Randy's The Best!!

I was lucky enough to grow up watching Randy play weekends at the Starwood on Santa Monica Blvd with Quiet Riot. The guy is still the best I have ever heard and this "Randy Rhoads Tribute" truly rocks. Sorry everyone, if you never saw the skinny dude with his polka dot bow tie live, this is the best you can do!

Randy Rhoads is the best guitar player in rock that I have ever heard in my life

I'm 26 and play guitar, and I have to say that Rhoads was the best of the best..the only guy that comes close in my opinion is Zakk Wylde.

Dimebag Darrell, Jimi Hendrix, Eddie Van Halen and Stevie Ray Vaugn also come to mind,,,but Rhoads is my favorite..I dont have this book but I have the album..I wish I had the privlidge of seeing him perform live

A Must-Have!

I had this when I was a child (20 years ago) and I learned how to play almost everything in it, as well as how to improvise according to the song's key and play blinding legato runs. I recently bought it again and am digging into this classic once more because it is so worth it.

WE WON'T EVER FORGET RANDY RHOADS!!!!!

His songwriting (yes, Randy's songwriting cause Ozzy hasn't written anything close to what was on 'Blizzard' and 'Diary' since!) was clearly GENIUS!!! Randy's solos challenged your music theory knowlege and technique. Then he would touch your heart too with his SOLO'S. Kind of telling you what kind of person he was!!! A genuine one, a nice one (obviously INTELLIGENT AS WELL). Someone dedicated to music. NO ONE HAS COME CLOSE SINCE. AS A WORKING MUSICIAN IN ANOTHER GENRE I WILL TELL YOU THAT RANDY HAD A FEELING IN HIS PLAYING NO ONE WILL EVER DUPLICATE!!! He took that polka dot flying V and MADE PEOPLE REMEMBER BUDDY GUY!!!! Hell, I bet Chuck Berry is proud of him too!!! DO YOU REALLY KNOW ABOUT GUITAR? DO YOU KNOW THAT CHUCK BERRY IS THE KING OF ROCK AND ROLL!!!! DO YOU KNOW THAT "JOHN LENNON" SAID THAT IF ROCK AND ROLL HAD ANOTHER NAME, IT WOULD BE "CHUCK BERRY"? I JUST LOVE MUSIC PERIOD, I GIVE CREDIT WHERE CREDIT IS DUE.....

MR. RANDALL RHOADS THIS WORLD SORELY MISSES YOU AND YOUR TALENT!!!!

Great for Serious Begginers

I'm 25 and have been playing guitar for about 14yrs. I started out playing electric and was motivated to play like Randy from the start. Before I ever even picked up a guitar I always dreamed and wondered "What if I could sound like that?" refering to Randy on the Tribute album, truley a masterpiece performance/recording. I was young and ambitious and wanted to sound just like him. When I found Wolfe Marshall's transcriptions I fell in love. Marshall was the best for me and my guitar playing developement during those early days because he showed me how to model my playing style after that of Randy's. Through Marshall I learned Randy better than I could ever imagine learning Randy without Marshall. Truley a great book. Now after having impressed many o' college coed and friends with some awsome guitar playing and feel I have Randy & Marshall to thank. Really what come's out in my playing more than even skill (which you will learn) is the feel for the music. There is true feeling in Randy's playing and if you honestly make the effort to learn you can become a really good player because you will feel the music. Sounds wacky but I don't know how else to explain it. You will certainly see smiles on peoples faces when you play not so much because you can play (really good if you study hard) but because people will know you are enjoying yourself pushing yourself emotionally to your limits through your instrument. Randy's inspiration makes that possible ONLY IF YOU PRACTICE AND APPRECIATE HIS STYLE. Good luck to any begginer choosing to take on this book and this masterpiece...take it serious and you'll have something with you for the rest of your life that will make your life that much nicer, guitar skills and guitar heart. Only works if you really feel like you can be a great guitarist...push yourself with this book!

Helpful hint: listen to the album if you get stuck at any point while reading the book and feel like you need clarity at any point during a song. Usually by listening to the record you'll go "Oh that's what marshall meant here". Marshall will tell you and Randy will show you...great way to learn!
