Not too Bad
ok, this book is allright as a learning tool, but if you really want to see Randy Rhodes incredible style and depth get the live book, it includes many classics including a rare version of Dee. So if your a beginner then go for this book. Not too many mistakes, but if your more advanced, go for the live.

Randy Rhoads Lives Again
If you're a Randy Rhoads fan, this is a great book! I thoroughly enjoyed the entire book and will hopefully manage to get through it one day!

Good Book
Pros: The Cd has very good slowed down examples and this isnt a book that ignores the solos. In fact it has some really rather difficult solos in it and doesnt skimp or try and cheat you on those. As for the guy that called this book a beginners book below me, he's a big shot and this is not a beginners book at all. The cd has a great backing band as well. If your looking to really learn some of Randy's solos and riffs this is a great book. Cons: Transcriptions are 99% accurate and it doesnt really matter that they arent perfect because what is there is suitable for learning randies techniques.

Great Book
I got the most of of this book. This book has really a great break of Randy Rhoad's style. He was one of the most influential guitar players I've heard before in my life. By reading this and studying this you really gain a vast knowledge of Randy's style. I'd recommend this book to anyone who loves Ozzy and Randy Rhoads.

Ok book but needs work
Well, I've noticed a trend in Tab books as of late, It seems that the Transcribers try and make the most difficult way to play a simple riff or they completely miss the mark and dont transcribe the song right. I noticed alot of errors in this book, some of the lead lines and solos are alot harder to play in this book than they really are. Mostly the errors I noticed were in Mr Crowley, Revelation mother Earth and Crazy Train. Its still a good book but I wish they wouldve got Wolf Marshall to transcribe it, Hes the king of accurate transcribers. I also have the Ozzy Signature licks book and I rate it higher than this one.
