Thanks Tony! I forgot all about trying to find this for laughs and knowing my girlfriend would get a good laugh out of it too! I remember filming this and I was so nervous that I held back many facial expressions cause I don't like looking at myself when I smile.....so while filming this...I had that in mind knowing someday soon I'd have to see myself. Ugh! And at the same time nervous about my playing thinking that I'm not holding up to what I'm trying to show! Anyways!! What a nice surprise and a blast from the past!! Thanks Tony!
I love the part with Frankie, Jimmy and Randy!! That was fun and those guys were sooooo good and made my little contribution sound so much better!! Thanks again Tony!!
OMG! 😲🙏🙏🙏 The Master himself! This is truly an honor! Craig your playing was incredible and you inspired 1000’s of guitarists like myself! So glad that you found your video here and chimed in! It’s great to get your perspective here! Sincere thanks and gratitude for coming in here to The Headbanger’s Hideout! Please post some videos of you playing in your channel if you can! I’ll be sure to do a video on your presence here shortly so more people can chime in! 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
@@TonyFuentesTV way to go! 🙂🤘👍
Thanks for commenting Craig. I met you at NAMM years ago and you were a cool dude! Keep rocking!
@@wth522 hope you’re well! Post more videos! 🤣🤣🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
@@TonyFuentesTV Hi, Tony! I am doing well, thanks! I hope you're doing well also! I will be posting some more videos soon! Thank you!
The 80's was a Golden era !!
Yes the 80s were phenomenal but the 2 guitarists in the 80s that ruled were King Eddie Van Halen & Master Randy Rhoads .
Glad you think so! Much appreciated! Thank you! 👍😎😎👍
@@TonyFuentesTV you are welcome and thank you , there are a few others that I have not included like mr scary, Vivian Campbell, Vito bratta, warren Demartini, Jake E Lee - aka Mr kamikaze the great one , and the 2 greatest included Randy and Eddie. Thanks Tony .
@@jamesmccracken9323 and Yngwie ?
80's rule:
#1 - King Edward
#2 - Yngwie Malmsteen
#3 - George Lynch
#4 - Warren De Martini
#5 - Jake E. Lee
Craig is one of my favorite 80s players, his work with Dio was killer.
Absolutely!
His idol was Jake E Lee

@@yaderblen2890
Actually it was Ritchie Blackmore!!
@@TCraigGoldy love Richie but his attitude sucks even Deep Purple didn't want him
Apparently Craig used to spend 9 hours everyday practicing guitar, 30 minutes to eat, 30 minutes to exercise, 4 hours to sleep…..and 10 hours doing his hair!! 😂 That’s an impressive crop!
@mydayis5
Ha ha!! It was quite an endeavor!
I found if I could draw it....I could make it real. But....looking back on it now.....well.....it served its purpose I suppose! Ha ha!!
This was a lot better than I expected. I like how he stressed the importance of groove, tempo, and feeling to engage the listener. Too many shredders just fire away a lot of notes and it's technically dazzling but really boring.
Glad you think so! Much appreciated! Thank you! 👍😎😎👍
i thought the same..
Gademn .. .I wish I could see this back in a day.. I totally missed the bus 🚐 ... You see how Craig was so damn serious like a wild animal ? 😂 Back then we all are hungry like a laser beam eyed Tigers... Man , miss that Era...
Love his work with Giuffria, and the Dio Stuff too. Great player. Thanks for posting. 💚🎸
Glad you think so! Much appreciated! Thank you! 👍😎😎👍
Craig Goldy's awesome. I used to rent Dio live from the video store just to watch him and Dio. Great concert. Btw, Vivian Campbell was a beast, too .
Please check out our latest episode with special guest Craig Goldy!
Two of my top all time players for sure.
Its not HOW MANY notes, but WHAT notes to be played.
lots of great advice here for even modern guitarist. He explains it in a non-complicated way.
Rock on!
It's not just your guitar playing that counts but you are also a Sparkling human being that's so beautifully humble and caring that many would love to have you as a friend in their life. 🌟
So funny!
