Randy Rhoads was one guitarist who took my playing to another level. When trying to properly play his songs I really had to adjust my technique to get it done and he made me a better player for it. What's scary is what he could have been because he was only getting better. Ozzy's set list after so many years still being 80 percent Rhoads era material is a testament to the man's genius.
Randy Rhoads made me want to pick up the guitar and LEARN about what I was doing on the fretboard,and the fact that after I read a few of his interviews and realized he was such a humble guy I became a much bigger fan than ever.
I remember the day Randy died. I was a huge huge fan. My bestfriend at the time called me up and filled me in. The floor just fell out from under me that day. That same friend called me and told me about Eddie too all these years later.
"CAN'T WE ALL JUST GET ALONG"!. Randy n Eddie feud? Please ! They where both great guitar virtuoso's . They both had there own style and sound. Unfortunately Randy wasn't around long enough to share his talent with the world. He was a phenomenal guitarist. As Dave stated Eddie inspired him to pick up the guitar as I was also inspired by Eddie as well. In heaven there are no grudges I'm sure that heaven is electric as could be. Just imagine them tearing up the heavens with there exploding riffs n licks. My 2 favorite guitar players of all time. Great lesson Dave as always ROCK ON.🎸
Idk if there’s a single Rhoads solo that’s not great? IMO Diary of a Madman the whole album is just perfection. Spent many teenage nights learning those great licks off my Fisher turntable. Rhoads personified a dedicated musician always striving for more knowledge & technique. Still the greatest too me! Thanks as always 🍺’ski!🤘
I’d like to see music lovers celebrate how uniquely both guitar players interpreted music and shared their love of the guitar, rather than who was better. To me both are perfect. Another incredible lesson. Props.
When it comes to the Randy vs Eddie debate, it should be noted that Randy only recorded 2 albums versus 12 from Eddie. Then again, debating who’s better is pointless. There is no “better.” They’re completely different players with totally different approaches. What a blessing that we had them both!
The debate on who was better is completely subjective especially at that level. Eddie was definitely more influential. It's really only him and Jimi when it comes to revolutionizing the electric guitar on that kind of creative level. I personally prefer Randy's phrasing and style. That's just what my ear is slightly more attracted to. I've always preferred my music a bit darker sounding which is the reason I spun those first two Ozzy records a lot more than any Van Halen. The Quiet Riot stuff would've been a closer comparison and in that case I would've been on the VH side back then if I was forced to choose. I don't know who pissed in Randy's cheerios (maybe Ozzy?) but he definitely started to find his sound and his playing was accelerating at an astonishing rate. Even his sister has commented how in those few years after joining Ozzy his skills were vastly improving.
Right! Randy to ME, is more inspiring and the reason I play Guitar, but that's not the same as saying "Randy is better". ( Like I used to in High School lol ) Their approaches and styles are so different, we can draw inspiration and passion from BOTH Players :)
That last 'rolling' run is a thing of beauty. There was no competition for me. I loved both Randy and Eddie. Randy just had this magical beauty and melody to his playing.
Thankyou for more Randy content. He is why I picked up a old crappy acoustic as a kid, and stuck with it without lessons. His riffs were magical to me, still are. Nicely done once again.
You are just spoiling us with more Randy Rhoads.I know you’re a Dio fan so hopefully last in line and holy diver era lessons are in the pipeline.Much appreciated
Randy was born in Santa Monica but grew up in Burbank and his mom had a school he taught in that was located in North Hollywood. I live in LA and it's hard to get your head around the area but it's vast. Thanks for another amazing lesson! The more on Randy the better!
I was in SoCal and a "trying" guitarist back in the 70's & 80's. I was in highschool from '76 to '80 and I'll tell ya, RR and EVH were hot tickets to see and try to emulate... The Southbay scene was on fire back then too, ans well as the San Fernando Valley. Metallica, Megadeth, Ratt, Dokken, LA Guns, Hanoi Rocks & others. Magic time to be in SoCal... Today I'm glad I left there though...
