Notes

Studio recording for 'Over the Mountain' solo, 1981. Randy Rhoads' main studio guitar for this era was the white 1974 Gibson Les Paul Custom with a Seymour Duncan Distortion in the bridge. Marshall 1959 Super Lead was used for the album. Effects were added via pedals and studio rack units. No evidence of live/tour gear for this specific solo.

Difficulty

The solo features rapid-fire legato and alternate picking, advanced tapping, and expressive phrasing, making it highly challenging for most guitarists.