Craig, I had this video, and it was part of my study material! I played classical guitar since the age of 5. Up until that point I never held a pick before, and never played a rock song. My entire rock curriculum consisted of Van Halen 1 and 2, Yngwie Rising Force, Dokken Under lock and Key, a Paul Gilbert instructional, and this video!!!!!
I like how Craig's sound is more open, less compressed and not over saturated. It basically remained that way through his career, live or in the studio.
I remember watching this lesson at a friend's place when I was thirteen or fourteen. We studied the heck out of this lesson. Very, very useful. One of the best lessons in dynamic rock guitar playing.
Me, too. I commented above that I used to rent the Dio live at the spectrum video tape from our local video store. I probably wore that tape out.😮
Spectacular!!! I've be a Yngwie fan for decades, Dio fan along the way with his guitarists. Craig tapped into the grand arena of spectacular guitarists back in the day. I think he was suppressed because of how good he is. Greatly impressed.
Craig is a monster player his tapping technique is next level
The solo in "All The Fools Sailed Away" literally make me feel an energy no matter how many times I've heard it over the years.
Craig is super underrated!
This video was a game changer that had the most profound effect on my playing through a revelation that *Craig Goldy* didn't talk about, but I could see him doing it with the double picking. I'd never noticed anyone using it before, probably for lack of such great close-ups. I remember spotting it and rewinding the tape and watching it over and over, frame by frame, paying close attention to what was happening: *pick angling* and *economy picking* (some call it "directional" picking), as well as picking with only the *very tip* of the pick (like a stylus gliding over the grooves of a vinyl record).
I immediately began applying these approaches, especially the incredible economy picking (although I didn't know that name at the time) and noticed some of my most favorite guitarists using it, most notably TNT's *Ronni Le Tekrø,* my main guitar hero. Craig Goldy's close-ups here were my Rosetta Stone, the key to deciphering this ultra-important technique, which *Frank Gambale* taught extensively.
Glad you think so! Much appreciated! Thank you! 👍😎😎👍
Thank you tonemnster!
Sorry I didn't go into detail about the picking thing....mainly because prior to that filming....all of my students wanted me to show them how....and then they couldn't and I just told them to do what comes natural to them and it will fall into place....and it did for them.
And in the same way I pick just came naturally to me....this is because over years of drawing tiny circles to make the afros in my friend's favorite athlete drawings look real....so....it's kinda funny....but....I'm drawing afros when I pick!!
Most of my friends in high-school where Afro-Americans....and my favorite athletes were too....so it just occurred to me....that when I drew a large picture....the afro was also larger....and in the 70's the afros were big....so to cover that large of an area and make it look real required tiny circles.....a lot of them....and this over and over, hour after hour over the years became natural to me.
So when I picked up a guitar....and once I began to be able to play fast and go up and down the strings.....this technique if you will.....just came natural and I certainly didn't know what to call it....and none of my students could do it because it wasn't natural for them!!
Thanks for the very kind words!! It means more than you know!!
Mick Mars had a lot of double picking in his solos on the First album.
@@TCraigGoldy Thanks for the background. I also grew up during the 70s with mostly African-American friends, but on the East Coast, and I was very into drawing right up into the 90s, so I appreciate the connections. Here's to many more years of creativity.
Mr.Goldy himself chiming in about a blast from his past! That's so cool. I actually enjoyed watching this. Insightful!
Craig is AWESOME!
"Like a dragon in hibernation got woken up and he's real pissed off!!" That one belongs in the "Rock n' roll quotes" Hall of fame! 🤘😆🤘
He was just a kid then. Craig has always been one of my favorites.
Wow - great instructional video. I have the old Dio live VHS with Craig on guitar - so I knew he was a killer player - but this is really fantastic! One of the most underrated players ever...
@Stopthehate 17
Thank you my friend for your very kind words! They truly mean more than you know!!
