    This first trick was used a lot by Randy Rhoads and made all the songs sound awesome

  • @periachi4961
    @periachi4961 ปีที่แล้ว +334

    So that's what Randy was doing in the Crazy Train solo! I just used a whammy dive for that part

    • @turntogod4410
      @turntogod4410 ปีที่แล้ว +31

      Yeah I was gonna say it sounds like the tapping part of crazy train

    • @CNNBlackmailSupport
      @CNNBlackmailSupport ปีที่แล้ว +18

      It actually isn't what Randy does, and it isn't the whammy bar either. I just checked some live footage and his pick hand never moves past the pickups when it isnt tapping at the start. It's around 2:20 seconds into the song if you want to see for yourself. Annoyingly, the best up-close version cuts to the bass until the bending trill part is finished. I'll see if I can link the video and give timestamps.
      Randy just had some crazy strong fingers.
      th-cam.com/video/EISy_qeJ38c/w-d-xo.html. 03:26 is a few seconds before the solo.

    • @Funhouse585

    • @exr5803
      @exr5803 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Well he had a floating tremolo so he just had to bend his whammy backwards and its also what he used in the Over the Mountain solo

    • @DiogenesNephew
      @DiogenesNephew ปีที่แล้ว +4
