Soloing Secrets – Randy Rhoads
Hey everyone! Here’s the next episode of Soloing Secrets with another BIG one – Randy Rhoads! This lesson has been on the backburner and brewing quietly for years, and I’m stoked to finally unleash more of the late-great Randy Rhoads music and ideas on the channel – so let’s dive in!
This lesson revolves around a handful of licks and concepts pulled from four Randy Rhoads-related albums. This includes both Ozzy studio albums and the Tribute live album featuring Randy, along with an early deep-cut from Randy’s time playing with Quiet Riot in the late 1970s.
The ideas shared here include a look at Randy’s solo from the Quiet Riot song Trouble, a look at some licks from the live version of Believer from the Tribute album, an overview of the two-string pivot arpeggios that Randy was fond of using in his solos/music, and a set of four variations of “The Randy Rhoads Lick” as they appear in the songs Goodbye To Romance, Crazy Train, S.A.T.O., and I Don’t Know – to be specific.
Needless to say, if you’re a Randy Rhoads/Ozzy Osbourne fan, a viewer that asked for more of Randy Rhoads musical magic, a player looking to add some timeless and legendary lead guitar ideas from an absolute master, or maybe you’re just curious what all the fuss is about – this lesson is totally for you! Give this episode a view, leave some comments/feedback, and please subscribe to Late Night Lessons – THANK YOU!

Next time you cover Rhoads, may I suggest no "whittling". I'm sure I'm not alone in looking forward to a 2-3 hour Rhoads lesson, and I doubt there's anybody that could do it better justice. Thanks so much for this!
a wealth of inspiration. great share thank you!????????
I love this channel, I can't thank you enough for all the things you share. As a 60+ player, you are a killer inspiration!
The Randy lick is unmistakably RR. When I learned that lick, it unlocked all of these other ideas for me. It’s one of the best ones to learn in my opinion.
Do they make a penis enlarger for fingers? I have trouble stretching four frets!
David, what amp are you using here? It sounds really good, but doesn’t look like ur old one.
I’ll say it again, best damn guitar channel on YouTube! Thanks so much for the education brother!
Tribute changed my life when I was a boy! In fact when I heard the studio versions of those songs I didn't like it. I was soo used to the tribute versions. You're right, he sounds way more relaxed with fire. There's nothing like those tribute songs. He's truly the greatest ever on that album!
We need a Dimebag solo secrets video asap
Amazing! Thanks for doing this.
The deep dive you took to connect these dots did not go unnoticed. Please accept my sincere gratitude for all your hard work.
It’s this kind of research and analysis that enables us to crawl in to the heads of these great guitarists and find the distilled common threads that culminated in their individual styles.
Sorry to ask this is standard tuning of half step down? Just asking because other lessons stated the tuning. Randy played down half step with the Ozz.
Awesome! You got the first two right. It was always Ed snd Randy, and then everybody else.
Awesome man! I have your guitar’s twin brother!
The Tribute song book is terribly inaccurate
more people need to know about Leo Brouwer
I LOVE your Soloing Secrets series!! So helpful and insightful. You are an amazing player too! Keep up the good work!!
Thank you so much. This was great ???? I've been struggling to compose guitar solos… now do Glenn Tipton, the greatest solo writer and song composer in metal. At best, the Glenn and Randy tied. KK Downing would be fun to research too
Inspiring Randy
Great job brother. Nice tone
11:10 and then the next night he played it differently again. Chasing a rabbit hole of Randy bootlegs is a trip. He never played the same show two nights in a row
I vote for a 2 hour Randy Rhoads lesson! Thanks again for the great channel, David!
Thanks Dave!
Ya Randy blew everybody’s mind
When the Ozzys stuff came out
The intro to Diary of a Madman always caught me , I never played classical music ,but a lot of my guitar hero’s Do !! Uli , Blackmore …..
So I learned that intro ????
Still play it every time I pick up a guitar, it just sounds so good when you can play it Clean!!
Getting harder now that I’m Old ????????????
Fingers are getting harder to move , but I’m still trying ????????????
Thanks Dave another Great post !!!
two hours for Rhoads would be ok …just sayin 🙂
I like that you mentioned Leo Brouwer, I learned about him through an article about Randy. Fun Fact: Leo is Al Jorgensen's uncle
Thanks dave,enjoyed that.RR was my hero.
Wow…way to highlight, explore, and point out some amazing Randy soloing licks. I'll work on them for sure.
Wtf? Where's the picture? Stupid
Upvote for the “Trouble” solo !
Eddie inspired me to start playing but Randy was a bigger early influence, mainly because my first guitar didn’t have a bar and Randy’s solos were composed in a way that they could be slowed down and repeated with a metronome, whereas Eddie’s were too seat-of-pants and haphazard for me to replicate (still are!). And like you, he was my gateway to classical guitar. Had he lived, I picture him spending a career running a university guitar program since it seemed like he didn’t enjoy his taste of rock stardom much.
My man anytime you cover Randy Rhoads, please feel free to make the video 2 hours long….or 5 hours. He was a genius.
Thanks David ???? ????????????????????
Thank you for another wonderful lesson.
Waaaaa Trouble! Great song!
Thanks for the great lesson, I love Randy Rhoads, could you make a video of Chris Poland lick, I love him too (sorry for the mistakes, I'm writing through a translator)
As always David awesome stuff here! Randy is still a true inspiration! I was lucky enough to pick a Karl Sandoval Randy Rhoads guitar. I will be buried with that guitar! Awesome kick a$$ Metal Month!!????????????????????????
Excellent vídeo, part 2 please ????
Thank you sir, can also do a soloing secret lesson on Steve lukather , thank you
Love that you always frame a record cover for the artist you're featuring.???? got a request for you (don't know if you've done him before…) . Chris Haskett (his rollins band stuff). I find him a really unique player who many guitar players may not have paid attention to. Great bluesy solos over heavy groovy music and very interesting riffing. One for the future maybe? Thanks in advance. Best guitar channel on youtube btw. Straight to the point and no arrogance/pretentiousness. Rare these days ????
I would love to see a similar video like this but on Carlos cavazo
Hell yea.
Amazing video like always! It would be nice if you could cover Ace Frehley in a similar video since he recently passed away and is such an influential and legendary guitar player! Blessings always!
Randy is the best he is jamming it heaven now
