even though people think the shred lords are mab and yngwie as a 13 yr old who learnt crazy trains solo at 10 and far beyong the sun at 12 i can say randy is the goat of shred along with becker i love beckers solos theyre really fun to play
I remember someone describing Mr. Crowley as "The National Anthem of Guitar Solos" and im like, yeah. 100% it is. Its everything a guitar solo should be. Its technical, yet musical. It builds upon itself and has a distinct progression from start to finish. Its as timeless as anything out there, you could release that tomorrow and it would still turn heads.
Jon Donais from Shadows Fall. I just checked page 10 of my Guitar Legends magazine featuring Randy Rhoads. Couldn't think of a better description of this solo myself.
Mr Crowley is like the England vs Argentina match in the 1986 world cup. In that match Maradona scored two of the most talked about goals in the history of the sport and the other one featured ”the hand of god”. Well, Mr. Crowley has two of the most talked about solos in the history of traditional heavy metal and definitely ”the hand of god” must have been there when Randy was playing those solos.
@@demigod1013I don't know what Max Norman was thinking on either of those tracks. He should've let the tape run until Randy put his guitar back in the case! 😅
Mr. Crowley isn't just Ozzy's best song; it's also arguably the catalyst for what would become neoclassical metal. And for that I say God bless you, Randy!
Please, keep going with the "This Is How You REALLY Play" series!! Is so fucking good to get the 'missed details' and to note the characteristics of each guitar player!!
Everyone says evh, steve vai, and jo satriani are the greatest ever, but Randy had a style that no one else had. He had something that everyone wishes they had today. his songs are masterpieces. You can do all the sweeps and play as fast as you want but no one can be Randy. Same with Dime. Skill doesnt equal good music and songwriting.
IMO the only thing Randy was deficient in compared to them was time. If he were still alive and had been making music over all these years I think MANY folks would reorder their assessments of 'top' guitarists of all time.
As redundant and I may sound but... Let's talk about how clean your execution is! Man this solo is not easy and you could hear every single goddamn note... Impressive!
One of the greatest solos ever written and played of all time as far as I’m concerned. Brad, might I just say as well that your tone is fucking brilliant as well! 🤘🎸
@@somethingbl I thought so but didn't bother Googling it and I never studied the nuances of who played on which old album from grade skool cuz I didn't actually care that much cuz I just play SLAYER and my comment still stands that it's a great album.
@somethingbl Eh, Jake E. Lee was still a very underrated guitarist, especially amongst all of Ozzy's collaborators. Bark At The Moon is my favorite Ozzy solo album, and a big part of that is due to Lee's contributions to the songwriting and guitar work. That being said,
These otherworldly solos give you goose bumps and an adrenaline rush at the same time! Still a peerless guitar player 42 years after his death. Your execution is amazing on these as always.
That was amazing! Note for note. Perfect timing and inflection. It was mentioned “for his time”, but wasn’t his style inspired by classical music of centuries past? Kind of implies he was ahead of his time. I personally feel he was exactly at his time.
Bradley. You are great player, great comic and the best character in TH-cam. Love your work. Thanks from Poland! Keep the good stuff coming. BTW, Piece of mind IS the iconic Maiden album…
Apart from all of his solos he was an incredible songwriter. I think what separates good guitar players from the greats is the ability to write music. Randy had that at a very very young age. I still think about what would've been if he was still here.
Been on and off learning this for three years now. Got stuck at the insanely weird part at 1:21. Recently I‘m working hard to finally get it done. But all this time I never was bored for a second by this true masterpiece!
Back in the 90s my stepbrother who was late 20s was a evh fanatic! First time sweep picking was ever known to me as I watched his hands do magic. Me being a RR young kid I asked him to play Randy all the time. He never did. Now I'm older and youtube has taught me both guitarists were on the outs at that time back in tye day so no wonder he wouldn't play RR...
