Alcohol is mostly the problem with most musicians, but it's easier to say 'accident'.

So, what what you're saying is, "That dood had an incredible understanding of the basics", and far beyond. Clearly, you have a similar understanding. You're lucky to "get it", and thanks for such a clarity that I will study for years to come. Seriously... YOU DICK!! Thanks for opening that can of worms that are going to eat my living corpse!!! ha ha ha.. No Joke... Great video. You have done your homework better than I ever will and it shows. Well done mate.

Randy

Try to make a lesson about how Randy Rhoads used Chromatic notes because he would often add in chromatic notes to his riffs, licks and solos

Yezzzzz sir!

I gotta say brother, you're a perfect teacher for me because you talk about theory knowledge, your voice is chill and your instructions are clear to understand. As an intermediate guitarist I love lessons like these to help me grow musically. Thank you so much, and I hope you continue to find new ways to incorporate more Rhoads content on your amazing channel!

I’ll tell you what think aboot Yngwie pre and post accident; I think he still rips, eh! As sweet as Maple syrup on Canadian bacon or hotcakes. As aggressive as the RMCP during Canadian winter. He never lost his Viking edge, I’ll tell you what!

Technically Eddie is better at playing guitar, but randy was a better writer. But the real props goes to jimmy page for inspiring them.

Stringbean showed Eddie what to do , the rest is history.

I think the album “Fire And Ice” proves he still had amazing technique and tone after the accident. When you go forward after that his age in combination with drinking I think starts to affect his playing. Not sure why his tone got worse tho. To me his tone doesn’t improve again until the “Unleash the Fury” album. Then it gets worse after that lol

Sorry, you dont get to get pissed off at Tom Tapping on the guitar when your entire band is a ripoff of Montrose. I love the guitar sounds he created but Eddie was a jack off. He had beef or said people copied off him all the time. Rhodes was twice the player... yet Eddie says he inspired him or some other bullshit. I mean the guy talked shit on Jimmy Page for fucks sake.

Great video!!

its not the tone and playing differences its the recordings. One is clearly guitar and the next is the mic of the whole arena. You can clearly hear none of them are mic'd the same and recorded the same, one might just be a camera sound.

Life is good was played on a telecaster. Walk this way was played on a stratocaster. Otherwise great list.

Awesome video thank you so much! It blows my mind how Randy was so ahead of his time that we're STILL learning and studying what he did. Truly a timeless guitarist

Awesome

I knew about Yngwie in the 80s from guitar magazine articles, and ads for DiMarzio pickups. I only heard his music in 1988 after the accident: it was Marching Out. After that, I got my hands on all the available Yngwie material I could easily find. To me, there was an obvious difference in the guitar picking in the Odyssey album, not to mention tone. I found out about the accident in some magazine interview about Yngwie, which explained everything.

I suspect that Yngwie has gotten deaf. That's why his tone has become so trebly. He works by himself with drum machines in order to hide that. In the Beato interview he played some licks. The tone was so shrill, I thought, if that sounds normal to him, his high frequency hearing must be shot to hell. Possibly, the accident may have damaged the way he hears.

There was a documentary about Yngwie's young life with lots of pictures from Sweden around his home town. It showed the trashed Jaguar. Man, that thing looks like it wrapped around the tree like tin foil. It's amazing the guy survived at all.

UPTEMPOMUSIClesson, Often Randy Rhoads uses Aeolian b5 which is Melodic Minor MODE called Locrian natural 2 or 9th. So you should really study all Ozzy albums and live albums to find Randy Rhoads Aeolian b5 licks to make a lesson about them because it gives those diminished tonality because of the aeolian b5 = locrian tonality

You are awesome 🤩 ❤

Awesome as usual Ed❤️

Thank you

Thank you. Great approach with lessons, bring the timing in...excellent. Brilliant.

Guitar god!

Nice lesson !!!

Great lesson ... Thank you for sharing 👍👍

the difference was he probably cut back hard on the blow because he was losing his mind lol he had a big ol resurgence with it in the 90s though

I made a donation but I’ve received no documents?

I think the scallop develops a light touch . A light touch allows for better speed

Everyone compliments you on your talent but me because talent is a gift. I compliment you on your hard work that you obviously invested in or you wouldn't be the great guitarist that you are.

Awesome as usual Ed... Your rude mood licks got me jealous... Major talent right there buddy. Need to reach out for some lessons on my scales and modes as I've hit that proverbial wall...ugh🤘 Cheers brother❤️

Excellent .... thank you for sharing

It is not a question of "was he". It is a question of "by how much".

Wow this is so interesting!!

Love the videos can’t stand the fake cheering 🤮

Dude, no disrespect but it’s you’re over over amplify the sound dude I did Randy Rose shark tail with active electronics back in the 80s early 80s you’re over amplifying these things man I had invader pick ups on it was the deal

Randy estaba adelantado mucho a van halen

Angus cannot speak bad about Steve. Steve has a classical study background.

One thing to recreate your version of something, it’s another thing to be the originator

Randy Rhodes

Don’t forget John Mayer

Is it possible that the hair dye on his sideburns is also slowing down his right hand.

Comparing 2 videos from two isolated concerts, different equipment, mics, room, etc. ...not really a scientific sample

thank you, appreciate the effort and accuracy of tabs.

I love YM for the energy and attitude. Big fan! That said, he's not an emotional player and is therefore easy to replicate. It's the same with Matteo Mancuso when attempting to cover Jeff Beck. At the end of the day, the heart remembers and the mind forgets.

I think a combination of the accident and him just resting on being an elite shredder is what caused this to happen. I mean when he came out no one was even close but over time it doesn’t seem he evolved much beyond what he was doing in the early 80s. I should also say I’m a big fan and think he’s an amazing guitarist pre and post accident.

I think these are tough samples to compare if seeking an answer to this. Those Alcatraz videos and early vids might be studio overdubs, and thats where his playing sounds most precise. Random recorded live videos with live audio are going to be a crapshoot audii quality wise and performance wise.

Eddie Van Halen Sucks!

Fkn stupid arguments! Styles make players. Randy is my top 3! Evh better rhythm,whammy bar techniques,played keys,drums, and wrote hits. Crazy train solo awsome.. Eruption nothing like it at that time.
