Editorial Reviews

Product Description
'Unsung Heroes of Rock Guitar' is a collection of in-depth Q&A interviews with fifteen of rock music's greatest, most under-rated guitarists. Many of these musicians have achieved worldwide success in the music business as members of famous bands, yet their individual names and faces often go unrecognized. 'Unsung Heroes of Rock Guitar' goes behind the scenes of some of the greatest classic rock music of all time to tell the true stories of bands like Kiss, Bachman Turner Overdrive, Jethro Tull, Kansas, Heart and Yes, from the perspective of the people who lived to tell it all.

About the Author
Sterling Whitaker is a singer, songwriter and music journalist. A veteran of the progressive rock group Roots of Consciousness, he currently records and performs with Beggarz Opera, a Nashville-based acoustic rock duo. In 2003 Whitaker released his first book,'Unsung Heroes of Rock Guitar'. Whitaker's second book, 'The Grand Delusion', is an unauthorized biography of the superstar rock group Styx.
