Guitar World: March 2006 – Learn to play Crazy Train
March’s Guitar World is out and I’m pretty stoked about this one because it contains a step by step guide to playing Crazy Train. It includes a tab and a video lesson on the CD. I have already pretty much mastered the song. The video doesn’t include all of the little fills and licks, but the tab does a good job at illustrating them, so anyone should be able to learn the song from this lesson. One other thing worth noting is the video of Eric Johnson playing Cliffs of Dover on the CD. I haven’t heard that song for a pretty long time and when I watched the video I melted. It really is an amazing song and is 10 times as amazing when you get to watch him play it.

Well actually, I dont have any issues of this to give out… but you can check out the Guitar World website to see if you can order a back issue.
I am happy someone was willing to finally shed light on this. I have contemplated it many times before.
I very much agree with everything you’ve just written.
