I buy this every year.An excellent tool for anybody buying a used instrument,also a way of valuing what you alseady have.Will prevent overpaying on ebay where pricing can be erratic due to over enthusiastic bidders.I would very much like to see pricing for the excellent Japanese and Korean guitars as i believe they will become very desirable as time goes on,but for now,this book is strongly recommended.

The Complete History of Guitar World: 30 Years of Music, Magic, and Six-String Mayhembest

The Complete History of Guitar World: 30 Years of Music, Magic, and Six-String Mayhem

Product Description

For 30 years, Guitar World magazine has served as North America's leading publication for rock guitarists - and with more than 325 issues under its belt, the world's bestselling guitar magazine is showing no signs of slowing down. In this extraordinary book, the complete history of Guitar World is chronicled - from July 1980, when the very first issue, which featured Johnny Winter on its cover, took the guitar-playing community by storm, to issues from 2010 featuring the likes of Jimi Hendrix, John Mayer, Keith Richards, and many other guitar icons. Frank Zappa, Eddie Van Halen, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Kurt Cobain, Jimmy Page, and Eric Clapton are just some of the artists who have sat down with Guitar World over the years: the full transcripts of these legendary, revealing interviews are here. This lavishly illustrated edition takes you behind the scenes of such monumental events as Nirvana's Unplugged performance, Stevie Ray Vaughan's funeral, and the making of Led Zeppelin IV, and includes Guitar World's great dual interviews: Jimmy Page and Jeff Beck, Tony Iommi and James Hetfield, Steve Vai and Joe Satriani, and more. Rock music has gone through many changes since 1980 - bands have come and gone, musical styles have shifted dramatically, heroes have fallen - and through it all, Guitar World has been there, reporting on the events of the day and interviewing the musicians who keep the genre alive. It's all here, in The Complete History of Guitar World.

          4.0 out of 5 stars Real country blues, as taught by a master player, January 14, 2005
          By 
          John Ford (Indiana, PA USA) - See all my reviews
          (REAL NAME)   
          Like a lot of people, I want to play guitar, especially acoustic blues a la John Hurt, Gary Davis, Blind Boy Fuller, etc., etc. Like a lot of people, I own a number of "How to play ..." books. But one thing I'm finally beginning to learn is that NO BOOK will teach you to play if you don't practice regularly.

          Having said that, this book covers a range of traditional songs - Sugar Babe, Crow Jane, etc. - and some James' originals, which will increase your mastery of the instrument - IF you practice regularly. He starts with simple alternating bass, and progresses from there. At (what seems to me) appropriate times, he introduces hammer-ons and pull offs, and string dampening. If I can ever progress enough to the last few pieces, I'm pretty sure I'll sound pretty good. Heck, I already sound a LOT better than when I bought the book. (Although that's not really very much of a recommendation.) Certainly, I've had lots of fun trying to master each piece.

          This review is from: Roots & Blues Fingerstyle Guitar Book/CD (String Letter Publishing) (Acoustic Guitar) (Acoustic Guitar Private Lessons) (Paperback)
          I will first echo the previous reviews by saying, "You got that right!" Steve is an amazing player and a great teacher. He is the director of the Roots & Blues Workshop at the Kerrville Folk Festival. In one of his sessions this year he walked a group of us through the Sam McGee finger buster "Railroad Blues." Some in that workshop were experienced and some were new to finger picking but all left the 3-hour session able to play the toughest parts of Railroad Blues to some degree. Steve added to the class by sharing the details of his first meeting with Sam McGee. Imagine being introduced to one of your heroes with "Steve's a big fan of yours" only to hear the reply, "I don't know if I'm a big fan of his - I haven't heard him pick yet" and be handed a guitar. How's that for pressure? Steve's playing, his songwriting, and his stories are the real thing because Steve is the real thing.

          This book isn't for beginners, i.e., those that have never played fingerstyle... Read more

          Steve is the real thing. A blues guitarist, writer, teacher who literally lived with some of the legends of roots blues and they taught him their licks. He teaches a week-long class at the Kerrville Folk Festival that is well worth the price. Go if you can. Hell, go even if you can't afford it--you can't afford not to.
