@RodneySTR You need the backing track for this Randy masterpiece. Without it it can become lost and a little boring. Check out the iTunes festival 2010 version in dropped tuning. It kills.
Dude that was nice! I too was heavily influenced by Randy back in the 80s when I was learning. If anyone out there is interested in a guitar lesson on the Randy Rhoads' version, please check out my channel - I just added the video. I include breakdowns of each lick, tabs on the screen, and I review the scales and theory behind it too. Rock on!
@topher87090 Both, Randy is the mastermind who played and created all guitar parts for Ozzys classics - crazy train, i dont know, over the mountain and so on. He was amazing, R.I.P
Fucking Mind Blowing man. great job. far better then I can do. now can you accept this request. can you do the Live Randy Rhodes Version of this song as found on the Tribute CD?
i cant do those fucking natural harmonics motherfucker lol comes out sooo caca sounding. you gotta lightly tap the fret but just enough to hit that note right ?
Yeah you're supposed to rest your finger on the string on the 12th fret for example (there are others such as 5 and 7) pick and take your finger away immediately if you want the sound to sustain
nice fukin job!!!!smoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooth...dont hide your face ol timer i can tell by yer hands!!!!!unbelieveable 100%note 4 noe...almost like a lesson from randy....thanx!!!!
damn man you're awesome!! im trying to learn this song to..but i get stuck at the bridge with the clean sound...that part is difficult! (and ofcourse the solo..but im trying to improv that at a slower speed =P) but man..this is a good video of the song to learn some stuff!! it's better than tabs i think! greetz from Holland
Dude that was completely awesome...I wish Ozzy would pick you up and drop Zakk Wylde, his style and lack of skill just ruins most Randy songs...i'd much rather hear you on tours lol
@abzdefg321123 you're fucked. as much as i love randy rhoads (i've listened to blizzard and diary each a million times)... zakk wylde is such a phenomenally exciting player, and plays the randy songs with such fire and passion. zakk is an absolute monster live and has more strength in his hands than iommi rhoads and lee put together. he was perfect for ozzy.
he would be regarded as the best oz guitarist ever if ozzy had recorded more zakk material that ended up as BLS material.
@loknloll You're kidding, right? Randy was this phenomenal at the age of, what, 25? You can clearly hear the constant evolution in his music from Blizzard to Diary. His life was cut short and we don't know what he would have put out. Just listen to how unique it is even 28 years later. STILL no one like him.
Zakk has had the same style since he showed up. I love Zakk and his work is phenomenal as well. But you managed to single-handedly shit all over three of the best guitarists of the age.
@3dEnthusiast you have to understand i'm as big an ozzy fan as your gonna find. i'm an actual sit-in-front-of-the speakers type of oz enthusiast, as well as a guitarist. technically, for me? lee is the most out there. i didn't intend to shit on beloved randy... i go back and forth on everyone's merits in relation to ozzy in my own head. i really feel if ozzy had recorded 20 of the absolutely suitable and best BLS tracks, the osbourne legacy would be insane. but he didn't. to zakk's discredit.
@beano1eye a matter of opinion my friend. i love jake e lee, and the 2 albums he did with ozzy. he was a phenomenal player. the point i keep making is, if ozzy had recorded zakk's best material, it would have made zakk even more appreciated than he already is.
there are so many BLS tracks that i can imagine ozzy singing, and it would have meant we'd have the sickest ozzy back catalog, a legacy even more mental than it is now. ozzy singing, destruction overdrive, funeral bell? fuck...
@loknloll didn't Ozzy let Zakk go because he thought Ozzy Osbourne were sounding to much like BLS, so I don't think there was ever a chance of Ozzy singing BLS stuff IMO.
@beano1eye if you understand the contract Zakk had with Sharon, Ozzy gets first option on anything Zakk wrote. so, if Suicide Messiah shows up on a BLS record and Sharon and Oz had never heard it, they could (and would|) sue Zakk. the point being, they passed up a lot of killer tracks which Zakk took home and did with BLS. it originally wasn't to sound less like BLS but less like old Ozzy and Sabbath. which is also why they didn't ever record with Rick Rubin who wanted to do a classic Oz disc.
I've seen several of videos of this guy playing other songs also. He is pretty freakin' dead-on with this one as well. Check out "Atomic Punk" by Van Halen(look for his guitar)...absoultely sick! Apparently he's a Eddie and Randy fan..but then again who isn't. Keep up the GREAT work dude...very inspirational.
Wow! If that isn't spot on perfect, I don't know what is!! Excellent playing!! Maybe I can learn this the whole way through, maybe not, but just to watch it played well is fun enough!
@goodevening24 its comments like yours people should be saying more often than criticising, i think randy would be proud of even the crappiest covers on here, i think he would be proud that people are just trying to play his stuff that inspired them!
Outstnding.... simply Outstanding! I've play that many times but never as good as you! Love your playing during the bridge... as far as tabs you can find the in old guitar player mags done by Andy Aledort and there is a book which I have and I think Andy Aledort transcribed that one too. Check Amazon

jeez are u randy's dad or what u play amazing and the tone is just almost exact with Randy 5 stars. can u tell me how good that axe is ur using ive been thinking about getting one.
damn dude you play it wayyy different than i do especially at the bridge but it sounds just like it man you should do some more songs that are played by Rhoads
In again bro....damn! you nailed this one...what a great tune ! I thought the Paul would be more suitable...but the Ibanez has it down !!Cheers Todd !
Good god Thorny - no disrespect to RR but you sure owned his part there. You've had these skills all this time and you are just breaking them out now? What else you got?
ok this is a little wilder than i usually can handle which makes me even more surprised that not only did i not turn it off.... but i even ended up loving itttttt! very very nice! i just usually listen to very mellow stuff so this is very much out of the ordinary for me.. so you are very good to make me love it !
