Famous Guitar Riffs – Play “Crazy Train” by Ozzy Osbourne/Randy Rhoads

Back in 1980, I bought my very first record album from Tower Records (remember them?) in San Francisco. It was “Blizzard Of Ozz” by Ozzy Osbourne. I don’t really know why I bought that album. The cover kind of freaked me out and I don’t think I even knew who Black Sabbath was at the time. Regardless of my sheltered childhood I fortunately purchased one of the most momentous metal albums of all-time. The guitar playing of Randy Rhoads on that album continues to set a benchmark for all hard-rockers with a sensitive side. The fact that almost every guitar part, even the leads, were double or triple tracked is still a mind blower.

In the following video guitar lesson I show the opening riff and verse guitar parts for “Crazy Train” both full and half speed.
