 Excellent Mar 24, 2008
By Paul Wolfe
I began listening to the guitar playing of Randy Rhoads since 1981. Since that time I've studied everything I could find about his playing. Unfortunately the material has always been focused on his time with Ozzy Osbourne. I have been thinking for years that it'd be nice to see a study on Randy's development as a player and insight into his thought process.
Thanks to Mr. LaFonde, that day is here. This book shows us the building blocks that Randy Rhoads felt were essential to creating your own style as a player. He gives us insight to what Randy was like as a person as well. As I read through this book and played the examples, I could almost hear the voice of Randy Rhoads explaining what to do. I've been playing guitar for 26 years and this book opened up ideas I'd not considered in all these years.
Thank you Mr. LaFonde for sharing a part of your life with us so we can get to know this musical hero that much better.

This is The REAL DEAL For Fans Of RANDY RHOADS!!! Dec 17, 2008
By Loren Krzykowski
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!!!

Lessons with a story Feb 02, 2009
By Christopher M. White
"More Like You Music"
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.

The Rhoadssetta Stone Nov 18, 2009
By J. Fletcher
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!
