Started ib11th grade for one year. Started seriously in 76, played accross the country for a year with a guy who had no legs, no left arm, and no baby finger on his right hand. He put the head of the guitar to his right and with his pointing finger he plucked the strings and with his middle finger and his ring finger he played notes. I played with an agent for a . Then I went to Dublin for a few years and played with an agent for a few more years. Then I went to Nashville and guit for 18 yrs. Now I'm back in Tucson and I have been playing for 8 years.

Great interview. I've been playing my Blue Chip for eight years now and I love it. You asked about how to get started and I was talking to a guy about what he did for a living. Thats always a great start. He was a window washer of peoples homes. I found out all I could and started the next day. When my agent sent me out of town for a week, I could rescedual and not have to find a new job. I did that for 36 years.

As an artist myself, I can see Randy is putting his entire heart and soul into this guitar. He might have trained as a classical player but he rocketed to outer space as a lead rock guitarist. No one else matches or outshines Randy Rhoads. Miss you.