@@TCraigGoldy thanks for your inspiration - keep rocking! ❤
At 05:34 he talks about not liking to use a lot of effects. Truth is, he really isn't using that much, especially for the 80's. Craig is clearly a smart guy...he sets up his Marshall conservatively without overly hitting the preamp gain and tames the high end so It doesn't rip everyone's faces off. His use of the delay and pitch is just him controlling when he wants it rather than relying on the sound man. And the tube driver is great for kicking on for solos. I had never thought too much of Craig until seeing this video. It definitely changed my mind. Bravo!
Glad you think so! Much appreciated! Thank you! 👍😎😎👍
Thank you Steve! Such a very cool thing to say! Your kind words mean more than you know!! It all goes back to Blackmore....he never over did it with distortion...he was so precise and you could hear every note and even the space in between notes!! Which was a difficult one to get down! I learned the hard way that having low out put pickups ( those with high distortion cannot be dialed back or have any "choice" in how much distortion is being added ) with an amp that has two preamp knobs things can get dialed in so that things come out aggressive but with precision and bite on the low end which becomes way more "percusive" than "Puffy"! Thanks Steve!!
@@TCraigGoldy Craig, thank YOU for the reply, it's really nice to talk with another player who's into dialing his tone in like you do. You're absolutely right about high gain pickups (which is why I've always liked P.A.F. output pickups). The true sound of your guitar comes out and isn't "puffy" (perfect word!). And when it comes to the two preamp knobs, you certainly knew how to dial it in the right way. I think if Jim Marshall designed those amps he knew a thing or two about getting good tone. Most of us in the 80's didn't really understand, but you clearly did. In fact I've gone back to a bunch of your live videos and was blown away not only by your tone but your playing as well. So good! Do you still have that amp?
@@SteveOuimette
Wow! Thanks Steve! No, I don't have that amp anymore....and a good friend of Ronnie's and myself who also was on his crew turned us onto ENGL Anps! And man.....those are perfect!! The JCM 2000 TSL was really close....but they stopped making them and kept the DSL. They said they were just doing what their customers wanted! Hmmmm? Anyways!! Thank you so much Steve!! And well put on the rest of your info!!
Nice one!!
@@TCraigGoldy You're welcome Craig! Ah yeah, ENGL. I had a Ritchie Blackmore head I used for a track on Guitar Hero (Hark! The Herald Angels Sing) and it was really powerful. Tight, German engineering, lol. Never have played a TSL but I have played a DSL and thought it was pretty cool. For me it's either the early 70's non-master Marshalls or JCM 800's, and lately I've been using the HotMod v2 when I need a little more boost and it works great. Too bad they weren't around back in the 80's when I needed one, lol! This is fun, glad we're getting a chance to chat. Keep it up, would love to see more vids!
I wore out the Sacred Heart Live VHS back in the 80's.
Mr. Goldy is a phenomenal player.
I would love to have this on dvd! Craig is an amazing talent!
download it and burn it
Fantastic rhythm player and writer.
18:05 The best explanation for creating 80s style metal riffs.
Glad you think so! Much appreciated! Thank you! 👍😎😎👍
Craig comes across as the perfect teacher. He seems to pull being relaxed and cool, on the one hand, whilst being ultra serious and straight forward on the other.
Some brilliant tips in here as well.
Thanks for this Tony, a true gem.
Folks, be sure to check Craig in his solo albums, specially Insufficient Therapy (1993), which is an awesome and terribly solid metal guitar album, half vocal and half instrumental.
An amazing listening, no matter how many years have passed.
I spent HOURS with this tape in the 80’s! Now I remember where I picked up the double picking technique I still use to this day! I loved this dudes style. And was mega jealous of his hair too!
Awesome!
Craig is amazing! Dream Evil is all time favourite album.
Craig is hot!
God I remember watching this years ago! What a monster guitarist Craig is! One of the very best ever!
Glad you think so! Much appreciated! Thank you! 👍😎😎👍
Wow, i always liked his playing and the Blackmore vibe on Dream Evil,
but never realized he was this good.
The fast picking from the fingers , looks so economical, yet difficult.
And i love his legato, and the aggressive bends.
