Randy Rhoads Playing Blues - 1979

[@Is308enough]

That is some great playing. Just love Randy’s style.

[@theonethatisallnoneandone]

randy was the only one close to Jimi...if you listen to Jimi Hendrix live Berkeley hear my train a comin and red house lose randall's island it is obvious...Eddie didn't have the magic he was just technically brilliant...Zappa was great but also not the full soul that Jimi and randy translated thru their guitars...Jimmy Page comes close...Jeff beck.. clapton was great...Alvin Lee...Blackmore... Iommi and Schenker and Santana and stevie ray and Steve Vai and so many others but in my view it's just Jimi and randy best guitarists ever

[@michaeljanni6407]

So amazing. If this was on a blues album, it would immediately be considered a top effort by whoever recorded it. Imagine Randy playing blues with Stevie Ray…..

[@Shan-5544]

That would have been so awesome. Now that would’ve been one hell of a show.😊

[@s4lroachclip]

As much as I have always put Randy in the number 1 spot for my favorite guitarist, SRV would take him to school on the blues. But it would have made for a real good show. It is just because the blues like SRV played was like Randy having to learn a second language. Randy was more classical in his interest and style, which was put into rock, at the time it was metal. SRV was the exception for his style too. Both were touched by a divine spirit.

OMG!!! This made my life, not my day!! I am in complete awe in how this young man, what, was he was maybe 20-23 when he did this, knew his fretboard that well! That is just amazing. I am blown away at his talent. He was my favorite the minute I heard the first song with him with Ozzy (crazy Train), and 40 years later NO ONE has taken his place. I love many other guitar players but no one has captured my attention or my heart like Randy.

[@MrTravlinman1973]

​​@@Lastfirst333 you are right Randy was amazing and could play anything. He new exactly what he was playing and where to go with it. During the Diary tour he literally would improvise his already extremly difficult solos off the cuff because he was tired of playing the same thing every night. He had a talent we will never see again in our lifetimes.

Holy friggin' mother of pearl.... A Bluesman at ❤.Blind Blake is smiling ear to ear from above!

[@Thomas-h8j]

[@nathaliegerard4313]

Du blues façon Randy rhoads, excellent j'adore.🎸👍🤟❤️❤️❤️❤️. Rip Randy.🙏

[@ssmedley]

The Blues........Randy Style.

[@VinCostanza]

Imagine if Randy lived longer. He wouldve left ozzy and started his own solo career. Oh how nice that wouldve been.

[@Shan-5544]

Wow Wow Wow. This is some sick licks. Just absolutely incredible. Love it !!! And at 15 . I can only imagine what he would have done thru out his life. Rest Easy Randy. You are loved and adored and will never leave my heart 💜💚💙💜🎸🎸🎯🙏🙏🙏

[@DannyRedCheeks]

He’s playing the blues but it’s Randy’s own stamp on it Anyone can mimic other players and play their stuff note for note but it takes a real Talent to have his own style I’ve always loved Randy but this was amazing Imagine if he had good equipment too…his amp was junk and in one taped lesson I heard he even said he wanted a Marshall but couldn’t afford it so he had to make due He still made it sound great

[@davidupright5790]

There's got to be so much stuff with him messing around at the studio with Ozzy saw them at Music Mountain August 8th 1981 and that was the last time I've looked around please somebody find some great concert footage instead of most of these blurry clips there's got to be a lot out there

[@kenedie4646]

I have this. Randy rules!

[@mattohara957]

2:10 OTM!!!

[@wmjoca]

This was recorded on Randy’s brother Kell’s tape recorder. Kell and his band were in studio recording. He was quite high at the time and left the recorder running when they were done. Randy and his band went into to rehearse. Kell realized later that Randy got recorded.

[@RandyRhoadsClips]

Love hearing stories about clips! Awesome stuff

[@louisscoppetto6147]

Thought this was recorded by a Steve? Was at Musonia for a bass lesson, Randy sat in with him, shredded over his bass line

[@jamiebroadway4797]

All I can say is wow. Miss Randy

[@alz1878]

Awesome 🎸⭐thanks

[@scottperry6865]

Outstanding

[@nunyabuziness8421]

Why did he get on that plane? Imagine the music we would have today

[@ORYTHE]

To get pictures for his mom. That's why he did it

[@SvMobyduck]

Thanks for cleaning this one up! Sounds good!

[@teds1977]

Great clip! There's no question that Randy's primary rock guitar influence was Jimmy Page. He would have been a great fit with Page on a post-LZ solo project ala Peter Green w John Mayall & the Bluesbreakers.

[@ImproveYourMagic]

Yes!!

[@sheila6188]

Lindo 💞

[@dolphin8077]

Randy 😌💔💔💔

[@byron1435]

Super nice ,randy was in his own league,for real

[@Shan-5544]

When u hear him in a interview. He seems so soft spoken and humble really kind hearted. Just a awesome person. Wish I could have known him. ❤🙏🕊🎸❤🙏🕊

[@Shan-5544]

Rhoads Rules !!!!!!❤

[@MrTravlinman1973]

Randy could play anything with perfection.

[@przemekborowski5751]

If you know how to play blues its mean you are high skilled and understood music

[@MrTravlinman1973]

​@@przemekborowski5751 Randy grew up in his mother's music school in Burbank CA. Was the most sought after guitar teacher in so. California since his early teens.And had a vast musical knowledge. He was always striving to learn more. This was recorded on a tape recorder at musonia with him playing over one of his students playing a simple bass line..

[@Hitemwhereithurtss]

Legendary

[@garyjohnson9134]

At 2:57 he does a run from his Suicide Solution live solo

[@s4lroachclip]

Thanks for this, if it is even really Randy

[@Shan-5544]

Shit I hope it is. I’m gonna say it’s him. Randy was so great, What an impact he made only doing two albums. He’s my absolute favorite guitarist in the world. Mad skills🎸💙🎸💙🎸💙🎸💙

[@s4lroachclip]

@@Shan-5544He did 4 albums. 2 with Quiet Riot, 2 with Ozzy. The first two were not a major label though and I think were not released in the usa

[@Ryan-wi7ru]

This is definitely randy. He was teaching a bass player some blues and was riffing over top of what he was doing. You can tell it’s him from the guitar playing, but also his voice where he tells him in the beginning “alright let’s do this slow please”. Dude was phenomenal in all types of music

[@real_sa1vaje_974]

How do you find archives like that!

[@RandyRhoadsClips]

Digging deep around the internet!

[@hideyoshitokugawa1542]

Same like buddy guy

[@rickylee58]

yeah, he was better than EVH

[@MrTravlinman1973]

He definetly was better.

[@deshondetoro1638]

100%

[@WarthDader74]

No, he was NOT

[@NovChivon]

randy had that extra something special that eddie didn't have...he had magic 1. jimi 2. randy 3. eddie

[@WarthDader74]

@@NovChivon He wrote better songs, but Eddie was definitely better in playing solos. Randy also copied Eddie a lot.
