That ending 8th ending riff is totally badass. Randy was so creative.

There's no other sound or song like it.

[@aaronarciniaga4274]

dude i just created a youtube channel to thank you for actually teaching me this song! i thought i could never do but you helped me, thank you so much for that

[@aaronarciniaga4274]

***** ohhh thanks man

[@mattwilson2249]

Pretty sure that bits supposed to be done on base

[@kendalljamisonmusic]

Actually the first parts playing on bass. Marty is way off you can tell if you listen to the song

[@yourlistofuniquesounds]

This was great, been searching for "songwriting guitar book" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you ever come across - Peynharlotte Acoustic Smasher - (do a search on google ) ? Ive heard some amazing things about it and my co-worker got cool results with it.

[@jsmadray]

I'm not here to bash anyone, but I have seen many songs that Marty improvises his own ideas and own interpretation. Often times, he doesn't mimic the exact thing the original composers do. This is very accurate.

[@frigglediggle2]

damn, I watched half this video last night and was playing the verse the way he first taught it all day today... now im back to continue the lesson and adding my pinky has ended my career!! Blast!!! update:: I was successfully able to add the pinky

[@jahyeet1137]

Yea man this is like my second or third song (im a beginner) and that pinky was praying on my downfall 😂

@@thedragonofthewest5789 piss off and let new guitarists learn our craft bro

[@bobbab5759]

This is so great, thank you. What I appreciate is the level of detail. I played this cover in the late 80s (pre-internet!) and I can see now that I simplified and missed bits like the open A to 12-fret A5 and the added note on the verse section. I suppose my version sounded ok, but those extra bits brings the song to a different level (as it should be).

[@hatred9427]

"You play a D power chord with A on the bass, and after that you play an E power chord with all the strings except the G string, otherwise it'll become a minor chord." Man, Randy Rhoads was a genious.

[@HaruSkage]

Helps that he was classically trained too

[@matvey28xyz41]

Dude, even cobain did that kind of chords

[@kivaari4184]

@@HaruSkage thats a myth, randy only started getting classical training shortly after blizzard of ozz came out, but he was heavily influenced by classical all his life

[@sebastianwhalin743]

​@kivaari4184 His mom was a music teacher so yes he started with classical training I believe

[@Ghost_of_Michael_Collins]

This man is the best guitar teacher on all of youtube.

[@jamiewest5357]

Good job man. Just A heads up to you all if you having a hard time hitting that 5th fret on E you can play open on the A string same thing and a little easier.

[@larsmcgee3952]

Thank you! Much easier!!

[@GaryLatendresse]

This is great. Let's hope I can pick it up in time for a friend's wedding... Just as much into Ozzy and Randy as I am!!!

[@Mobile-Journalism]

Nice job, I find it easier and more accurate to play the E Major chord coming out of the opening riff like this. E|--0 B|--5 G|--4 D|--6 A|--7 E|--0 Playing this second position E Major places your hand only one fret away from the pre-verse riff which follows fast and it also sounds great.

[@davidadamson7368]

Tnx I've been playing in my acoustic and now it sounds like a monster

[@a7x352]

I think this guy showed the tutorial way much better then marty. thank you so much for your time

[@SnareiK]

They are both good at their own rights, Marty is better at strumming songs where as this guy is better at the plucking songs, they're both good teachers.

[@calebrice76]

Marty takes too long

[@BlacklightSummerOfficial]

This guys less of a teacher and more of a demonstration which is a lot quicker

[@declangorman4290]

a7x yeah, he also did much more of the song

[@Jupiter_ZTV]

There is no need to hate on Marty! They're both giving us quality free lessons. They both rock.

[@morecoffee2463]

I never knew it was this easy! I always thought it sounded really hard

[@bradfordstadsvold946]

Yeah it's the solo that kills me

[@RicardoChapa1]

+Bradford Stadsvold the solo is very easy u csa do it very fast but the sliding in the last part is the hardest

[@josem9634]

that solo was not meant for this world lol rip randy

[@norbitcleaverhook5040]

Those Verse chords are a prick, and Randy played it stylish to give it flare

[@thatcanadianraccoon]

it's hard when u really suck at guitar like me but the intro is easy enough

[@coahpaul-jy5vw]

Dude you deserve a tons of subscribers for you effort in every videos . . keep it up :)))

