1.0 out of 5 stars The Crazy Train Tab in This Book is Wrong, April 17, 2011

I got the Japanese tab book of some of Ozzy's stuff in the 1980's (now out of print) and that is how I learned to play Crazy Train. Unfortunately, in this book, they not only got one of the iconic metal riffs wrong, but the tab itself is a really dumbed down version of the Japanese tab and therefore there are significant differences in how it is actually played and how this book claims it is.

Just another sad effort from our cultural corporate masters, which is a highfalutin' way of saying this is a ripoff (other than getting the disk to play along to). So if you want to learn how to play Crazy Train go to You Tube and check out the Lessons from the Can, where they put up correct tabs for the main riff and do both real time and slowed down playing demos.

Just as general information, if you're in Japan, go to the used book stores in Kanda, Tokyo and look for the Shinko Music Heavy Metal series of books, this one being of Randy Rhoads. There are some great pictures in it, a neat bio and blurbs discussing how the songs should be played (in Japanese, though).

The song list for the Japanese book (ISBN 4-401-14093-1) is:

S.A.T.O.
Over the Mountain
Flying High Again
I Don't Know
Crazy Train
Dee
Mr. Crowley
Steal Away (The Night)

The only reason I got The Ultimate Ozzy Osbourne was for Bark at the Moon, Miracle Man and Rock N' Roll Rebel plus the disk since I had never learned those. I just hope those tabs are more accurate than the one for Crazy Train is.

Well, the cd is just a recording. Which is not why I bought this product.
