The main riff (the driving sixteenths and the aggressive, punchy chords) is what most of the fans (and admirers) of the Blizzard of Ozz first associated with Randy Rhoads. The solid rhythm-riff with the muted, constant pedal A string has become a heavy metal staple. This particular chord progression and approach really sums up Randy's heavy rock direction.

Another stylistic device often used by Randy to decorate a song is this fill - a briskly executed series of pulloffs and hammerons. It was always derived from the tonal center of the progression (in this case, A minor) and appeared in many other forms throuought Randy's output (Crazy Train and You Can't Kill Rock and Roll are further examples.) Here, the effect is colored by the discreet use of wah-wah pedal, which is applied as an EQ filter.

The first section of the guitar solo is played against a droning G (no 3rd) chord and borrows liberally from Randy's blues and straight-ahead rock heritage. His ferocious blues/pentatonic runs are delivered with a screaming, sustaining tone; his Les Paul going through an MXR Distortion + fuzz and the distinctive, mid range boosted EQ setting into blazing Marshalls. A tastefull sprinkling of eccentric guitar tricks (including bent-neck vibrato, pick-edge hammerons, muted timbres, and chromatic sequences) is interpolated into the more standard blues/rock vocabulary.
