoid!
Randy and Jason Becker...the 2 greatest losses the guitar world has ever experienced .
Jason becker is still composing
Randy is my personal favorite but,?Hendrix,Srv,dimebag etc...so many epic losses.Becker is still making music me thinks.
Jasons not dead though, made an album less than 2 years ago! Obviously ALS is terrible still.
Michael Gawne : not decomposing, then? 😂
I agree these were big losses . I miss Randy's style he was on another level for sure
I'm very grateful for these lessons!
Another great RR lesson. Thank you.
Fantastic lesson, both theory and how to play it. Randy was definitely my favorite and I too love the same part of the solo as you. Thanks for posting this!!
Dude this channel just gets better and better the more I explore it! You’re a sponge for picking up different players licks!
Great lesson! Love your approach to teaching and thanks for the tabs.
You're welcome and thanks so much!

Thank you. That was sooo awesome!! Randy was the best. Period
My life is broken into two parts: before I heard RR on Tribute, and after. After is better!
Dude ...love the channel...and you have a great ear for hearing what makes something sound interesting and being able to share it!...
Great lesson! Nice licks and great playing, thank you very much :) I will give it a try when I have some more time
Thank you so much and good luck with the material!
Rock on!

Nice to see the Dive album as your wallpaper. That’s great stuff.

My favorite part of his live solo as well!
Spot on!!
Thank you!!!

Great stuff man. Probably my favorite live solo from the 80s

your awesome my friend....you can teach Randy all day....
I enjoy your lessons. Just ordered a coffee mug.
That arpeggio exercise is amazing!

This Dave guy knows his S**t.
Miss Randy Rhoads RIP Randy
You sound like Randy live ! Impressive!

the "melodic A major arpeggio" is part of the Irish jig. He used to play it during his solo in the Quiet Riot days.
Great lesson. Thanks

It makes me wonder what he would've done had he lived on into the 1990s and beyond, especially with having the Internet these days.
Could you imagine being able to take an online lesson with Randy Rhoads today or if he had a TrueFire/Udemy educational course or whatever?
:-o YIKES
I bet he would be a classical guitar professor somewhere with an impressive rock and roll resume.
:-) haha
Really enjoy your lessons!
A1 lesson again David , really love the way you re ignite the passion I felt when I heard some these licks for the first time ,thank you. Great too you're going to feature chords of Jake too , I 've been listening to him a lot love the album Dust. You're right ,the melodic a minor careful in this lesson is just excellent.

Just started watching your lessons. Really good interesting stuff.

Very cool lesson brother keep up the great work.

Thanks for watching too and stay tuned, more good stuff is on the way!
cheers bro
Since this COVID started,at 49 I can play mostly everything by ear,but of course RANDY the same to me is one of the most interesting!!!!! I am just about finishing theory....I just looked at your tutorial for the first time and I couldn't have pressed that subscribe button faster!!! You just gave me a super a-- ha moment everything I've learned so far,seems to just now make all the hard work I've put in come together and pay off...THANK YOU SO MUCH I HAVE BEEN LEARNING MODES,ARPS,INVERSIONS HIS STYLE IS PERFECT FOR WHERE I AM AT!!!!! And I thought the 5 pentatonic boxes opened up my playing...JAMES SCOTT NICHOLSON,ONTARIO,CANADA P.S. I'll spread the wordand thanks again

Great lessons and playing man! You're a cool guy
Excellent lesson 🤘
Thanks so much for this!
Dude! As I commented previously ( can't recall which lesson I made the comment offhand ) ; How have I not discovered you before now? Anyway, I'm over here in Australia, in the small town I grew up in ( such limited resources to aid learning back in 1988 at age 16 ) and no word of a lie, my gut just KNEW you were about to cite the A Major Arpeggio as your favourite! It's mine also. The effect on me, hearing this for the first time was just as you described! It touches my heart knowing there's this bloke over there in the U.S. ( you ) flying the flag, loving the stuff I also love. Thanks for helping re-inspire me at a pretty low point. It means so much! All the best to you!
That solo is sooooo 'alive'! I don't know if you know what I mean. Wow!
