Goodbye to Romance, whole w/ solos (Ozzy Osbourne/Randy Rhoads cover)

my rendition of 'Goodbye to Romance' (Ozzy Osbourne, album: Blizzard of Ozz - track: 3. Guitarist: Randy Rhoads).....this is the second version, I wanted to improve upon the previous one I had (now deleted), and I feel that this one does much better justice than my first one; it's a bit more fluid and I did the main solo this time around too (which wasn't in my first version), ended it the way Rhoads usually ended it playing it live as well.

If I critique you I feel like I'll get quartered-if not by you-your viewers, Ha! Great choice of cover. Beautiful song-no one writes shtuff like this anymore. Here goes-bring your clean and overdrive tones closer together. I wonder if maybe he merely backed off on the volume in the rythmn channel for the 'clean' verses. If memory serves me, the notes really spill out like there is some overdrive there but not full-on of course. Neck pick-up maybe? Do appreciate RR and your efforts here!

@bugietube hahaha, don't worry, I don't mind critiques/constructive criticisms at all, and I don't think the other viewers will mind either. I think you're right though, it sounds to me that's what he did too in his live playing, that the 'clean' tone was just his overdrive at a lower volume and then switched back and forth with the pickup/toggle switch. And thanks for the appreciation!

you are the best youtube guitarist who plays without a backing track of somekind... and btw.. you get this a lot but you look like cliff.. xD

[ahenn84]

@thrasherlml thanks a lot, yeah I'm actually kind of surprised there aren't more unaccompanied guitar videos out there than there currently are, they seem to be few and far between.

either you kick ass or tht jackson has magic powers.....

[ahenn84]

@elmermoreglue666 It's a little of both lol, that guitar (Randy Rhoads RR1) is indeed one of the best I've ever played, has a great feel to it.

[bugietube]

Well, in hindsight, I realize that your focus is on working through the parts, so, cool. The dynamics of the guitar tonalities is the fine tuning we do once the passage becomes second nature. One of these days I'll grab a guit and sit down and try to work thru it with the help of this and other vids. One of my favorite solos/songs-especially live-when he bends it like West.

@ahenn84 well i would do it with headphones in, but i just play rhythm and people like the solos.