I naturally think of rhythm and lead how he does. I learnt so fkn much from this video, I love Craig ill never forget when I first saw him in the red spandex with the white Warlock, one of the most tasteful guitarists of the 80s!
Great guitarist, entertaining performer, class act - one of the most relatable 80's players
A blue BC Rich Warlock! 😃Awesome! 🤘80's HM always rules!
(52 years old here, and fan of this Music since mid eighties, thanks to a brother much older than me)
Greetings from Italy!
Very articulate and concise both verbally and playing guitar!
Thank you for sharing your guitar skills and musical talent with the world!
Glad you think so! Much appreciated! Thank you! 👍😎😎👍
This vid is perfect from the actual content to the 80s drip 👌 needed this
Please check out our latest episode with special guest Craig Goldy!
Great player, Craig is an amazing musician!
Glad you think so! Much appreciated! Thank you! 👍😎😎👍
CraigGoldie was fantastic I have this on VHS too!!!
Thank you!! Your kind words mean a lot!!
I was born that year...
Also had a DVD disc on this one. Glad I found him here again...the greatest Goldy 🔥🔥🔥
Enjoy!
I don't know if anyone has noticed it, but Craig's voice and Trey Agazthoth's voice sound pretty similar. That being said I really love Dio's Dream Evil and I have Morbid Angel's Blessed Are The Sick and consider it that band's best. They are both great guitarists.
Another gem! Thanks Tony!
My pleasure! 🤘🤘🤘🤘
Craig Goldy is here! Go look and ask him questions!
Awesome, Tony! I haven’t seen this is years. Thanks for posting! 🙂🤘
Enjoy Hall! I looooove this video of his! Towards the end he shows an amazing two handed tapping technique that is awesome! I need to learn it! 🤣🤣🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
@@TonyFuentesTV awesome! 🙂🤘
Craig Goldy is here! Go look and ask him questions!
Some people couldn't get past the hair. But the era of some of the greatest metal guitar players.
Oh man….. shows and points my lack of talent in an almost painfull way….. thank God for talents like you Craig! Great sound, great feel…. You can compete with the best… but again… it is not a competition…..you are the complete package
Wow, thanks!
Thanks Tony, you.re the best. My friends and bandmates would've loved this in 86.
You're very welcome
Sweep picking technicians spot on!
Glad you think so! Much appreciated! Thank you! 👍😎😎👍
Damn! Wish I had seen this back in the day! Craig is so good with it all, even talking about amp settings and why, etc...
Glad you think so! Much appreciated! Thank you! 👍😎😎👍
I love this, because it has the rawness of the period, you cant beat that attack, the way it bites in, I preferr this to the light arpeggio, though still skillful, but I much preferr this style of attack, its exciting and its what I've been trying to learn for many years. Thank You! Subbed. Thank you Craig, this was priceless! just for the instructional on the amp settings alone, love your guitar style.
Glad you think so! Much appreciated! Thank you! 👍😎😎👍
Great video! I really enjoyed these riffs with additional chord voicings. I saw Craig in 2008/9 with Budgie in Poland. That guitar sounded HUGE.
Rock on!
Tony. Thanks for sharing this man.. This is a great video!
Love him!
Thanks brother!
From the heartland. South Central Indiana. USA
Tim
love what he does in dream evil, the sound and the style, a lot of class in the solos..., the riffs and his sound, looks to me like he study a lot of country music..., dream evil is totally amazing!
the greatest intro ever played in all of guitar history is the first 30 seconds of "overlove". anyone who says otherwise is a liar. craig goldy has more talent in his little finger than most others have in their whole body
Craig is seriously underrated and sometimes overlooked.
A true gem of knowledge. Thank you for posting this video!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Awesome ! Huge fan of Dio, loved all Craig's work with Ronnie, particularly the album Dream Evil.
What a joy it was to find this video, Craig is a monster on guitar, for me he's got all the attributes I could ever want to hear from a guitar player.
To put it simply, this man plays what I want to hear !
Love it ! Thanks for the upload.
Ricky from the UK.
