You could do 1000 hours of Randy’s guitar parts & I would never get tired of them. He is my favorite guitar player of all time. He had it all. God bless Randy Rhoads
Many guys say "Anyone can play like RR" but they don't understand that he was recording all of this intricate guitar work before most. There were some who did record it but not the same way Randy did by fusing it with Metal. I can only imagine the music we would have been blessed with if Randy were still alive. I love the way Randy wanted every song to have it's own sound and story. Many guitarists are great but their music sounds very much the same on every album. Blizzard of Oz and Diary of a Madman sounded completely different even though they were recorded close together.
How apt this is posted on Delores Rhoads' birthday today! She would have been 100! Blessed to have met her a few years ago. Great work Dave, you and Randy seem to be kindred spirits!
Same here .saw him in Sep 81 in Tampa Florida in this extremely small Hall (simular to large HS auditorium)probably more than 1500-2000 people total .I was on the floor right up front as close to the stage as you can get and on right side dead in front of Randy .like 10 ft in front of him and probably like you I was blowed away .I was 16 and had been to 40-50 concerts before this night (including Van Halen 2 times) and was a Van Halen fan big time from the age of 13 when their debut album released .that being said after this show Randy was my new favorite guitarist bar none .Randy just had such a strong stage presence like nothing or no one else I'd ever seen before or after it was crazy .he was the total embodiment of a true Rockstar. you just couldn't take your eyes off of him and he noticed me staring and just stared right back smiling and laughing at me practically the whole set .and he had this way to make his music resonate throughout your entire body .no one played with more of a presence and FEELING than Randy Rhoads .A very young Def Leppard opened up for Ozzy and this was just after their first album "On Through The Night" I believe .they rocked so hard nothing like compaired to the commercial stuff that they turned into doing for MTV .
Same. I heard the Tribute album and thought I want to be like that as a guitar player. I bought a guitar but was never able to play like Randy, but let's face it, who can?
Randy along with Ed and Al VH, they started young because of their parents - they had music in their blood. A gift of God! What's amazing is how Randy and Edward grew up at the same time and only 15 miles away from one another.
I learned it when I was 14 and relearned it last spring when I was teaching online after being displaced from Ukraine on a borrower classical guitar. It nece an obsession to get it perfect.
Great lesson! I was 18 when I figured out the chord shapes for diary of a madman by ear.... Now I'm 52 I finally know what they are! Great channel Thanks.
Quarantine salutes from Sweden, thanks for all you content again. Your knowledge and detective approach is perfect, just keep on feeding YT this and u will be a guitar institution.
I grew up in Burbank, Randy was a hometown boy. Many of us took lessons from him. My Jr. High Band teacher lived across the street from Randy and got his number for me. Randy was sweet and kind, patient and incredibly talented. He indeed loved Classical. I visited my teacher years after Randy died. Randy's Rabbit was still parked in his spot in the driveway.
Thank you! So much! Absolutely love this video/lesson! I'm 62 year old musician from ATX. Played in many bands mostly rock, folk rock, blues, jazz since I was a teenager. Started taking Classical guitar lessons (first lessons ever) 2 years ago and has taken my playing and composing to a whole new level! What I would have given to start at 7 on Classical guitar! Just subscribed! Thanks again! Omg! Almost fell over just finished end of video. I'm working on etude #6 by Brouwer right now! Wrote a piece about a year ago and shared it with my instructor. She said your piece reminds me of Leo Brouwer. So, she turned me on to Brouwer; which she was going to anyway. Just started a bit earlier. I was complimented no doubt. Now that I'm familiar with Brouwer I totally love his work. He has some very far out pieces as I'm sure you know. Yes! Bach is king. That's again brother.
David you are seriously entertaining in a calming and relaxing way, you definitely have a considerably abundant knowledge of music and an amazing ability to explain it...this channel is like meditation for me!? You have a relaxing way of getting your information across...and an amazing ability on the guitar, seriously love your channel and wish you all the success your channel deserves, 👊 peace.
Honestly that was another reason why I've been such a Randy fan since day one the classical side... Then reading his interviews,him being so down to earth and not a typical Rockstar solidified me being a fan.The fact that he wanted to quit the business to go back to learn classical guitar was just awesomely humble on his part. He did not choose to chase the lifestyle and all that goes with stardom.
@@stephenshepherd1917 I think he wanted it in the beginning , or why pursue record contract with Quiet Riot and join Ozzy . I just think he got tired of the circus and playing the same songs every night
HaHa! We are definitely of a certain age whoever remembers when Bach’s Bouree came out in GFTPM! Ahhh! That’s back in the day when as soon as we got the new monthly magazine, we’d always look to find the page that would tell us which songs were going to be in the following month!
