Well i was really glad to finally get my hands on this,finally a deeper insight into how Randy Rhoads played.
Alot of books just do his more famous solo's and not all the stuff i was interested in,but this has all the tracks on this amazing album.
Interesting to see how he layered stuff and all of the riffs that he played,it truly made me a happy chap. The transcriptions are very good, it's a cherry lane book which usually guarentees a high quality and easy to read Tablature.
Randy had such a great style and yes it's very old and many have gone more over the top than Randy ever did,but he was with us for such a short time and really didn't get an opportunity to show us his full potential and what he would grow into... a sad loss to the world but this is a great book to get under more of his harder to trak down stuff like S.A.T.O. and the transcriptions run on well into to the fade outs.. sheer quality and i love it.
A great tribute to a sorely missed guitar legend.

I purchased this item as part of a 2009 christmas present. When it was eventually opened on Christmas day I found it not to be what I expected to be - oops! Nowhere on the advert for the book can I see that it is a TABLATURE book (even when I enlarged the image I could not see that in the top right hand corner it stated Tablature), and for those less initiated that means that it is for guitar players and it has all the chords in it. Not a lot of good for those who do not have or do not play the guitar. For those that do, it is a very good book, but me, I found out too late, so don't do the same thing.

Correction
16 May 2006
By Paul W. Burgess II
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
Unlike the only other reviewer of this product, who i think may have been mistaken about which product he was reviewing, I found nothing at all humorous about this MUSIC BOOK. It is an impressively accurate songbook of the album Diary of a Madman. Randy Rhoads, the guitarist on Ozzy's first two solo albums (the other one being Blizzard of Ozz) was quite a virtuoso and his style influenced many as he successully wove his classical influences into Heavy Metal. Along with Eddie Van Halen, he is one of the first guitarists to popularize the two-hand tapping technique, as most famously demonstrated on Blizzard's "Crazy Train" or as transcribed here in the solo to "Flying High Again." It is not possible to transcribe every single sound evoked from the guitar (on "Believer" it notes that random scrapes and various sounds are produced), but this book comes as close as can be expected. Students of classical guitar will find the title track to be of interest for study as it is the most classically influenced of Rhoads's work with Ozzy.

This is indeed one of the most accurate "note-to-note" transcriptions of the Ozzy Osbourne and Randy Rhoads songs from "Diary of a Madman"
Don't even consider buying any other book if looking for transcriptions from "Diary of a Madman". Most others are nowhere near as thorough as this is.

Ozzy Osbourne-Diary of a Madman (Guitar Personality)

I don't know why I waited so long to get this book. The tabs are clear and accurate. The music itself is by far one of Ozzy Osbourne's best efforts. This in part is due to the legendary Randy Rhoads. In my opinion, he was one of the finest guitar players the world has ever seen. His technique and musical ideas are masterful and unique. He always played what was right for the song and he was always melodic. His music and legacy will live on forever.
