5.0 out of 5 stars
Inspirational book from a REAL guitar player,
By Guitarman1968 "guitarist / composer" (South Australia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Tommy Tedesco - Confessions of a Guitar Player (Paperback)
..great book. I teach / play guitar for a living, and if you're serious about the guitar as a career - this book provides endless inspiration - it did for me anyway! Tommy's matter-of-fact story telling style is refreshing - and he certainly cuts straight to the chase. The thing I realised most when reading this book (and it made me re-evaluate my career)was that professional guitarists are in this bus. to make money..and what's wrong with that? He has so many great stories of studio goings-on - but this book isn't a tell-all about celebrities - just a no-bull**** account of what it's like to be studio guitarist, from someone who worked thru the 'golden' age of pop / rock. Awesome stuff, and thanks for sharing, Tommy!! Ken Cooke.

This review is from: Tommy Tedesco - Confessions of a Guitar Player (Paperback)
Lots of spelling errors mar this otherwise interesting collection of studio stories. Lenny Bruce's name is spelled Lennie and then once sentence later it's spelled properly. Mike Nesmith of the Monkees is constantly referred to as "Nesbett". Maybe that's what Tedesco remember's his name as, yet it would be better if there was a 'sic' after the name.
