Randy Rhoads was an incredible guitar player and musician and co-wrote this song with Ozzy Osbourne. In this video, we\u2019re joined by our good friend DJ Temple, to dissect the riff and learn it.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re finding this riff to be a challenge, it\u2019s derived from a basic minor scale pattern that you can practice on its own to get the hang of it. Be sure to place your thumb on the back of the neck to put your hand in a comfortable position to hit all the notes easily. Once you\u2019ve learned this lick, try learning the rest of the song or maybe another Ozzy Osbourne song!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Learn how to play the opening riff from the iconic classic rock tune Crazy Train.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":24,"featured_media":444,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.guitareo.com\/riff\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/105"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.guitareo.com\/riff\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.guitareo.com\/riff\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.guitareo.com\/riff\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/24"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.guitareo.com\/riff\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=105"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.guitareo.com\/riff\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/105\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":316,"href":"https:\/\/www.guitareo.com\/riff\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/105\/revisions\/316"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.guitareo.com\/riff\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/444"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.guitareo.com\/riff\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=105"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.guitareo.com\/riff\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=105"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.guitareo.com\/riff\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=105"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
