sounds nothin like randy rhoads' style

[Shadow1169]

do you know what a demo is? that's when you take out an oppourtunity to showcase your playing... In this case, you have a guy with and instructional video, starting off by showing people some classical phrasing with sweeping etc, before going into the subject at hand. Are you with me so far ? Do you understand what I'm saying? if he would have played SUNSHINE DAY just now from the Brady Bunch, would you want lessons from him, or check out his other instructional material? I hope this helps.

rofl nothing like randy rhoads just a tapping sequence and then a bend/ vibrato afer each

[Shadow1169]

and what does Randy Rhoads do on the solo for Flying High Again?

[Worshipsatch]

How's this related to randy rhoads? His style was totally different.....

[Shadow1169]

Randy Rhoads used repeated classical sounding notes/phrasings in his solos. ie: flying high again, crazy train, mr.crowley. This video segment used repeated classical sounding notes & phrasings do you not agree?

[ng12]

all i hear is sweeping and tapping.

definitely this guy invented some whole different style.

[atpanetta]

can anyone tab this out?? i really want to play it and its too fast for my noob ears.

[goodygoody23]

this does sound a lot like something randy could have written

bunch of idiots in here think that if its in style of someone it has to be note for note what they played

[martialfan36]

Anybody know how to get ahold of dave? cause Ozzy is looking for a new guitarist right now for real.

[martialfan36]

Ozzy is looking for a new guitarist right now,Dave should check into it.

[rikardberggren]

That intro is really cool! And i think it's very alike Randy Rhoads sound really.. You can really here the scales that Dave use and the playing is very alike Randys in this instructional tape!

[SpaceAceTX]

I agree, you could relate this to Randy I suppose, but Randy's style is what made his sound unique. I've heard a hundred guys play this, but only a couple that can pull off classic Rhoads.