I had a subscription and even had the T-shirt lol! I was in middle school and would definitely immediately check for the songs they would do the following month - Always felt that was the best guitar magazine ever
Had learned to play Diary when I was a kid and Randy was my main inspiration, never had any idea who Leo Brouwer was. Thanks for explaining and blowing my musical mind!
funny because I used think that some of RR solos sounded like a classical violin player - anyway another wonderful lesson. Glad I found this channel. You cover a lot of the players I’ve enjoyed and admire; and that have influenced me over the years. Keep it going !
I clicked like before this video even started. Thank you for this! Some other classical influenced songs perhaps .. Rush - La Villa Strangiato, Cinderella Man or Farewell To Kings
Just great! Those songs have been in my head since the day they came out. Now I understand how they were played! I love and appreciate your insight on the music and where it came from. Blessing to you!
Great breakdown of a master guitarist...I personally love Randy...there is no one like him...his understanding of melody and uses in really inspiring overdubs...created an unmatched style to this day...great vid
My all time favorite Rhoads! IMHO Diary of a Madman is an absolute masterpiece. Rhoads solos are lessons in themselves they cannot be changed because their perfect! As always 🍺’ski you rule!🤘
Amazing Episode Bro, Randy is the one that made me wanna play when I was a kid!! And it IS very exciting to trace musical influences back through time, so endlessly interesting and rewarding. Thanks for the great content.....rapidly becoming my favorite YT channel!!! Cheers, stay safe, healthy and groovy!
Love this lesson, really inspirational to pick through chords. I could only imagine what Randy would be creating if he was still alive..Thanks for this tribute!
Very cool presentation! Really enjoyed the backstory and watching you play the pieces. I used tab way too much and it’s really cool to see content like this that talks about chord structure. Watching the partial chords you were doing plus calling out what is happening is awesome! Thanks!
You are the Bob Ross on educating people about Randy Rhoads and his technique as well as his influences. I named my son after Randy Rhoads and I learned about Leo Brouwer the more I learned about Randy.
I've heard bits and pieces of these stories over the years but never all at once. Thanks for doinf this and I hope you do more of these types of videos.
GREAT VIDEO! Randy was truly a master of his trade. All these years later and EVERY ONE OF US is still chasing his stuff! Really great! Thanks for the upload.
What imagination and creativity in term of composition and music. Each time I listen to RR I realize how much my poor brain is frozen... I didn't come to electric guitar with Randy but he is definitely my favorite one almost since my early years. Great job as usual man!
Very well done bro. Yes I hear The similarities in Diary of a Mad Man. I know the acoustics in this song inside and out. Very well presented. Two thumbs up 👍👍
Beautiful! I really like the nylon string because your voice is level with the guitar volume haha! And of course the wonderful playing as well. Thank you for going back and forth between Randy and Johan and Leo.
Great content and energy. Randy was my very first influence and still today. 1991 was my first year in college for classical guitar. When my instructor Phil gave me the Brouwer lesson 6, I was in shock, but he had no idea what I was talking about. It took me a while to digest. That is a great memory.
I have recently subscribed and am blown away by your content. Your breakdown and delivery demystifies pieces of music that would otherwise leave me baffled. I like how you research the root of our influencers. No art can exist in a vacuum and I’m sorry to hear that you suffered some backlash from the people who don’t understand this concept. Thanks, brother!
I am really glad I found your page. Great job. Randy has always been my favorite guitarist, with his blend of classical and blues. Just the best. I never heard about him taking that classical song and turning it into Diary. Very interesting. I would like to echo Dominic's sentiment that I could listen to hours of you doing Randy's stuff. Thank you.
As a guitar teacher you want the very best for your students. I know that when you investigate you go all out. Hours of study for the perfect presentation. Every guitar player on the plant was inspired by and influenced by someone. Many thanks for bringing to light the classical side of Randy Rhoads. He was light years beyond being a great Rock and Metal player. I was very fortunate to have seen him with Ozzy 8/6/1981. Thank you for all the awesome tutorials. I am a supporter.
,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,yes,!....tnx,for an indepth intro of what most of us guitarist will discover.....😯...always good to change our rutt indusing habbits,,,......very good!!!!.....my son watches this now,,after I showed him what you teach...tnx,pat..land o' lakes,wi...........fare well, dude...
I was 11 when Diary of a madman came out. I had already been playing Classical guitar for a good few years. Brouwer was heavily featured in my education, especially the Estudios Sencillos Studies and when I heard DOAMM it turned me on to Randy forever. You can hear loads of classical all over his music. Especially Vivaldi. Great videos as usual ....
You could do 1000 hours of Randy’s guitar parts & I would never get tired of them. He is my favorite guitar player of all time. He had it all. God bless Randy Rhoads
Dominic Sofield ....AGREED

