Chordplay - 'The Chords of Randy Rhoads'

Here's the next episode of Chordplay focusing on a handful of chords from the legendary Randy Rhoads. Randy was a unique guitarist in many ways and aside from his rock and metal influences, he studied classical guitar and applied those studies to the music he created with Quiet Riot and Ozzy during his brief career.
This approach obviously gave Randy a unique sound, style, and musical thumbprint, and this lesson is an attempt of shedding some light on some lesser-known/discussed Rhoads-influenced chords and musical moments.

@crimsonskies1445 4 года назад

From what his Mom said was that Randy had called her while on tour saying he wanted to study classical music theory and guitar in England. I spent a lot of time about a year ago researching Randy and his Mom Dolores Rhoads owned the Musonia Music School of music which he also taught at daily. Allegedly Randy was teaching students up to the day before the Blizzard tour started. He never purchased a house or car and in between tours and recording, would stay with his Mom at the school. You're probably correct about his future. He was not really into the lifestyle of rock n roll and he ultimately would have been a teacher/composer, etc.

@diogogomes3238 4 года назад

@@LateNightLessons i share your thoughts about : Where would he be if he was alive? Which direction would he take? Classical for sure! Ozzy build his solo carreer thanks to Randy and the whole band.

@LateNightLessons 4 года назад

Totally! Ozzy owes a lot to Randy and I think he knows it. His guitar playing really caught a lot of people's attention and Ozzy was the dude singing between those solos, so if it wasn't for Randy and they way Blizzard of Ozz developed, Ozzy's solo career could've been a flop and he might have just faded away post-Black Sabbath. He had to come out strong and Randy was the best possible choice. He was so lucky to find him. : )

@nodaysback8390 2 года назад

@@diogogomes3238 @Late Night Lessons Randy definitely had intentions of continuing to study classical guitar. Ozzy and Sarzo have both said that in past interviews. It's even fairly common knowledge that he would seek out good music teachers while on the road as they toured form city to city. He was both a Master and a Student. I think he would have continued to be life-long student. But, I also think that Randy was a natural Rock Star! He didn't become that overnight after meeting Ozzy. He was Larger-Than-Life when he took the stage and he wasn't going to lose that when he left Ozzy... which would have been after at least one more record, according to Daisley. He would have studie d Classical and presumably would have done something professionally with it. But, he would've come back to Metal.. probably a lot sooner than later. I think it may have been the rock and Roll lifestyle while on the road With Ozzy that he needed a break from. Not every Rock band is completely out of control as he is. Oh... and Shhhhh... S.A.T.O. stands for Sharon.Adrian.Thelma.Ozzy. ... Adrian was Sharon's boyfriend who worked at Jet Records and Thelma was Ozzy's wife at the time ;)

@Sarahbuildsstepsequencers 3 года назад

Trivia: S.A.T.O. = Sailing Across The Ocean For myself, the song, “Diary Of A Madman” has it all as far as Randy’s finest work. And his solo in it is so incredibly haunting and melodic in unexpected ways. From the Blizzard album to “Diary,” he made incredible progress in his playing - its astonishing. I think I read he was going to record one more album with Ozzy before departing. I have wondered what he would’ve done next for the fact of his incredibly fast progress between albums - just a thoroughly exciting musician and composer! Seeing him in Alpine Valley was like watching a magician who happened to do all his wizardry with a guitar. He just left you stunned! It seems either you love Randy Rhoads or you just haven’t discovered him yet. Once he arrived on the scene, I barely paid attention to Van Halen. Randy’s loss for many left us with an open wound that never heals.

I recently visited Baron Estates in Leesburg Fl where Randy died. I sat at the gate and listened to Revelation Mother Earth and Diary of a Madman while looking at the rebuilt Manson across the airstrip where the crash happened.. I cried and cried. Just as I did at 15 years old when I heard the news. Randy and Bob Daisley’s work changed my life forever. Influence is too small a word for his impact on me and my dedication to the guitar. Baron Estates is a very beautiful and peaceful place. However I almost wish I hadn’t seen it. Looks exactly as all the pictures we’ve all seen, but very surreal in person.

