5.0 out of 5 stars Review in Classical Guitar Magazine, August 2001, September 20, 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Classical Guitarists: Conversations (Paperback)
These quotes are from a review by Colin Cooper, Editor of Classical Guitar Magazine, published in the August 2001 issue.

"For those who love the guitar and have more than a passing interest in knowing what motivates a small handful of leading exponents, the book is an excellent read."

"The many insights in the book make it compulsive reading, perhaps even essential..."

"Jim Tosone asks very good questions, and gets very good answers..."

"...the true value of the book...lies in the revelation of character, intellect and philosophy among some of our leading guitarists..."

"I wish this book could be made compulsory reading..."
