Hi everyone
Darin (Cableguy) asked me to do this a long time back. It began to grow on me the idea of arranging it for nylon Guitars and I gave him first listen.
It is decicated to all Randy Rhoads fans.
So here it is. I hope you enjoy it

Nah... Sounds great Matt!, I like the arrangement and the sobriety atmosphere you gave it, fits very well! Wish I could play classical like that!

Of all Randy's work, I think it would probably work well.
I think a fantastic arrangement would be for string quartet. There is something about Diary that keeps it's creepy-ness if it is a small ensemble playing it. The danger with huge orchestrations of rock/pop pieces is they seem to lose their original mojo!

Matt, I am in shock from this still! My own path on the instrument has been made more clear by this. I've listened to this like 5 times in a row!! This kind of take on this song never even crossed my mind and I'm glad you did it! Thanks

Thank you for such a warm reception gang!
I just googled the Tales Of The Riverbank and it is strangely comforting.
Ha ha I know all the faults in this, I just was so excited to finish it I just uploaded and took an excited gulp!
Sincerely Thanks again. I am happy you gained pleasure from it.
Matt
