Notes

Live performance, early 1980s (1981 era). Gear confirmed for live Ozzy Osbourne shows with Randy Rhoads. No evidence of alternate guitars or amps for clean sections in live Mr. Crowley; same Les Paul/Marshall rig used throughout.

Difficulty

The clean riff requires moderate control for clarity and sustain, but is not technically demanding beyond basic single-note playing and dynamic control.
