Thanks also for your calm humble laid back demeanor.

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!

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!

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.

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.

Randy and Jason Becker...the 2 greatest losses the guitar world has ever experienced .

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!

My life is broken into two parts: before I heard RR on Tribute, and after. After is better!

I'm loving these Randy Rhodes lessons man!! Thanks so much; when I heard Tribute for the first time back in 87' it totally changed my life!!!

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.

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!

LOVES BOTH!! jake & rhoads

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!

Great Job! I learn so much that keeps guitar practice interesting. Thank you.

I'm very grateful for these lessons!

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!

Love Randy's unique sound. Great lesson. Thank you

Randy is my all time favorite

Randy was the reason why I started to play. I still remember when my friend called me to tell me the sad news. It drove me harder.

What a great resource and service this channel provides.

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.

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

Outstanding gift for all of us, thank you for sharing.

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.

That arpeggio exercise is amazing!

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

My Guitarist of all R.R.

Hearing tribute is what made me pursue guitar .

Thank you. That was sooo awesome!! Randy was the best. Period

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 ....

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!

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.

40 years ago today. RIP Randy 😮‍💨🤘

Great lesson! Love your approach to teaching and thanks for the tabs.

My favorite part of his live solo as well!

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.

Dude! what an awesome lesson... love these 3 licks and the way you go through explaining them. Thank you!!! Very excited to go home and work on them.

Dude this channel just gets better and better the more I explore it! You’re a sponge for picking up different players licks!

You sound like Randy live ! Impressive!

Excellent lesson thanks for sharing. That lick had grabbed me the same way when I first heard it .

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!!

Spot on!!

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

your awesome my friend....you can teach Randy all day....

Man, I love these lessons even more now! Thank you!

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

This solo was a game changer for me. Took me years to work up the nerve to attempt it. Randy is still the single biggest influence in my playing. Thanks for a great lesson and for keeping him in the public's eye (er, ears, I guess).

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.

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.!.

I love your lessons. I really enjoyed Chuck Berry 1972.

That was the best one yet!!!!!

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.

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.

It's such a brilliant solo! Great randy lesson and your playing does it justice sir👍🏻

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

Awesome man appreciate it a lot very cool

Dude ...love the channel...and you have a great ear for hearing what makes something sound interesting and being able to share it!...

Excellent lesson. Thanks for this. You really know your stuff!

Awesome lesson, Nice one thanks for sharing!

I like when Randy goes from diminished melotonic to quad dualitonic to megasmashurface!! Bam!!

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 video and super lesson. Love your presentation

Miss Randy Rhoads RIP Randy

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.

Thank you for this awesome lesson.

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.

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.

Awesome lesson! Thanks for sharing

Dave.... you inspire me to pick the guitar up! Best channel on youtube!

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! 👍🎸🎶

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.

Great lesson - thank you!

You are a mellow cat. RR would appreciate your humility. Thank you.

Great lesson, thank you!

That solo is sooooo 'alive'! I don't know if you know what I mean. Wow!

Very Nice!!

Your amazing very skilled at teaching thanks for sharing

Great quality . I’m very pleased with the quality of this lesson. I actually learned something . Thank you. New sub!

Pretty cool video, the tabs definitely helped

Excellent lesson. Excellent playing and tone.

like your videos and the,way you present them. great work. this idea of taking a lick and making it your own is cool

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.!!!!!!!!

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;-)

I saw Randy n Ozzy in 81 with Motorhead at the Capitol Theatre NJ

Thanks so much for this!

Great lesson. Thanks

This was awesome! Randy's always been in my favorite top 2 (him and Ace). Just recently found your page, but I'll be back. Great work, keep it up.

Great lesson! Nice licks and great playing, thank you very much :) I will give it a try when I have some more time

Your def one of the best guitar teachers on here

best lessons on youtube

Great Articulate lessons!! Enjoy them alot👍🏻

Dude, this is awesome.

Excellent content. Thank you!

Very cool Dave.I saw the Blizzard of Ozz tour with Randy back in the day before he sadly passed.

Great lessons and playing man! You're a cool guy

Awesome as always DB!
