woot i love this song, i knew how to play it b4 this but w/e we should a tabs section.

use the "insert tab" button for tabs.

Cool, nice work m8. That is kinda perfect for finger training :P. Im not sure, but I heard that many of todays metal guitarists keep that album one of best influences on metal playing.

randy rhoads acctually stole this/borrowed it.

From whom?

leo brouwer,



same exact chords, i am a huge randy fan so if any 1 wants to know anything bout him i prob know it.

@EMB, same here buddy favorite guitarist

yes.. but i know everything bout him...im a freak fan...id kill to meet him...i happen to think he has one of the greatest minds musically ever. he is a genius. i know personal facts about him, liked his finger nails long, liked skinned chicken, polka dots, bow ties...need i go on? im a huge fan..soooo huge lol.

That is outstanding. Exact same chords. Cool stuff emb.

np, btw he also liked pachelbel, c.p.e bach, and cavantina.

i personally dont like that piece

@EMB, i know that stuff too, like he was in the band Quiet Riot with his long time buddy Kelly Garni. When Garni got kicked out Randy quit also. they had a fight and one of Randy's long fingernails fell off. Garni has this fingernail to this day.

Also Garni and Randy had secret messages when they were kids, for example Randy would adress Garni as Kellogg. and the word "bone" had to do with anything about sex. thats where the song "No Bone Movies" came from.

Haha. Cool. Any other odd facts?

yes, well stuff that i know, randy had a huge fear of flight which puzzels every randy fan why he flew that plane before he died...he played in other bands like the ***, and violet fox named after his moms middle name, he started at 7, really only played chords, mom then wanted him to take piano lessons, didnt go too well, continued again at 12. got his first electric guitar then the hollow body one. randy didnt leave b/c of garni he left for ozzy, when ozzy hired him, he left quiet riot. garni was shortly replaced by rudy sarzo who also toured with ozzy. bob daisly wrote all the lyrics for ozzy songs. randy leared in his moms music shop then taught private lessons when he was older. anything else or should i make a novel, the rhoads story.

this songs is awesome... so is "you can't kill rock and roll"
