Early Years

Randolph "Randy" Charles Bachman was born on September 27, 1943, in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada, to Karl and Nancy (Dobrinsky) Bachman. A skilled singer, even as a child, at the age of three, he won a vocal contest sponsored by radio station CKY-FM. At the age of five, he was enrolled at the Royal Toronto Conservatory of Music, where he studied the violin for seven years. Inspired to play guitar by legends such asElvisPresley, he was taught the instrument by other talented and well-known musicians. From the age of 16 to the age of 18, he learned the art of fingerpicking – a guitar-playing technique that involves plucking the strings instead of flatpicking – by esteemed jazz and country musician Lenny Breau. He was also taught a few tricks by country and blues guitarist – and pioneer of the solid-body electric guitar –Les Paul.

While a wonderful student of guitar, Bachman didn't excel in academics. He attended Edmund Partridge Junior High School and West Kildonan Collegiate – a high school in Manitoba – and was kept back in 10th as well as 11th grade. After being expelled from his high school due to a lack of dedication to his education, he was enrolled in a different high school – Garden City Collegiate – which he graduated from. Bachman then went on to attend Red River College Polytechnic in Winnipeg, majoring in business administration, but he dropped out before completing the program.
