 The Rhoadssetta Stone Nov 18, 2009
One of the lines in this book captures some heavy thought: few players attain the level of musicianship Randy did. It's no coincidence he played guitar just about all the time, either. It may have helped that he was gifted with brilliance beyond his young years to deduce the principles laid out in this book. That said, don't be frightened! When you get down into it, it's pretty straightforward. The blues is at the heart of rock and roll, and that's what this technical package is all about, and then some. It's also the best streamlining of divergent material I've seen yet. Randy had a talent for consolidating information into a cohesive whole. Experienced players will benefit most, but I think you could pick it up from zero as well. Now I can't wait for the movie. Dust off your Ozzy and Quiet Riot records!

Lessons with a story Feb 02, 2009
What I love about this book is the way Bob weaves his own personal journey through the lessons he learned from Randy. The title really captures it, "Rhoads Scholar." You will feel Bob's renewed passion for life and music and learn from one not only the greatest guitar players but an amazing teacher of the instrument as well. This book has made me a better guitar player.

This is The REAL DEAL For Fans Of RANDY RHOADS!!! Dec 17, 2008
I ordered this book hoping for a little more insight on Randy Rhoads, but was amazed with the amount of NEW Light Randy's Teachings sheds on understanding the guitar. This is all told thru one of Randy's Private Lesson Students. You not only get an understanding for his personality and dedication as a musician, you also get Randy's Hand Written lesson plans. As a guitar teacher myself, I found many of Randy's Lessons to be refreshing and another piece of the puzzle Rhoads fans would consider a MUST HAVE! Robert Lafond Jr. Does a fine job of revealing the excellent teacher, musician and human being Randy Rhoads will always be remembered
for. Just get the book already!!!

 Not what I was hoping for Nov 22, 2008
I got the email pdf version, which is supposidly the same thing as this book. The first half of the book is just blabbing about the author's life and doesn't present lessons. The 'added bonus' is bogus, it's been like a year and there are no additional lessons online.
If I showed this to my students, they would be confused. They read linear music, and this is good for hand positions and for people who understand movable chords and scales. At least it's just 10 dollars.
Now if someone could go and collect many many lessons from many students, I'd pay good money for that.
