1978 Randy Rhoads Private Lesson

In late 1978, Peter Margolis took a short lesson at Musonia School of Music and taped it for learning later.
*I do not own this footage*

[@MichaelDouglasSkewes]

I have hours of Randy patiently showing me stuff ,sounds just like this ,that little room echo . I was 12/13,14 ,until he took off for Ozzy , and then he came back after recording blizzard of Ozz and I took a few more lessons ,Joe Homes also took them when he came back for a break. I had almost the same talk about him and him not having Marshalls and I was about 15 ,but listen to him with the practice amp and that crazy MXR distortion + ! It's all in the fingers of the master! I'm glad I have my tapes ,still thinking about putting them up on KZbin.

[@MichaelDouglasSkewes]

@bobproctor-ne9tg I just ordered the digitizing equipment. I'll try posting a few ! I have posted hundreds of hours of Randy live with Ozzy! That is something! I have almost every show he played ,and a few videos ,that I can't put up. But as soon as I hook up all this stuff I'll get it online .

@bobproctor-ne9tg hopefully it will be up soon!

Wow...thnx for sharing🎸

[@crabtrap]

Seriously need to get those tapes posted. Its about preserving music history. Randy had such a short career/life

[@douglassmith5466]

That would be so fantastic of you! Anything of Randy"s would be great, and hundreds of hours would be awesome! I was lucky enough to get some Ozzy Randy bootlegs! They were great and some as good as Tribute. I learned a lot just from hearing this 8 minute video, anything would be greatly appreciated. Dis Randy teach with the white Les Paul, or something Les valuable to him? I save my best guitar for just recording, so I don't damage it. My practice guitar is good though, too, so I'm lucky to have both.

We would have gotten an amazing instructional guitar video out of Randy had he lived. No doubt about it. This is the closest thing to that

[@Chris-f4n5r]

Yes too bad it's like Jesus giving Judas or Pilot a guitar lesson. The student in video named Peter margolis exploited randy and his family to the highest possible degree, for monetary gain. He even has his own goon squad that harasses the Rhoads family and insulted R.R. late mother Delores aka DEE, when she was alive. Peter margolis and co.; Will burn in he dbl hockey styx. Idk why but every1 I know w/ a last name beginning w/ letters: MAR, are pure evil...not the good kind either..like ozzy n Alice Cooper. I mean the scum of the universe.

[@guitarslinger32269]

I'm a longtime guitar instructor....and Randy's lesson here is incredibly thorough. What's so impressive is: it's from 1978....and it's a rock guitar lesson. Very few rock guitar teachers today are so knowledgeable...because many create their own theory...and are instinctive....but Randy...in 1978: every bit as thorough and informed as a jazz teacher in year 20 of teaching ;)

A bit of Crazy Train too

[@johnhagan582]

Yeah but it was the guy that was taking the lesson that first came up with that riff and Randy told the dude that was good and that he should make a song with that riff .but the student told Randy he could use it to make a song and Randy asked the kid "you don't mind" ? and the guy said go ahead and Randy thanked him .Go back and listen to it again. that first time you hear that riff it was the student that played is saying he had came up with it

It seems Randy was happiest teaching people how to play.

[@Loobie-q6k]

He seems so genuine humble. He's a teacher at heart and seems willing to advise, help and teacher others what he can. It's crazy because I'm sure he's a lot of people favorite guitarist but, I first feel in love with his Mr. Crowley solo which is my favorite solo and all his other melodics solos he's created. Judging from documentaries and incite what other fellow guitarist, close friends of his and family have stated and said of Randy as a humble person. What also attract me most from him be my upmost favorite guitarist is that he made you feel as if you were talking to a normal genuine person not giving you the feel that he's all high and mighty and not blinding himself from fame and glory knowing that with his talent and skills he doesn't result himself from bring out a bad persona. I really respect his talent and work of art as a incredible musician but what made me feel victim to being his biggest fan and my favorite guitarist is his kind nature and humble side.

[@DVSNTHERE]

He seems like he was so cool and generous and easy going.

[@DVSNTHERE]

Randy always suggested not to have guitar hero’s or at least he didn’t, but Im glad is my guitar hero

Long Live Randy Rhoads!

[@SunSimLord]

I began playing guitar at age 10, I'm now 60, I was 10 in 1973, so since I enjoyed rock music, I remember playing songs by Black Sabbath like Iron Man and the famous first guitar song of many new guitarists back then which was Smoke on the Water by Richie Blackmoore & Deep Purple. In 1978 Eddie amazed us with his guitar licks in the mighty Van Halen. I was a freshman in highschool when I went to my first concert with Mom and friends at Cincinnati's Riverfront Coliseum to see the KISS Dynasty tour. To top it off, the world was changed as Randy and Ozzy gave us the Blizzard of Ozz record in March of 1981 (6 months earlier in the UK) which was my graduation year. My point is that I was very fortunate to be at the age I was at while I was playing guitar and enjoying and experiencing some of the very best Rock music ever to be created right at the pinnacle of Rock music's most pure, amazing and world changing time, in my opinion. This really is an excellent and noteworthy Channel. 🤍 It's also serves as a historical record of one of the world's most admired guitarists. Thanks for sharing and doing such a top notch, professional job for all your Viewers and Randy's longtime fans. -☀️

[@RandyRhoadsClips]

That's the reason I made this channel. I just wanted fans of Randy to find videos they might not have seen before. Older folks can relive the first time they heard him and younger people can hear him for the first time!! You've got such a great history. Thank you so much 🤘

[@SunSimLord]

@@RandyRhoadsClips Your more than welcome. I'm with you on that. That's a brilliant way to look at it, each and every year, many more people can enjoy this rare footage as Randy's fan base continues to grow throughout the years .

[@markdawsonziglar9436]

I lament the loss of his impact on neo-classical rock as it was maturing into what we have today. I often wonder how different it might be had he survived.

[@alphaandomegaministry2718]

For me personally, he's my go to if I have to pick a number one rock guitarist in the world. Not only was he so technically good but an extremely talented musician. You could have played his stuff to Bach - and Bach would have understood where Randy was going with a song, a riff, a solo.

Well you read something similar. Louis, I know what you mean, I would give anything if Randy hadn’t got in that plane. That report said that Randy hated to fly but the pilot kept bugging him trying to talk him into getting in the plane so Randy gave in and got on.

Wwo you can here the early ideas for Blizzard of Ozz in there! :)

[@earthkeepr7591]

I love how he couldn’t afford 2 Marshall’s so he forced the sound with 1 and a distortion peddle.

[@RandyRhoadsClips]

At the time of this, he didn't have any Marshall's yet!

[@davidwooderson46]

he had an old peavey amp and a small practice amp back then that's it. No marshalls

[@saturnsabyss]

Interesting to see that he already had the Steal Away riff down pat before joining Ozzy

[@robchell9196]

Here’s Steal Away the Night…but you can use it…………lmao!

[@Mike-eq4ky]

Thanks for this... His legacy lives on. How more would he have learned and accomplished if he'd lived to today?? And I loved hearing the Genesis of Steal Away the Night in this clip... Was it before or after Blizzard??

[@RandyRhoadsClips]

This was about a year or so before Blizzard

[@VashStarwind]

Holy crap him just noodling sounds like crazy train. Thats awesome. You can hear it being created ha.

I feel like a fly on the wall with a tiny guitar just listening in

[@dhyde9780]
