Randy's Picking
Randy's picking technique is quite extraordinary in that it allows him to play both Legato and Staccato flurries whenever he wished. The pinky is used to support the entire hand (like a fulcrum or pivot) while the other fingers fan out away from the pinky. Muting is also key here. Without the pinky resting near the bridge the picking hand is unable to judge the distance from the strings. With feedback as a most likely problem, controlling the amount of attack allows you the ability of playing a greater variety of arpeggios without the sloppiness of sustained notes.

Sorry for the repeat...
I heard the news on the radio that day in March (coming up). I am 40 and brand new here but I got into the boots (I had to find em first) about 1994. My friend gave me a nice VHS of after hours in 1985 which wasn't the broadcast version without host Marty Doodah (not sure of spelling-sounds like Camptown races- Doo daa) on there at 31 Studios. By the way, that was in Spencerport, NY which is about 10 miles from Rochester, NY. I have some nice shows on vinyl, CD and tapes (Good Sources)including a Randy lesson tape from a Circus or Hit parader mag that I sent away for.
I am up for hearing some new shows (they will come out) or any other recordings. You could say I discovered the Suicide Solution Demo (like Columbus did!) when a trading friend lent me the tape. I was converting to disc and he wanted what was on the other side! I was amazed. It said Ozzy demo. Was like, Right okay. Then I freaked out upon hearing it. Someone I knew sent the CDR of my tape Chelmsford '80 I have with the demos tacked on for bonus. This became the Chelmsford complete CD. They EQ'ed the hell out of if and tried to cut out the audience guy who must have gone to a previous show - yells out the songs titles before they go into them. Why? It really would have been a nice boot but it sucks. It's awful. It does have Revelation mother earth and Paranoid which makes it complete.
I'm not sure if I'm in the correct forum but I just wanted to say (In Ozzy's English accent) "I'm here" meaning I'd like to talk to the serious Rhoads fans who know what their doing and maybe we can get some of this stuff out to the community in the best quality. I don't think I can say everything I can offer will be brand new or the best quality you have heard but I don't know what is the best out there. There are a lot of crap CD's/CDR's of the same old shows.
The differences of Tribute, Cleveland and Montreal are a ripe topic of discussion. The only way to tell is to write down Ozzy's comments (word for word). On the boot Randy fudges the beginning of the tapping part in Crazy train but is corrected on tribute. Tribute's No Bone Movies isn't from either show????
Ozzy always sounded bad and that's why they don't want to release anything. On the video Speak of the Devil, I swear Ozzy overdubbed his vocals. There are plenty of parts that don't match up to Ozzy's vocal on that video/LaserDisc.
Well that's all for now, folks...
