Notes

Live performance, early 1980s (Blizzard of Ozz/Diary of a Madman tour era). Randy Rhoads used his white Les Paul Custom with a Seymour Duncan JB in the bridge and a Marshall Super Lead head, boosted with an MXR Distortion +. Settings and effects are based on live era and multiple sources. Effects chain includes MXR Distortion + and delay for solos.
