I was just reading a piece about Randy rhoads. His tutor taught him this song. This was the inspiration of the beginning of the song diary of a madman. Randy was also an amazing classical guitarist. Every city he tore that he would always take classical lessons between concerts.

[@JT-rc7vx]

Vibin' with Lee always drops my BP

[@gohuskies583]

Just amazing all the different tonal qualities Lee can produce on the gtr. He is the master. I wish I could see him live sometime.

[@JT-rc7vx]

Test

[@davidzuniga9362]

Show him live 2 nights ago performing Etude (among others) with Dave Grusin and it was magical

[@jcoops2039]

One of many favourites of mine.I have been a fan since the 1970s. Thanks Lee. wow!

[@marbanak]

As always, the clean sound of RIT, generously sharing the stage with his associates.

[@audiesilcott6520]

I could listen to this over and over. Awesome!

[@SantanaFraticelli]

These guys are awesome!!! God bless there talent.

[@Trifecta3x3]

That drummer really knows how to dial in the cymbals.

[@janetremsing6988]

👍Gary Novak’s a BEAST!!!

[@kavemankarl2588]

I use this DVD to test high-end headphones, it is so exquisitely produced it's almost like being there all those decades ago.

[@adoniyeshua424]

Thanks Lee..

[@polkzoo]

This one of my favorite pieces Lee has composed. I think he took some of the vibe and sweetness or Earl Klugh and expanded on it. I love it and great job on this Lee,

[@squishymywthi]

I hadn't thought of it that way, but I see what you mean. Love this song soooo much as well!

[@polkzoo]

Yes it is one of his best tunes and solo guitar is a bit of an acid test. Check out Michael Hedges as he was in a class by himself and I have learned a lot from hi,. Steve

[@solomzinofemele1136]

Yeah you can really hear Earl Klugh vibes ❤️

[@squishymywthi]

love this song! so intense. OH MY GOD I'M GOING TO SEE LEE RITENOUR AND DAVE GRUSIN IN A COUPLE OF WEEKS IN ROTTERDAM!!! so excited:)

[@MinkShmink]

Happy Birthday 11 Jan, Mr Guitar! Keep your guitar singing!!

[@Apebecrzy]

[@mikewiselka4717]

This is a perfect dueling guitars song.

[@XDrummerSteve]

Magic!

[@lorenzino1]

Hi ! Simply GREAT ! Lee Ritenour is one of my top 3 of the best guitarists that I listen. It engages just myself, but I've "that I prefer", so I can choose whoever I want. ...I'm gonna learn this song, cause I got the partition, but I've been too lazy to learn it, like it is not a tab or a songbook, but a real partition. By chance, I've started music by classical piano, so I know the Solfege. It doesn't seem to be easy, so I don't know how many time it will take me to play it as it must. BYE !

[@hamiltonburger4574]

Yeah!!!!!

[@JAT1951]

Excellent!

[@adrianaberkyova3446]

I Love you Lee Ritenour

Johnson Depause 1:40

[@TheIrishlad12]

abe laboriel, bass

[@confusioncircles]

Help! Is there a studio version of this tune? Please and Thanks

[@kayodebalogun7712]

There is. Lee plays a medley of some of his hit tunes to begin with but "Etude" starts at around 1.40 and the studio version can be found on his 1989 "Color RIT" CD.

[@confusioncircles]

Thank You, Love Me Some Rit. RIP Carlos Vega, You left us way too soon.

[@kayodebalogun7712]

You're most welcome. I had no idea Carlos Vega had passed. May he rest in peace indeed.

[@danielhilljr6050]

[@dirtyclassicrock]

Who Is the bass player??

[@bluevalentine5456]

Abraham laboriel, abraham labroriel, i think it's either these two

[@booboohanachan]

@ritascarpinato Io sono d'accordo

[@tonymarqu3z]

What guitar is this?

[@Risandi_Pradipto]

Sadowsky Nylon Guitar.

[@Risandi_Pradipto]

Roger Sadowsky's Nylon Acoustic Electric Guitar.

[@sebastianperez1364]

@0:34 - @1:00 Cómo se llama ese tema? (What's the name of this song?)

[@santehhh]

It's just an impro

[@Risandi_Pradipto]

It is an excerpt from the song called "Bali Run" of Fourplay's Album during which era Ritenour was the guitarist of the band.

[@weipulee]

who knows what guitar he use.

[@ophelie.gabriella]

Sadowsky bro.. wow its 7 years comment

[@AliothSenator]

@ZeBoce Dat ass :)

[@petripietila9361]

Great song, great players but the way Lee make a face while he's playing is really annoying and stupid looking. And how he dances.... oh, my dear lord, wipe that sight out of my eyes.

[@eatyourspinachtomperez8700]

Borrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrring. OMG!