[@Plowguitarist]

Excellent lesson. Absolutely dead on. I been playing since the early 80’s, I have a cover of Over the Mountain video on you tube I learned off a record player. What a pain that was. I know several Randy songs but never learned Crazy Train until now. Your explanation and attention to detail is great. Wish I had utube back in the 80’s. Would’ve been an amazing tool. Thanks

[@jsowder19]

Nice thrashing tone from a beautiful Strat. Not always easy to do. 🤘🏻

[@Williaem00]

jsowder19 have you seen Yngwie Malmsteen? If not check him out 🤙🏾

[@mowieboy]

I have the hardest time with the R hand syncopation during the main riff. But, this helped…starting with an up-pick. Very helpful

[@debreczenybalint]

Carl brown is actually earned a nobel prize. What a man. Just thanks.

[@Wargasm644]

Simple if you got ET fingers

[@ah14911]

intro is mad soft but the chords are hard

[@dougevans4782]

cool back in the 80s we had to figure it out ourselves thank you 4 modern technology

[@Florida_guy]

Carl you taught me alot of cool riffs in the past few months ,I would like to donate to your channel as a thank you but I don't have a job and I sit around playing my guitar all the time

[@tusharjamwal]

Man I'm jealous of that long pinky, mine reaches only halfway up my ring finger xD

[@Kira-kv1yb]

only massively difficult bit is around 9:30, since im learning on an acoustic guitar the neck is wider so i cant put thumb on neck at the same time as doing a D power chord. I had to do some super fast finger movement that isnt 100% correct but it sounds great still! great vid even 3 years later!

[@TheJerkHead1]

Thank you. Have to teach this tomorrow and you saved me a lot of time. Spot on

[@hazor777]

Lemme just say , if you have good ears, you'll notice in the original recording as the bass & drums count off the intro before the guitar begins , Randy flips the toggle switch on the guitar (my guess is he has the volume rolled completely off on the neck pickup - the position the toggle switch is at ) to the bridge pickups - just before the pick scrape . I guessing he is standing in front of the Marshall stack that was made for him , at a high volume - flips the toggle switch to the bridge pickup & the guitar immediately feeds back in a high pitch - THEN he does the pick scrape. Basically he's simulating a train horn . Either Randy was playing his white Gibson Les Paul custom or the polka dot Flying V - both guitars he brought with him to England from when he was in Quiet Riot .

[@slavengineering8344]

I understand some words from this comment!

I was checking out the tabs on the internet. Nothing really did come to my mind. So I tried youtube and found this. This is damn excellent! Watched the movie one time and I remember it all what you were showing. Also got the same guitar hehe :D This is gonna be fun. Thanks man!

[@PurpleHobGoblin]

Downstrokes, gotta dig in man! 💪

[@cipronix4394]

this guy answered a comment on an 8 year old video

[@oasis2453]

A very helpful lesson. Loads of thanks. I've been wondering, why ain't there separate 'lead guitar lessons' and 'rhythm guitar lessons' for songs? I only see solos being taught for the lead. I find it cumbersome to go through tabs for learning lead parts.

[@erikhendrickson59]

[@BosephusBigelsworth]

what a great channel. subscribed!

[@adanchoslash]

the same sound needs overdrive 7-gain 4-bass 5-middle 5-treble and you need a phaser pedal to get the riff the main riff and the solo (intro and main)

[@Mo6No6No6Ke]

I don't understand what is the best way to do those muted notes in the verse, should I use alternate picking? two downstrokes and one upstroke? Right now I do it starting with a downstroke

[@Mo6No6No6Ke]

the ones at the minute 6:03

[@PhantomXT]

It depends on how you feel more comfortable, I also use alternate picking for that part, starting and finishing with downstrokes, that way, you can use the momentum of the final downstroke for the next part.

[@Mo6No6No6Ke]

PhantomXT Thanks, I just saw the guy in the video doing it differently, and I wanted to know if there was a correct way

[@coeurvaillan]

Very good. Can you tell me what is your gear to get this tone?

Been studying this song for one year now (the verse is hard for me) and this is the best tutorial I found so far. I also love the sound of your setup, what amp do you use?

[@MrGGMan19]

if you want, you can also hit open a string whenever he goes 5th on E string in the intro, it sounds the same and it might be easier for you.