I didn't hear Blizzard Of Ozz until 2003 (I was born in 91) but I was entranced by Randy's playing on that album. This solo along with Crazy Train and Goodbye to Romance were a huge part of me wanting to learn how to play.
Randy ate soo hard it's insane he was only in his 20s when he created this I recently listened to both blizzard of ozz and Diary of a madman and every guitar solo made my jaw drop Gosh may he rest in peace ☹️
I will never be able to play like this. I've been playing for 30 years and just accepted that the best I can do is tripping over my own fingers through the solos in Nothing Else Matters. Not hard solos at all for people that know what they're doing. I'm completely self taught and play almost everything by ear. I'll use tabs when I can't figure something out. A lot of times I will learn something and look at the tab later and realize I've been playing it in the wrong spot on the neck. I tried many times to learn music theory and scales and stuff and it just never sticks. I tell people that playing guitar is a little bit like magic. Once you know how the trick is done and/or can do it yourself, it's not impressive anymore. This is still very impressive to me.
It's crazy to think when this was first conceived by Randy, it was still 1979. This is just not a sound you expect to have developed in the 70s. EvH and Randy truly built the 80s together, they are the fathers of modern rock and metal.
You're right about one thing - most of the tabs online *are* disgusting for this, especially the high descending legato part about 30% of the way through the first solo!
Such a tragic and senseless loss. He changed the world in an album and a half. I can’t even begin to imagine what he ultimately would’ve had ahead of him.
This solo taught me that true genius lies in not just learning all the theory and technique, but in writing a solo people can whistle, an actual tune, just at 500 mph and bouncing off the walls where appropriate.
AHA! A man after my own heart - so many people play that descending lick after the repeating pattern at the second half of the first solo on consecutive strings in 10th position as opposed to descending horizontally down the B string. '
Love the video! Helped me a ton and it's thanks to you! I've wanted to ask what's the green pick you're using? I've always wanted a pick shaped like that but never can find them
I saw someone on TH-cam saying that Rhandy's solos are difficult because on the original records the solo sessions are, in fact, two solos almost identical but slightly different at the same time.
Easily one of my favorite guitar solos of all time, Speaking of being ahead of his time - Check out Uli John Roth's intro solo in "Sails of Charon" by Scorpions.
I believe Uli Jon Roth is the guitar name for protoshred. Before the 3 boys from Los Angeles came to light (Randy, Eddie Van Halen and George Lynch), in Germany there was already Uli Jon Roth. Van Halen in their club days in LA did Scorpions covers like "Catch your train" and "Speedy's Coming". Interesting that Ed doesn't admit Schenker and Uli as his influences.
My favourite type of your content! I’m a sucker for all your series, but haven’t been enjoying the commentary side of it. You’re more talented at other things, but regardless of my opinion, I hope you succeed and always keep your cools!
This is awesome... What an amazing work you have done. I would love to hear you do the "Tribute" live version which IMO is even better than the album ❤️❤️❤️
This is great and I'm a member of your school but I'm wondering if a lot of people could more easily see what you are playing if you were using a guitar with fret markers, even just dots. I realize the tab is there but watching where it's played is also useful. (like your Ibanez)
Extremely well done ! I’d expect nothing less from Beanley hallsworth!! Also check out the live bootleg from Taunton Odeon October 1980 ! You looking at me has sick solo fills , crazy train intro and outro is the best version hands down , mr Crowley is awesome(additional keyboard intro ) guitar solo is superb , suicide solution excellent solo and children of the grave has an extra long juicy solo !!
Sick. I'll just say it, even though it's just my opinion. I enjoy watching your videos because you get a better recorded tones than some of the originals that let me enjoy the songs again. And your playing is smoking. There.
I don’t know how but I have never heard this masterpiece before! Fucking phenomenal - can’t imagine how mad this must have sounded back when it first came out!

