Masters of Rock Guitar

by Ernesto Assante and Adrian Belew

A richly illustrated homage to the world’s greatest rock guitar player.

Try to imagine a world with no guitars. Neither blues, nor flamenco or rock. The guitar has always been a protagonist of extraordinary pages of jazz history, it was the queen of folk and blues, and in its electric embodiment, it was the basic stone of rock’n’roll. We want to celebrate the electric guitar myth and legend, that extraordinary instrument that turned into a key to open the doors of sensation, creativity and of life itself. Lots of figures have contributed to this history: legendary musicians as Chuck berry, B.B. King, Frank Zappa, Jimmy Page, Syd Barret, David Gilmour, George Harrison, Brian May, Eric Clapton, Martin Barre, Carlos Santana, Mark Knopfler, Ben Harper e above all Jimi Hendrix. This volume is devoted to guitars and to the rock stars who have made use of them. A handsomely illustrated tribute to the instruments that have earned these exemplary guitarists their reputations as some of the greatest musicians of all time, this volume will strike a chord with music enthusiast of all ages.