It's David's demeanor more than anything. Sure, he is a great guitarist, but you can tell he is sweet, chill, relax, and would be cool to hang with. That is what makes me all about his channel. That... and he is right up the highway from me. VINCENNES IN THE HOUSE!
Randy was the one who made me play guitar. I heard Over the Mountain. Then I had to get a guitar. I had the Randy Rhoads Star Licks cassette and booklet. That's how I started playing. I love his style. I wish I understood what he did a little better. There were some pretty heavy mode things that he would use in his leads. Just like there would be one or two notes that jumped out in a lead against the chord. Anyway thank you! That was a great lesson! I love all the stuff you talked about.
When I was in Jr High and part of High School, the Eddie and Randy argument came up almost daily. I was firmly in the EVH camp but always loved both players.
Thank you for recognizing how different Randy and Eddie's styles were. Eddie claimed he stole his moves from him and Randy even said he copied him. I love both as you say. I am partial to Randy. He inspired me to get classical training as well.
Great lesson just a couple days ahead of what would have been Randy's 64th birthday, Dec.6th. Did you know that George Lynch took over for Randy at Musonia as a guitar teacher when he lost the gig and Randy went on tour with Ozzy ? Poor George got snubbed by Jake E. Lee too !
I love them both too but I love how fluent randy was. Both of them were down to earth dudes and 2 of my favorites.I wish you and youtube were around in the 80s when i started to play
I've learned so much from your channel. Randy is my favorite player. I just got a jackson pro concord guitar and it's great. You're the man ! Keep up the great work !
I grew up during that battle! I was a Randy fan and stuck to my guns, but once I grew up and paid attenetion I realized they both had something to bring to the table.
Like many of us, I picked up the guitar much differently after hearing Randy for the first time way back in the day, amazing how much his riffs still rip 40 years later...! Thank you for all you do btw! Best channel for Guitarist is HERE.( Love your black Les Paul)
Wonderfull videos. Randy even before joining ozzy was already a top tier guitar player , he just exponentially improved his guitar playing/knowledge with ozzy by taking lessons from where ever he could while on tour . Randy Rhoads the best of all time !!
You gotta remember, Eddie was sounding like Eddie all the way back in 1973. If you listen to those early bootleg VH recordings, you can really tell HE was the next up-and-coming guitarist. I don’t know if I can say the same about Randy. He said himself he was heavily influenced by Eddie. I mean, George Lynch said everyone was trying to sound like Eddie when he came around. It’s really remarkable stuff.
Both Eddie and Randy blew me away first time I heard them..I saw Van Halen January 1980, it was my first concert without adult supervision, I was 12 , it was 1980..times were different. Randy was killed 3 months before I could see him, I had tickets to the show...I was devastated. Even in the 80s, there was an EVH vs. Randy with the fans..like you, I liked them both, but Randy will always be my biggest influence.
David, I know others have likely told you this before. But your personality seems so calmly enthusiastic while also showing your knowledge and cerebral side. You are the kind of guy I'd think 99.9 out of 100 people would meet you and say, " I could really see having Dave as one of my best friends" kind of people. Thanks for your exceptional demo's of these techniques and lessons from our treasures such as Randy and Eddie that we were blessed to be exposed to their talents, as well as their persons.
Great information 👍 great teaching and explanation of tricks most guitarists won't share 😀 👍 bravo 👏 many thanks 👍 enjoying your excellent guitar knowledge 😀
RR was an exceptional talent who some say was "BORED" with the whole rock star thing ... IDK ... his legacy will live on forever due to his incredible playing on the two OZZY studio recordings and the one live recording released posthumously ... I never met him but I did see him play in Norman Oklahoma on Feb 25th 1982 with UFO opening up ... still have the ticket stub ... thanks for the deep dive back in time and exciting some special memories ... love the content !!!
I saw the same show with Ozzy and UFO in Dallas,Texas on February 20,1982. It's still unbelievable that the world would lose Randy only a few weeks later.
@@lanceross3633 Man, you guys are so lucky to have seen him, I have my ticket for March 20th show in Orlando with Foreigner, and Randy was killed on March 19th. They replaced Ozzy with Pat Travers. Sad day for music!