@@seansullivan4709 ive never heard anybody say 'anyone can play like RR', not even once
@@makkdiver You haven't read enough TH-cam comments yet. Trust me, there's always one guy in a comment section who makes a statement like that.
Amen! Randy was The One! He was almost too good. He played with tons of emotion and technical know how. Never be another...
How apt this is posted on Delores Rhoads' birthday today!
She would have been 100!
Blessed to have met her a few years ago.
Great work Dave, you and Randy seem to be kindred spirits!
If not for Randy I wouldn't have ever picked a guitar up 30 years ago. I saw him in 1980 play..

Ed and Al are from the Netherlands but you're right they moved to California early in childhood .
Randy and Ed were completely different types of players other than some of the rock licks the local scene guys were all playing.
Probably the most calming instructor on TH-cam. Relaxed and informative . Cant top this guy.
Dave has the equivalent of a doctor's good bedside manner. Super chill and super informative!!
I learned “Dee” in the 8th grade to play my aunt Dee. I still play it today.
Same here. Learned it at 15 and still play it when I want to impress someone. Never Works...
@@waynecanning4122 and yet play those same people a bieber or mmbop and their jaw drops... i weep for humanity
I’m 15 years old, learned it at 12 and when I hear randy play it, it still amazes me!!
I learned it when I was 14 and relearned it last spring when I was teaching online after being displaced from Ukraine on a borrower classical guitar. It nece an obsession to get it perfect.
Great lesson! I was 18 when I figured out the chord shapes for diary of a madman by ear.... Now I'm 52 I finally know what they are! Great channel
Thanks.
I was too, and did it by ear. Scary I actually figured out the intro chords correctly. Although it took me a few days. No TH-cam back then.
Randy was way ahead of his time, I love his work and if he was still alive God knows what he would have given us. Amazing guitarist.

When "Revelation Mother Earth" gets heavy, it gets REAL heavy!!!
@Vito B Or that awful "Whoah Oh Ohhhh Oh Oh Ohh Ohhhhh" Pop Music Tripe of Today!
That's what is so awesome about Randy and Ozzy's music
I was about to start searching classical lessons, but it seems they found me! Great video, as always.
Thank you! So much! Absolutely love this video/lesson!

Who else remembers Bach's Bouree being in Guitar For The Practicing Musician?
HaHa! We are definitely of a certain age whoever remembers when Bach’s Bouree came out in GFTPM! Ahhh! That’s back in the day when as soon as we got the new monthly magazine, we’d always look to find the page that would tell us which songs were going to be in the following month!

Killer of giants of jake e lee is amazing too!
That song was well written and played.
Excellent! How can a normal person dislike this?
Another box ticked. Thanks, man! 👏👏👏👏

I can’t say enough about how much I appreciate your lessons. This was probably my favorite. Awesome job!! Thank you. Keep up the good work.
I love all your Randy Rhoads videos. You’re a great teacher and your personality reminds me of Rhoads. Humble, but an outstanding player.
My guitar hero! I had the privilege to sit in the room he used to give lessons in at Musonia! Thank you David for keeping Randy's music relevant!
Very nice man..loved it..thanks..👍
Love this lesson, really inspirational to pick through chords. I could only imagine what Randy would be creating if he was still alive..Thanks for this tribute!

Randy was a real innovator. In the era that was all about EVH, he created something new and fresh. Great video!
Well done ... very nice to hear your playing .. beautiful notes
I really enjoyed this!! I really did. Thank you.
Your lessons are awesome :) keep 'em coming!
great lesson dave...Randy was a pioneer in bringing classic guitar in heavy metal/hard rock...keep shredding 🎸🤘🏻🎸🤘🏻
That was fun and educational. Loved it.
Thank you for sharing,I miss randy rhoads 👍😃🌸
Can't work out why, or how anyone could get angry at you, David. Nor hit the dislike button on your lessons. I'm addicted to your channel.
