    5.0 out of 5 stars Great collection, August 9, 2008

    For the price, this collection of articles from Guitar Player magazine, is a great deal. I used to think Guitar Player magazine was just for kids. After coming back to guitar playing after 15 years, I have been surprised (pleasantly) by the high quality of the articles. Reading these articles is both informative and inspirational. I have been exposed to new styles, techniques, and players. Plus, my knowledge of guitar playing and the world of guitar has expanded.

    Note that this book is perhaps best suited for those who play rock, blues and metal, and perhaps less oriented towards jazz, country, and other styles. If that fits you, it's worth checking this out. Happy playing!

    4.0 out of 5 stars a good starter, July 6, 2010

    Overall ,it is a good book. When they mention all goodies in the blurb, keep in mind the interviews I think are not complete. For example, in the interview with Jerry Garcia having seen the original issue I think it is a bit abridged.

    I would say is a really nice book to browse through leisurely rather than be treated as a reference book.