I love Randy and EVH and often go back-and-forth as to which one I prefer. Music scholars will (if not already) analyze their styles _and_ philosophies, which are so different. To me, Randy painted creative masterpieces within boundaries/constraints (like Mozart), whereas Eddie (like Beethoven, or Debussy) gleefully abandoned all boundaries. Neither is "right" nor "better": it just _is_, and we are all better for it.
Personally I would have to include George Lynch in this conversation even tho his rythm playing was elementary on the early Dokken albums. Leadwise, he's definitely in the room!
I love them both too❤️it's a classic high school rivalry like a football rivals just with guitar. So awesome takes me back to my growing up. And your really awesome too old school as hell and I love it ❤️
Extremely well done David!! RR has been my main mentor since '81. Even his solo in "Tonight" gives me chills.....almost like the solo Gilmore does in "Comfortably Numb". So beautiful and emotional, yet Randy changes things up in the outro solo, when he starts playing in a dark minor mood.....it actually sounds twisted and bizarre. Pure genius that Randy was!! Cheers Dave :)
Just like you, Randy influenced me to learn classical guitar back when I was in Jr High. It’s funny because at 12 I went to get lessons and I told the teacher I wanted to learn how to play classical guitar. He looked at me like I had bugs coming out my nose.
David, great lesson...any chance you could do a lesson discussing you right hand technique? Looks very efficient. Mostly thumb movement and very little wrist or arm... movement...
Yeah, I've noticed the same. I was told for many years that wrist movement was key but to me there seems to be an equal combination of both. I remember reading an interview with Kerry King where he said Mustaine taught him to use his thumb. When I was practicing growing up I would often catch myself moving the thumb because to me it was just naturally more efficient in some areas yet I had all these instructional books emphasizing wrist movement. Maybe they were targeting the wrist a lot more because beginners tend to use their arm? I don't know but when I play a lot of lead licks that cross strings I naturally incorporate thumb movement like I see Dave doing. I too would like to hear his thoughts on this because he's not only a great player but also a great teacher.
Look up Sarod picking it is well established. Pebber Brown has taught alot of speed pickers this style like Buckethead and others. ruclips.net/video/v8kBtEhM4eU/видео.html
Great lesson as always. Also throw George Lynch and Rusty Anderson (Paul McCartney’s guitarist) into the mix of guitarists of bands competing with Van Halen and Quiet Riot at that time and it kind of blows the mind.
That stuff you were doing before the bonus lick, I remembering seeing and learning from Guitar Player mag had in it, Lessons from Randy..I believe it was. Great player, always one of my faves. Thanks for the vid🎶✌
Very nice lesson, The Last Lick is the Scalar Sequence is what I have been talking about this is what Randy Rhoads is all about is creating those scalar sequences and the SHIFTS which he does 3 different shifts. If you look at the "Shifting points" they are starting at different points of the scale degrees either a major 2nd back or minor 3rd back FROM the last ending note of the lick run. You will shift back a major 2nd or minor 3rd back from the last ending note and start the scalar sequence again. This Shifting points are a major part of Randy Rhoads way of playing scalar sequencing because without the Shifting points you would just move the scalar sequence down consecutively compared to how he will shift and start the whole scalar sequence on another scale degree. You can use the guitar pick as a finger to fret the harmonic and use your middle finger to pluck the string BEHIND the guitar pick using the guitar pick as the finger. The way you're going it might make it sound like pinch harmonics when using the thumb BEFORE the guitar pick. If you can find more Randy Rhoads scalar sequencing patterns would be nice to learn from. Keep pressuring Dave Brewster to make more lessons like this and maybe he can teach more about the shifting points and scalar sequencing
Is there any doubt that this is one of the best guitar "channels" on RUclips? The content is so good, ALL the time!
There is no doubt.
None whatsoever...
No doubt!!
One of my favorites!! This guy is so humble- very pleasant and a great teacher.
There is no doubt

