Started ib11th grade for one year. Started seriously in 76, played accross the country for a year with a guy who had no legs, no left arm, and no baby finger on his right hand. He put the head of the guitar to his right and with his pointing finger he plucked the strings and with his middle finger and his ring finger he played notes. I played with an agent for a .

Any time you get tired of playing, just learn a new song. Have you learned the circle of fifths yet? I wish I new that when I first started wrighting my own songs. How many songs do you know all the way through? How long have you been playing?
Never learnt the circle of fifths. Definitely something I need to do. I know a lot of songs all the way through. Wouldn’t be able to count haha I’ve been playing since 2008! How about you?
I love this story! What a genuine person. I have borrowed other's BlueChip picks and just got my own. Engraved with my name on the back. It sounds gorgeous!
@@Alex.Pickhard I got the CT 55. I'm used to the 1.4 mm Primetones, so it feels more normal in my hand. It's fantastic! Barely even have to touch the strings, and it rings with the smoothest tone.
@@Alex.Pickhard My brother liked the 60 better, I don't find much difference, but I am trying to learn to play softer and the 60 is alittle louder than the 50. just turned 78 today, and tonight and every friday and saterday night I play for two hours at the Tucson swap meet. I play cover tunes so I can play original songs of which I have been blessed to rite 20.
@@larryweathermon2906 that makes lots of sense the 60 would be quite a bit louder. Very cool that you are still playing! When I get to that age, I hope I am still playing :) I found it took me a little bit of time, but I have been able to get the TP48 to sound quite soft when strumming!
Great interview. I've been playing my Blue Chip for eight years now and I love it. You asked about how to get started and I was talking to a guy about what he did for a living. Thats always a great start. He was a window washer of peoples homes. I found out all I could and started the next day. When my agent sent me out of town for a week, I could rescedual and not have to find a new job. I did that for 36 years.
Oh wow! That’s really cool you got a great out of just chatting with someone and it set yourself up a while. Cool story’ thanks for sharing! Have you been using the same Bluechip pick for 8 years and it’s still as good as new?
As an artist myself, I can see Randy is putting his entire heart and soul into this guitar. He might have trained as a classical player but he rocketed to outer space as a lead rock guitarist. No one else matches or outshines Randy Rhoads. Miss you.
I live in Sydney Australia and have owned a Blue Chip 55 for about 2 years and wouldn't use another pick when playing acoustic. Now I can explain to disbelievers why these picks are so expensive compared to all the rest but more importantly why the sound is so good.
I know exactly what you mean! There is just something about the sound. And I’m glad you got some useful information from the interview :) thanks for watching🎸
As fresh as the day it was conceived.. And the day I first heard it many years ago as teenager. Timeless... Way ahead of his time.... One can only imagine what he would have produced, had he lived longer....
I don't understand how anyone could hate on that dude unless they're just jealous immature asshats. I've played in punk and metal bands most of my life but any guitarist who knows anything, knows the first time they see Strings play, they're watching the Jimi Hendrix of Flat Picking/Bluegrass/Americana and watching history in the making. End of discussion.
She was always billed as the second. I always thought she should have had top billing! She's obviously way more musical talented than her untalented sister! Not to mention way better looking!