It's not free :(
The fact Randy wrote these solos in his early 20's is crazy
And in 1979-1980 as well
🔥🔥🔥🔥

@@99Gara99 oh geez. Do not start. Gibraltar and Malta
These two solos on Mr.Crowley was Randy's crowning achievement as a guitarist/composer. A timeless metal neo-classical masterpiece.
Idk Revelation (Mother Earth) might have it beat. And Tonight if it didn't fade out so early 😅
@@zacharymutter8432 The outro solo on Mr.Crowley also fades out too early 😀

"Mr. Beanley, what went on in your head?" 🙂
Awesome job!🤘
One of my favourite solo of all-time!🎸🔥
Ngl, ive heard this solo sooooo many times and that still made me feel that darkness that was Crowley's work! Very nice!
I subscribed before the video was even halfway finished. I'm 46 and before I pass, i need to complete this solo.
As redundant and I may sound but... Let's talk about how clean your execution is! Man this solo is not easy and you could hear every single goddamn note... Impressive!
Absolutely wonderful playing Mr Beanley
One of the greatest solos ever written and played of all time as far as I’m concerned. Brad, might I just say as well that your tone is fucking brilliant as well! 🤘🎸
Two of the greatest solos of all time! 🎸 There is so much going on and it is all brought together perfectly.
Nobody made guitar cry like Randy! May the legend rest in peace! Awesome Vid!
These two solos and the outro of “Revelation (Mother Earth)” are some of the most amazing pieces of art in Metal. Ever. Randy Rhoads!
That was unreal awesome dude... BArk at the Moon, Mr. Crowley, Over the Mountain, great songs and memorable solo's!
FYI Bark at the Moon isn't Randy, it's Jake E. Lee

End solo is proof you can be super technical and play emotionally at the same time
Love the "just shred random notes in descending order" on the part of the tablature on the second solo.
Randy was the catalyst for the neoclassical metal guitar movement.
That's by far the best Mr. Crowley solo cover ever
These otherworldly solos give you goose bumps and an adrenaline rush at the same time! Still a peerless guitar player 42 years after his death. Your execution is amazing on these as always.
One of my favorite solos of all time! And it is one of those pieces that could literally play on and on for eternity!
Yet another classic masterpiece magnificently done by our favorite monocled maestro of metal, Beanley Hallsworth. 🫡🎩🧐
Favourite guitar solos these
That was amazing! Note for note. Perfect timing and inflection.
It was mentioned “for his time”, but wasn’t his style inspired by classical music of centuries past? Kind of implies he was ahead of his time. I personally feel he was exactly at his time.
I never realised how much early Kirk Hammett seemed to be inspired by Randy
Bradley finally uses the whammy bar on his Solar X 😝
Bradley. You are great player, great comic and the best character in TH-cam. Love your work. Thanks from Poland!
Keep the good stuff coming.
BTW, Piece of mind IS the iconic Maiden album…

So many great solos we never got to hear because he was taken far, far too soon 🤘🏻😔
One of the sickest solo of all time , another guy that pass soon 😢

This guitar solo and cliffs of Dover or the two bucket list guitar solos that everyone should learn!!
this solo was the reason why I wanted to play guitar
I’m so glad you played the middle solo. I feel like it is often so overlooked compared to the ending solo… but it’s actually the better one imho!
Thank you! First accurate solo with the palm muting in the beginning. You did a spectacular job!
That was flawless!

two masterpiece albums
I'm loving this series so much man! i hope one day you do All Guns Blazing by Judas Priest
Perfect description and phenomenal respectful execution ❤ true, that second solo is pure genius!!
This song singlehandedly got me into soloing, and turned me into the neo-classical metal addict I am today.
He REALLY knew how to BUILD a solo...thanks
Bro wtf, stop showing us up Bradley! I felt so proud for being able to finally sync up my hands SOMEWHAT

Ah, Randy, my first guitar hero. Great transcription and performance. That guy was definitely a pioneer.
Honestly i think Mr Crowley has the best metal solo's of all time after Tornado. Soo fucking good dude.

I really love this solo. This is my Top 1 best solo of all time (for me). I specifically love the live version. I think it was on TV
Rip Randy. Such inspiration for young people
I know this doesn't mean much but this is my favorite guitar solo of all time.
This means much
This was an ad? Damn I fell for it. Time to use my credit card I guess.
Wow really amazing work!! Thanks and cheers from Portugal 👌🤘
I love how the live recorded version is better in my opinion cause Randy lets it all out in that version
Amazing solo - we lost out on so much of Randy’s potential by his early death 😢. RIP
Shivers .. Shivers every single f**kin time .
Mr. Crowleys soloes and Orion interlude is the wet dream of all Power Metal bands.
I love this Solo ! You are fantastic ! 🤟
