rare footage of Randy goofing around

For those who haven't seen it, this clip is quite interesting and also really hits home what kids they are were.

Re: Next issue of Classic Rock mag Randy special!

From the first paragraph I had the feeling it was going to be a really good feature and it certainly was. Loads of new stuff and lovely to see such a mainstream mag in shops all around the UK with Randy's face splashed across it!

Re: Rhoads Documentary

Bernie is as honest as the day is long - he certainly doesn't need that kind of BS.

A lot of rock musicians his age are playing the music they made 30/40 years ago', where as Bernie continues to produce new music and lives in the now - I admire that greatly

Re: polka dot v guitar build

I think the RR Paradox is that if you want to be really like him; you realise (eventually through your love of him) that being like him, truly means being nothing like him!

Re: Is Anyone Feeling Christmas Yet?

Joe, I loved the video - it was fun and also really well played and put together! And yes - I am feeling very full of festive spirit :) Aside from some Christmas recitals (one tonight) which I always thoroughly enjoy; this week's news has made Christmas for Suzie and I. A close friend (and member he...

Re: RR fingernails...

Thanks for all the input guys. The classical vs. flamenco got me thinking. Flamenco guitarist would appear to sporadically strum w/ their fingers and nails. I wonder if they are more improvisational than classical guitarist. In many respects I agree, I have certainly met my fair share of very rigid...

Re: RR fingernails...

There aren't much more things I find more satisfying than hearing something you think is impossible, thinking "How the hell am I going to play this?" and then seeing yourself improve enough to be able to play it. If I ever have a tomb stone, it's going to have "Keep Challenging Yours...

Re: RR fingernails...

Rob, another interesting point (and also in a related thread in the guitar tabs section), is how having your nails shaped, hand position and picking technique for one style, can actually be detrimental to another style... There is a bit of a clash of interests, playing Classical (or Spanish guitar a...
