Book Synopsis
The Guitar Story (2nd edition)is the updated and in depth look of the evolution of the guitar, but it is not an attempt to include everything about the guitar or about every guitar ever made. This is the short story, yet it is fully comprehensive. I have stripped the fine print, educated guess work and in endless analysis down to the known facts. Also included are biographies of some of the greatest guitarists to date. A fun read for all. You do not need to be a guitarist to appreciate and enjoy this book. It is an intriguing read for anyone interested in the guitar or music history, as well as a real page turner for our current and future rock guitar heros.
* Did you know that the legendary 18th century violin maker Antonio Stradivarius also made guitars?
* Did you know one of the first electric guitars was called a frying Pan?
