Those who worked with Rhoads praised his musical ability and technical prowess. While his career was woefully short, he thankfully left a great many songs for future generations to enjoy. One of the most legendary is probably “Mr. Crowley”, on which he provides the guitar solo. There are also several recordings of shows he participated in, which can provide a small window on his abilities.

One of those abilities appears to be a great deal of focus onstage!

Thank you for your music, Mr. Rhoads!
