5.0 out of 5 stars A very nice way to know SRV a little better....., July 7, 2001

By	Music mogul (Hollywood) - See all my reviews

This book is a good insight into SRV and his life. It is not full of intimate details, but it does have a lot of information. And, what is really nice about it is that it is information that comes from direct interviews with SRV, himself, and very close friends, band members, musicians and family. There are guitar tips about how SRV played and some guitar "mini" lesson pages. It also contains some great B & W pictures. An over-all great book for the SRV fan! He was the greatest guitarist to ever walk this earth and is sorely missed...the book proves it.
