Summary: This book is a must read for all guitar players.
Review: This book to a guitar player is essential to an understanding of just where all that virtuosity came from to begin with. In the cases where I've studied a guitarists career extensively, there was still new information, and in cases where my knowledge was sketchy, I was gratified to be able to learn, and learn, and keep on learning. The two authors have presented us with a document that will be invaluable to players and fans alike, and if there's any way to thank them personally, I'd welcome it. One litmus test that I can point to in the book, is that they've not forgotten the contributions of those players who are no longer selling records, and in some cases never sold a pile to begin with. The whole thing shows conscientious research and I compliment the graphic layout as well. Great job!

Summary: The Ultimate Rock Guitar History
Review: With LEGENDS OF ROCK GUITAR, we strove to include not just the major guitarists that shaped rock 'n' roll, but also all the lesser-known masters. There are over 300 players covered in the book, along with extensive discographies and many photos.There's never been a book of this scope on rock guitar ever published before