@AndrewJones-cx6kl Год назад

What I have read and studied over the many years, He would have continued and finished the DOM tour, then start his studies at UCLA, his mother did here study’s there. I think he would have recorded speak of the devil, then finished out his dealings with Ozzy and record Bark at the moon, but never tour again with Ozzy (at that time). Bark at the moon was thought of when Randy was still alive, and it would have been Bob Daisley again working with Randy. At that point I see him going 100% into his studies, all the while doing session work. Rudy Sarzo said Randy would most likely be doing sessions. Randy was home sick and didn’t want to tour. I could see a reunion with Ozzy years down the road maybe at some point. I think he would have settled into recording classical albums, sessions, and doing some heavy metal too at some point. It’s amazing to think about how talented he would have become and what our ears would be hearing! How would bark at the moon sounded. It’s all speculation, but it’s what I can come up with.

@Dave_Wight_The_Rock_Oracle 11 месяцев назад

he did agree to do the live album that was going to be half Sabbath covers, it was supposed to be called History of Ozz. I agree with the reunion, but I think he would have written the third album with Bob and I believe he would have played the U.S. Festival to show up Ed van Halen.

@deeno1114 5 лет назад

Great video man. Randy was so incredible. It really is hard to believe somebody like him passed in such a horrific way. He was the reason I picked up the guitar and was the only player I ever looked up too. He really would have been the greatest if he had lived.

Thank you and I totally agree! There's a very good reason why Randy is still respected and talked about all of these years later - he was truly exceptional. : )

@JoeR203 4 года назад

I think that he was still alive, he defenitely would have done a G3 tour with Satch and Vai. When he was in Quiet Riot, they played a venue with Van Halen. Too bad Eddie's attitude and ego ruined the chance for him and Randy to jam, and possibly record together. That would have been priceless.

@crimsonskies1445 4 года назад

I watched an interview last night of Randy's brother saying that there was talk about Randy leaving Ozzy to study classical music and he says that was not true. I found this interesting because his Mom said Randy had told her that and if you think about it, Randy was the type person who didn't like conflict and probably didn't want to make waves. He told Ozzy his plans for the future and Randy was done with the rock scene and Ozzys drinking and doing drugs, etc. Randy was educated and driven to learn classical guitar. Randy would have become a great classical guitar player. He was good but if you've ever heard an actual classical guitar player play, you could tell that Randy was unpolished and raw but the perfect amount of talent and drive to become great.

@jeffhodge2276 4 года назад

Crimson.......Randy's brother (Kelle) is full of shit, and always has been. He had a lot of jealousy and envied his younger brother. I have an interview with Delores stating she helped Randy apply to UCLA weeks before his death to enroll and work for his degree in music......UCLA was her Alma-matter back in the 40's. I really wish Kelle would leave all interviews and subject material regarding Randy to his sister Kathy. She exudes classiness and clarity unlike her buffoon brother Kelle.

My first arena concert experience was Ozzy's Blizzard of Ozz tour with Def Leppard and The Rods in Glens Falls NY. Melted my brain. My ears rang for a couple days. Randy ripped it up. I had started to play guitar because of Ritchie Blackmore, but Randy threw me off the cliff; I've been playing since about 1979 and I'm still playing catch up with those two. Anyone into doom metal or gothic 80s rock check my page. My lead guitarist and I wore black arm bands to school for a week after Randy died. RIP Randy Rhoads. Peace.

I really appreciate your in-depth video of *RR* as a drummer, I remember in the 80's my friend's mentioning Randy Rhoads, but I was focused on my drumming at the time so it kind of went over my head. but now that I've picked up guitar 🎸 I totally know what my friends were talking about when mentioning Randy. Your tutorial was absolutely fantastic 💯 Randy would be proud of how you represented his memory. Diary of a Madman is the epitome of Randy Rhoads style and classical approach, and yes his technique on that particular *sONg* is eerie, and haunting, and spooky, and creepy, masterpiece, the lead guitar solo Randy does is really creepy, *chilling* genius I never heard anything like it before at the time and even now he definitely set a standard and raise the bar. Very rare and unique style of playing and that's not even mentioning his ability to play rhythm as well, Randy was exalt at it his tone and thickness top notch. 👍🏼 Thank you very much for sharing I could go on and on about Randy Rhoads, but I will rapit up.

