Student asks me to play my #1 favorite Randy Rhoads solo!!!  

Ha!! Thanks for the kind words🙏

Thanks so much🙏🙏

Thanks, man!! Yeah, that tribute album is freaking magic! His sound and everyone improvises away from the studio version, it’s even better than what I thought couldn’t be more perfect:) Can you imagine what he would of accomplished if his life wasn’t cut so short!

@philsargent1 I can't begin to imagine the levels Randy would have taken the instrument to! He was inspiration in starting to play at 14, I'm now 45...and that solo is still my favorite to this day!

Thanks so much, Man🙏 thanks for subscribing:)

Thanks so much!!

Oh man! Thats really nice of you to say. Thank you so much🙏

Much appreciated🙏

Thanks!! Ha…”all of me” with some harmonic reductions and distortion😂!

👊👊👊👊 Thanks TRILL!

Thanks! Not gonna lie, it’s a blast going back to the roots:)

Thanks man!! Much appreciated🙏

Too kind, sir!!

Wow, thanks for that! I just listened to it for the first time in a VERY long time and loved it!! What a great album!

@@philsargent1 might be the one where the bass guitar steals the show the most? So insane...

Awesome, thanks🙏

Thanks so much!!

Thanks for checking it out🙏

Thanks so much🙏

Ha! Yeah, I think most students think I'm kidding:) His whole vibe shaped me. Introverted, practicing and studying all the time, always searching. His interest in classical music then straight to jazz...and it's all history🤣

@@philsargent1 Way cool.

It’s a Gibson 336:)

😂…along with the tip of my ring finger being cut off, I imagine my hand looks all sorts of mangled:)

@@philsargent1 you and Tony iommi are soul brothers !

Randy died awfully young and accomplished for you to remark so arrogantly.

Maybe he feels stronger doing trills like that? Or he might be a jazz player and is more used to using pinkie in complex situations.

Ha, I had to rewatch to see. If you’re referring to the minor 3rds like between the D and F natural in the 10th position..It depends on the situation but if there isn’t a reach involved beyond a minor or major 3rd I’m definitely more comfortable using position based fingerings. Probably because of my classical and Jazz studies. Although, studying Allan Holdsworth certainly broke me out of that habit thanks to his insane 4 note per string moments😂
