Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
This volume is a revised and updated collection of interviews, articles, and rare photos culled from the pages of Guitar Player magazine. The book's two sections, "Acoustic Roots" and "Prime Movers," trace guitar artistry from the acoustic blues of the 1920s through the electric blues of today. Legendary guitarists discuss their musical lives as well as their playing techniques, equipment, and recording histories. This informative book will interest the new generation that has rediscovered this uniquely American musical form. The new edition is expanded from the original 1990 release but not to the extent that libraries should own both. Highly recommended for public libraries and music libraries without the original. --Eric C. Shoaf, Brown Univ. Lib., Providence

5.0 out of 5 stars
Dynamite Interviews with the Greatest Bluesmen,
By snow@ripco.com (Chicago - Home of the Blues) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Blues Guitar: The Men Who Made the Music (Paperback)
Just like having an informal buddy-to-buddy conversation with the stars themselves. Great book. I couldn't put it down. It's a definite for all levels of guitarists. I was inspired. Check out Secrets From The Masters by Don Menn also. Clapton is interviewed, and I really got a feel for where he's coming from as a guitarist. In this case, God isn't perfect. That's how I like the Blues. Try your best every time. Great book.