Not a Musician or Rock / Guitar Historian, but listening to Blizzard of Oz and Diary of a Madman with my big ass 80's headphones back when they were released I had an emotional reaction to what I called the voice of Randy's Guitar. The imagery and topics were not something that resonated with the females of my Highschool, but I told them If we hook up, they would learn to love the music. They all have Ozzy concert shirts to remember me by. EVH is mostly the chosen one for modern Rock Guitar hero. I love Eddie on VH 1, I still rock to Unchained, The Cradle will Rock, and 1984 might stand the test of time?

@woodchuk1 4 года назад

That Dmin6/A chord in the Diary intro is just perfect in how it bridges the gap between the unstable Adim7 before it and the sweet Aadd9 after it. The whole song is probably my favorite Randy composition, and the solo in particular is a perfect depiction of a terrifying descent into madness. But I’ve had a particular fondness for that intro ever since I first heard it. It’s undoubtedly influenced at least in part by Etude No. 6 by Leó Brouwer, but Randy made it his own, and it’s about as perfect a musical description of Jekyll and Hyde-type schizophrenia as you’ll find. Diary, Revelation, and the outro work on Tonight should get at least as much attention as Crazy Train and Mr. Crowley. For an artist whose main body of work only contains 17 tracks and not even 2 hours of recorded material, Randy was a legend...that’s why we still talk about him almost 40 years after he left us. Keep up the great work!

@Michael-bl4no 5 лет назад

Randy’s career was so short, its tragic. But Im glad we have the Ozzy records. Diary of a Madman was the song that I used to select my guitar teacher as a kid. I walked into a music store and this dude was playing it verbatim. I asked him if he taught before and he said “no.” I said, “You do now!” Guy became the best guitar teacher I ever had. I dedicated a solo on one of my albums to Randy - and its probably one of the best things Ive done😎. Nice work on the lessons here, well taught and explained. 👍🏻

Late Night Lessons - Jake’s solo on “Rumbling Train” is my all time favorite lead. Feel, style, technique...he is amazing. If you like that Badlands style, this was my band’s tip of the hat to that: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-kcrc0Di4aBE.html Looking forward to the Jake lesson.

Fully agree with your prediction of Randy’s future trajectory. He may even have become an accomplished Classical guitarist - and made his living from that. There are many such guitarists who travel and do just that. Although he didn’t much like being far from home, so it’s difficult to say. Perhaps a job at the university of Berkeley as a teacher; he loved sharing and teaching.

Thank you and I agree - those two albums with Randy (along with Tribute) are as solid and awesome as you can get. : )

Randy was already out the door , for the most part when he died. He wanted to do his own thing (I don`t know just what it was gonna be) but he was really loving more and more of the classical works of Segovia, etc. He was also a weak man as far as getting sick very often. Either way , we love the man!!

Thank you for sharing this. Double R was fantastic.

Randy was under contract w/ Ozzy for 3 albums....not sure if it was for 3 tours also. Randy wanted to go to UCLA, & get his degree in classical guitar,& combine rock, classical, & melodic pop. Can only imagine how that would have sounded.

Excellent choice of licks. For me, some (lots) of his techniques were a mystery wrapped in a riddle. No bone movies tonight, I need to practice. Much thanks.

Great sound and playing. Thanks for the video

According to Delores, he would’ve studied at her Alma Mater UCLA. She already had the enrollment paperwork filled out for him.

Lovely my friend. So enjoyed your breakdown.

No bone movies for me was the 'what the heck?' music progression, very different sounding and very layered. Great video! Subbed.

I love Randy's classical influences with metal guitar. He is one of my favorites. That last example from Diary of a madman was great. I'm going to fiddle around with those chords on guitar now. Thank you.
