I got this to use with my students and have found it very well done (as all the books in this series have been). You--or your students--can really benefit from the Slow-Downer function on the CD as it maintains correct pitch. You can also loop a section for practicing timing and phrasing. Very useful!The transcriptions are accurate and well laid out on the page. I've seen some unusual transcriptions of Randy Rhoads' guitar work over the years, especially of one part of the "Flying High Again" solo. This book looks quite accurate to me. The CD sounds fantastic too.I don't understand the negative reviews of this book. The publisher got it right. If there is anything to be critical about, it may be that you didn't get a favorite song included. Oh well. Maybe other reviewers thought they were getting original studio recordings from the early '80s. (Maybe they thought Ozzy would be singing on this:That's not what this series is about. They're professional recordings for instructional purposes.) These recordings and transcriptions are as good as you're going to find.Sure do wish I had materials like this when I was a kid.
This CD/Book combo is well worth the money. Each song comes with 2 tracks - One with all instruments (including guitar; no vocals) and a second backing track where you provide the guitar. Even though Ozzy isn't necessarily the greatest singer, I do miss his familiar voice on the tracks. P.S., check out "Shutup & Play - Guitar Tutorials" on YouTube for a video to accompany "Crazy Train."
Amazing band to play your favorite ozzy tracks. It's a fun way to play these ozzy classics. Sounds amazing running through my stereo. Tab seems pretty accurate too. Highly recommend this to a friend
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 MountainFlying High AgainI Don't KnowCrazy TrainDeeMr. CrowleySteal 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.