Saw Guiffria. Awesome show, Killer musicians.
thank you so much!! 😘😂👍👍👍
totally forgot about this guy. what a wonderful player!
Glad you think so! Much appreciated! Thank you! 👍😎😎👍
Aren't we all striving for that sound that mimics a waking dragon from hibernation? Amen Craig.
Awesome LIVE band jams at the end with some heavyweights!
I found this video in a mall in Singapore probably 25 years ago. The shop owner told me not to buy it because it wouldn’t work on US VCRs. I’ve searched for years thinking it was a Star Licks video
Thanks for posting!
Awesome!
Uno de mis guitarristas favoritos. Me encantó escucharlo tocar con budgie..
Crazy how much gear and switching has evolved..
Craig should have been a top name guitarist in the 80's, right along with lynch, Jake E Lee, and Demartini. In todays world of social media he would have been, he just didn't get the exposure. Back then I knew he was good and loved his work in Dio but after watching this, holy shit he is better than I thought, that rhythm playing is fantastic.
@jaysonjohnson556
Wow! Thank you for your kind words! This really means more than you know!
Amazing vid !
& I love how his "pedalboard" is the actual floor 💪🏻
Thanks! 😃
Your awesome dude on the guitar. I remember this being on VHS tape back then, you could go to a local video store and rent it, I play keyboard growing up, it was good to learn. Your as good as Randy Roads. Thanks for sharing.🤘🎸
Glad you think so! Much appreciated! Thank you! 👍😎😎👍
Killer Video Tony !! I saw Craig a few years ago at a club here in VA , Super guitarist and more than easy to hang and chat with .. He blew the doors off the place !
George is my main guy like yours but this blast from the past was awesome / George / Don / Lita will be here in Richmond next month ..
HELL YA 🎸🇺🇸🎸🇺🇸🎸🇺🇸🎸
He seems nice and down to earth from the videos on youtube. 😎😎👍👍👍
Thanks James!! Very cool thing to say!
This is great!!! Thank for posting!!! Alex Masi also did one on Backstage Pass, as well as David T Chastain and Vruce Bouluet.
Craig Goldy is here! Go look and ask him questions!
Great teacher, he hits on thing most don't even cover 👍
Glad you think so! Much appreciated! Thank you! 👍😎😎👍
When I first got an electric in middle school, I found a VHS of this collecting dust on the shelf at the music store where I took lessons. I knew who Dio was but I'd never heard of Craig, but I was hooked as soon as I saw that blue warlock and heard his intro solo. I got so much inspiration from this goofball's instructional video that I can never thank him enough for making it.
Thanks!! 😎👍 Much appreciated, always! Stay tuned for lots more!
Thanks Jarrod!! Very cool thing to say!!
@@TCraigGoldy This really was a huge part of what turned me into a somewhat formidable shredder. Any relation to him??? EDIT: Wait...holy s**t is it you, man??? If it is, I will definitely ask a few questions haha
@Tony Fuentes For sure, man. I lost the tape at some point and every so often I'd do a search to see if anyone uploaded it since it seems like every other instructional video from back then was on here 10 years ago. I was so happy to finally find it.
@@SxTxD_KY
Thank you Jarrod! This is Craig
My legal 1st name is Thomas. When I first tried to create a YT profile....my name was already taken. So I used my legal 1st name....Thomas!! Thanks man!!
@@TCraigGoldy Hello, Craig! Great to see you in internet! How are you? Should we wait for the instagram or youtube videos from you? Have you an instagram? Thank you for all motivation you give me in my 14 years with your crazy tone and leads from the “Live in Philly” DVD! And thank you for your autograph on Giuffria vinyl and on the “Master of the moon” too in Omsk, Russia from the 2012-2013! God bless you!
One of the best vibratos of the 80s
There should a museum for 80s era guitar racks especially those Bob Bradshaw "refrigerators". The rack in this video is small by comparison. Back then "cartage services" were a thing because they were needed to drag setups from one place to another.
His playing on Dream Evil was stellar!!!
Thank you Ernest!! I appreciate that very much!!
