This is arguably Randy Rhoads most popular solo. It has a bit of everything and is for advanced players. There's some really nice wide vibrato, some cool minor licks, some great legato style playing, the tapping arpeggio at the start and that wicked fast lick at the end! It will definitely take some work to get this one sounding right. One of the tricks that Randy used was to triple track his solos and that's what I did in the demo. Later in the video I spend some time going over the benefits of double and triple tracking. I had a blast making this video! Once you get it down it's a really challenging and fun solo to play. I also included that really awesome fill from the 1st verse. This is such a great legato type lick and once you learn it you can use the basics of it to come up with your own licks, it's definitely worth learning. I hope you enjoy the lesson and have fun learning the solo. I get a lot of questions about my sound so here's what I'm using: My amp is an Egnater Renegade head through a Marshall 1960b cabinet. I use a TC Electronics Nova System through the loop for effects. I also use a BB preamp on some lead tones and sometimes (rarely) a Boss CS-3 compressor.The reverb is from the amp. My wah is a Dunlop MC404 CAE Dual Inductor, REALLY great pedal! I also use a Polytune tuner which is fantastic. For the rhythm and 1st verse fill part I had my Egnater at full gain and with my BB preamp for a little extra juice. In the solo section I used a Suhr Riot pedal on my gain channel with the gain set to barely one, just enough to make a sound. The amp volume was really low, you could talk over it! The riot is an extreme pedal but it made a pretty decent sound for this solo. My guitar is a 1975 Gibson Les Paul Deluxe. I have Suhr Aldrich pickups on it. I have them coil split, but for this video they were in full humbucker mode. Folks may be surprised at how much time and effort goes into creating these videos.
