Randy Lesson tape

I bought this a while back. It was advertised in the back of a hit parader or circus magazine. There is some cool stuff on there, especially this one bluesy lick that randy shreds on, for lack of a better term. Anybody know the origin, date or who's lesson? I'm assuming a few people have or heard this one. I would upload but I'm not sure how. I don't even know how to upload a song to youtube or Fandalism!

Would be nice if people can spell Randy's surname correct (referring to the label on the tape).....

I think your best bet would be to put it on YouTube

I have that tape! Obtained it in exactly the same way, too.
In the May 1992 issue of
Guitar World, there was a written lesson based on that tape. I'm sure there was a Power Tab of it as well, or maybe I Power Tabbed it? I can't recall, but it's definitely a cool tape. Mine wasn't great quality, so it was hard to hear Randy speaking, but the playing is amazing.
Here's the extent of my Randy collection:

A-ha! Sweet. From what I remember it had a lot of hiss like a tape of a tape of a tape, etc. Can you post the audio? If you can't, I will try to figure out how to post the audio (possibly on youtube) in the next few days/weeks...

I was just looking through my hard drive and found the audio from that tape, yeah, LOTS of hiss
It's 41 minutes long so I'll have to cut it into 10 minute pieces for YouTube and add a picture or something. I'll see what I can do this evening.

Quite a few different ones by now!
Sorry for not getting this uploaded yet, I'd say reality got in the way, but, in truth, I simply spaced it! Hopefully I'll get to it soon...

Is this part of it? I remember there being a few cool, fast descending licks.