70% Randy, 15% Jake E Lee and 15% for the rest is a typical Ozzy set list :)
Randy Rhoads made me want to pick up the guitar and LEARN about what I was doing on the fretboard,and the fact that after I read a few of his interviews and realized he was such a humble guy I became a much bigger fan than ever.
You can't have too much Randy Rhoads
I remember the day Randy died. I was a huge huge fan. My bestfriend at the time called me up and filled me in. The floor just fell out from under me that day. That same friend called me and told me about Eddie too all these years later.
The second lick is why Randy is my favorite 😫, we all miss him.

I’d like to see music lovers celebrate how uniquely both guitar players interpreted music and shared their love of the guitar, rather than who was better. To me both are perfect.
Another incredible lesson. Props.
Man....This lesson is a real ear tickler. Awesome 👍

Just keep posting greatness again and again

Randy is one I have gone on a mission to learn, but the like was for mentioning Roy. What a player he was.
Awesome dude!! Crazy to think that they were 30min away from each other. Two different styles, two of the greatest that changed the game forever 🤘🤘
Amazing touch, really

Eddie was the Motzart of Rock...!
Love him till the very end of time!
Incredibly tasteful licks played by Randy. Thanks for the video David.
Who in the freaking world would give this a thumbs down?? Awesome lesson!!! Thanks Dave

love your lessons, been playing for years but I always learn something new from you...keep it Sir...your awesome...
6:57-7:02 ....’whoa, that’s cool’
Why I subscribe. This guy is genuine.
that last lick is awesome! what a finger twister!
My favourite content on the entire internet. Thank you so much for showing us all this stuff it's so cool.
Cool stuff. That was what both were so good at. Cool stuff!

Those rolling arpeggios are "Lolly, Lolly, Lolly, Get Your Adverbs Here" by Schoolhouse Rocks. It even resolves on the same B major chord.

Thank you so much for the dose of RR! 🤘😁🤘🎸
Nice to hear the respect of both guitarists! That’s how I think. Music is an art not a hokey game. Appreciate whatever art you enjoy!
Fantastic lesson, Dave, was always more firmly in the EVH camp but there is no denying RR's absolute greatness.
😱 RR and EVH so close! That's a miracle to have such freaks of nature so close at the same time!
I loved your lesson,Randy made such beautiful sounds on the guitar thank you for this 🙌🏼🎸
Respect to both but my personal fav is Randy
Diggin the channel
Happy Birthday Randy Rhoads!
I love Randy and EVH and often go back-and-forth as to which one I prefer. Music scholars will (if not already) analyze their styles _and_ philosophies, which are so different.

Agree they are totally different. But I see it differently, Randy thinking outside the box while EVH playing inside the box.
@@inspectorbudget Don played rhythm on those albums actually
@@thegame3417 I knew he did on the first album. So he actually plays on more? When did he stop because I know that's not him on Back For The Attack.
@@inspectorbudget I just looked it up, you're right he doesn't have any credits after the first one.
I love them both too❤️it's a classic high school rivalry like a football rivals just with guitar. So awesome takes me back to my growing up. And your really awesome too old school as hell and I love it ❤️
Awesome lesson! These remind me of the Laughing Gas solo.
you've got the best licks my man
Hey Dave love your Show!!!
Your presentation is so friendly yet so indepth
With Love from India
Awesome lesson! I can't believe I'm just finding this channel now. So much amazing content. Thank you!
I wonder sometimes, if RR would've lived longer, how much more these two would've pushed each other's unique brilliance. Phenoms...BOTH
Yes! The game changed with EVH and RR!!
I can't call a preference, both are awesome!
I choose BOTH!!
Extremely well done David!! RR has been my main mentor since '81. Even his solo in "Tonight" gives me chills.....almost like the solo Gilmore does in "Comfortably Numb". So beautiful and emotional, yet Randy changes things up in the outro solo, when he starts playing in a dark minor mood.....it actually sounds twisted and bizarre. Pure genius that Randy was!!

Holy shit! Is your name really Jeff Hodge?
We demand more Randy Roads
As Danny Gatton once said - the mistakes are free :) 🤟❤ love this channel

Another fantastic lesson!! Thanks so much for sharing your insight and talents! Love the channel!
More!!!! lol so cool thanks brotherrrr. I agree on the fued part I love both parties and find myself playing both styles when I'm jamming out
Really love your videos! Both history and music. Please never stop. ))
So Dave, if you can just move to the East coast of Scotland and become my guitar teacher, ...that would be great.
Cool framed 'Jeff Beck's Guitar Shop' on the wall in the background !
Great lesson as always. Also throw George Lynch and Rusty Anderson (Paul McCartney’s guitarist) into the mix of guitarists of bands competing with Van Halen and Quiet Riot at that time and it kind of blows the mind.

once i heard Randy's Playing I was inspired to play more like he did. still am. recently bought a flying v like his. white pin stiped

I am back working on Randy and this is just what I was looking for- Randy’s pull off licks from that video footage
Still working on this in 2023
98.9k users. Almost there. This is a great channel.
Excellent as always Dave!
Another great lesson. This is my favorite guitar channel. Keep up the great work.
Yup, I am also a fan of both genius talents.
I was taught by my guitar teacher to use the thumb and the pointer finger for the harmonics. Give it a try Dave👍
Randy's the GOAT
Rock on David !!!!🤘🤘
