This review is from: Ozzy Osbourne - Diary of a Madman (Guitar Personality) (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 review is from: Ozzy Osbourne - Diary of a Madman (Guitar Personality) (Paperback)
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.

This review is from: Ozzy Osbourne - Diary of a Madman (Guitar Personality) (Paperback)
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.
