What Are You Working On Right Now?

Honestly, it is now in my top 3 Ozzy songs and I feel like it has everything. Having a blast so far.

It does. You could cultivate skills in a diverse armada of approaches
with just that one song, including shifting time signatures, funky ass aregegiated
chords that are in no other rock or metal songs, and some flat-out bad-ass riffage.

I need to revisit it. Stoked to hear you are having a blast with it, Dave.

Spot on mister! I get sad every time I think about him passing, so unique in every way.

With the clean arpeggiated part, a couple of those, "funky chords" really throw me. First 3 are easy pretty standard, but whoa wtf, afterwards?! My pinky no want to do that!

I think he was trying to piss himself off so he'd really slam the 1st palm muted chunk, lol.

Cool thing is I have the 2 main riffs damn near spot on, and they will bring the grins full bore! Solo is a mix, easy in parts, from what I've seen - but it's next!

Love it, @Warmart !!!

It was because of Randy and his passion for "theory" and Classical Guitar that I wanted to
learn all that stuff. He was brilliant in so many ways. Amazing how great he and EVH were, too,
and yet there styles and approaches are literally world's apart.

Randy be all, "You will use your pinky fokkers!!!"

Some kids were messing around in my music room yesterday and when I came down today there was a thumb pick sitting on my desk.

I decided it was a sign, so now I’m working on my finger picking with a thumb pick. I pulled out some old Chet Atkins books and started digging in.

Also, I came across this section from Country Gentleman. I love these super wide intervals! This is something I haven’t experimented with before, so I’m going to dig into this concept a bit.

I’m a sucker for cool harmonic ideas and I was geeking out a bit on the first measure of the third line how that parallel movement slides the bass note up to the dom 7 all within the A chord tones . So simple, yet so effective
