Description
"The guitar has held a special place in the hearts of music fans for more than 400 years, and with the introduction of the electric guitar, few instruments have been able to match its widespread appeal or ability to adapt to almost any genre of music. Because of its pivotal role in the development of modern music, a roll call of the icons of the guitar is not only a catalog of technical excellence and brilliant innovation, but also a fascinating insight into a whole spectrum of musical styles - from the sublime virtuosity of classical players such as Andres Segovia and John Williams, through the fluid innovations of jazz masters such as Charlie Christian, John McLaughlin, and Pat Metheny, the the sheer, driving power of rock superstars such as Jimi Hendrix and Eddie Van Halen." - back cover.