@@TCraigGoldy Thank you Sensei🙏
Sickness!!! Hell yeah Tony, Thanks for sharing this!
my pleasure! More coming! 😎😎
Craig Goldy is here! Go look and ask him questions!
Holy shit, I didn’t know this existed!!!
Craig Goldy is here! Go look and ask him questions!
CRAIG, if you see this i have a couple of technique questions: 1)when you do your doublepicking/accent picking/"spider hopping", are you always hitting the next string on a down pick even when DESCENDING (going from a higher string to a lower string)? 2)are you hammering on the first string of each sequence or picking every single note?
In a different dimension Craig Goldy played with Ozzy Osbourne and Jake E Lee played with Dio.
But honestly, this is a real treasure, thank you for posting that, I truly love Craig Goldy as a player. Rock on!
He's underrated in the 80's scene of guitar players, the Dio solo
solos are real class
One of my favorite guitarist all time.....
this dude smokes, i saw him with dio at the spectrum in philly, i was in just the perfect spot an the floor to hear him very clearly over everything else, and his guitar tone has a kind of sizzle to it, a buzziness, (a good buzz, not a 60 cycle hum),that just stood out , very smooth creamy flow to it, (yes that's a lot of adjectives), it just filled the whole building, awesome
27:42 HAHAHAHA.
Great instructional!
While I worked at Guitar Center folks would all poo-poo the BC Rich but I have always loved em and continue to like them. I'll be closely studying this video - this is still how the guitar should be played and how it should sound to me. Maybe I'm old fashioned but this style still gets me going. Craig, are you available for lessons?
I just saw that B.C.Rich have released the Assassin Prophecy 2. Has a maple neck with a single Dimarzio. I'm in love, I do think I should have one. Trends can rot, what is cool is up to the individual.
His BC Rich is not the Bronze series garbage they sell at guitar center.
Awesome!
yes, I want to get another one, an unused one. I had a pawn shop one, sounded wicked but the frets were worn out so I sold it.
man i have thought you were under rated for more than thirty five years now. im not quite sure why nobody ever mentions you amongst the guitar greats. love your stuff bro.
Been searching for this forever. Thanks for posting.
Glad to help
He is phenomenal!
I learned more by watching this then ever before.
Glad you think so! Much appreciated! Thank you! 👍😎😎👍
Really cool. Maybe the only 80s instructional I haven't seen before...lol. Seen it now though :)
Glad you think so! Much appreciated! Thank you! 👍😎😎👍
Funny, I had Vivian's Starlicks or whatever it was while he was still in Dio , and he gave Ronnie credit for the term spider hopping for some things he was doing then.
Glad you think so! Much appreciated! Thank you! 👍😎😎👍
What a great guitar player! Wonderful message at 44:44
Dude I've watched this video 3 times already and it's the best instructional guitar video I've seen. So informative. Better than the Joe Satriani and Steve Vai videos. Thanks for 'Lighting The Fire' Craig! You are a Bad-Ass Guitar player! Metal Rules! 🙂🙂🙂
Wow, thanks!
This instructional video Is pure Gold..i was really searching for this!! ,Thank you Tony🙏🎸🔥😊
Glad it was helpful!
Outstanding! This is gold! Thank you for this video.😉😉😉
thanks Tony!! would be great if you upload the Vivian Campbell video also!!
In the works! 🤣🤣😉😉🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Craig Goldy is here! Go look and ask him questions!
This is so good! Thanks
So underrated as a guitarist, hard to compete in a land of genius players!
Thank you for that!! Very cool thing to say!!
@@TCraigGoldy you're awesome. Were you using an EMG in that Warlock?
@@bonnyscottland192 Because... Guitarist don't mention him when they talk about great guitarists!
Thanks for uploading this Tony. 👍
My favorite Dio guitar player.. him and Doug
Thanks Tony!
Muito obrigado por compartilhar!
Gracias Fernando! Hay mas! 😎😎😎😎

That BC Rich is rad. I learned a lot from instructional books and tapes.
i 'm doin on my own practice with these on my husbands guitar and i LOOOVE IT !!!
