Ultimate Rhoads

Sept 19th was a great success for our 1st annual "TheCrossRhoads.com" music festival in Detroit. I am sure there are some on this board that made it out. We shot some pro quality video throughout. I thought I would share some of it with the folks here. Special Thanks to Kelly Garni and Kel...

As all the Rhoads Fans here might believe. Show was a great success. We packed the Q&A at motor city guitar then moved the jam down the street. Folks got to come up and play with the band. Song selections were the songs Randy Rhoads and Kelly Garni cut their teeth on growing up. The good news is...

Just confirmed tonight that we will be shooting some pro quality video of the event. I am totally psyched. Kelly Garni and I have been talking about doing something like this for over a year and it will be happening Sept. 19th. It is great to have Kelly Garni and Kelle Rhoads come to the mid-west. M...

Kelly's official statement on people's misunderstandings of the book "This book is not at all what people think it is, it is vastly different from any other book ever written about Randy. It's more my story than his. Growing up and playing with Randy was a very unique experience, one that has ...

I can add a little insight into this. I used to come in for my lessons. I worked at a different music store and at one time had about 40 guitars, For a 19 year old, I had a lot of gear. I was always changing out pickups in various guitars. Randy would often switch guitars with me and let me play his...

Most of the time (7 out of 10 times, for real), I walk into a guitar center, and always go to the acoustic room, within the acoustic room , there is a classical guitar section at the Detroit store (where I live). Within that room, I like to go into it (as it is two levels deep, away from the marshal...

Happy Holidays I have added a couple of free unpublished picture downloads. For those of you who have read the RhoadsScholar book or e-book, I mentioned that I had traded one of my earlier Randy Rhoads lessons (the Am Pentatonic) exercise for a couple of pictures from a student of mine. At the time,...
