Get a completely new look at guitar legend Eddie Van Halen with
this groundbreaking oral history, composed of more than fifty hours
of interviews with Eddie himself as well as his family, friends,
and colleagues.When rock legend Eddie Van Halen died of cancer on
October 6, 2020, the entire world seemed to stop and grieve. Since
his band Van Halen burst onto the scene with their self-titled
debut album in 1978, Eddie had been hailed as an icon not only to
fans of rock music and heavy metal, but to performers across all
genres and around the world. Van Halen's debut sounded unlike
anything that listeners had heard before and remains a
quintessential rock album of the era. Over the course of more than
four decades, Eddie gained renown for his innovative guitar
playing, and particularly for popularizing the tapping guitar solo
technique. Unfortunately for Eddie and his legions of fans, he died
before he was ever able to put his life down to paper in his own
words, and much of his compelling backstory has remained
elusive-until now. In Eruption, music journalists Brad Tolinski and
Chris Gill share with fans, new and old alike, a candid,
compulsively readable, and definitive oral history of the most
influential rock guitarist since Jimi Hendrix. It is based on more
than 50+ hours of unreleased interviews they recorded with Eddie
Van Halen over the years, most of them conducted at the legendary
5150 studios at Ed's home in Los Angeles. The heart of Eruption is
drawn from these intimate and wide-ranging talks, as well as
conversations with family, friends, and colleagues. In addition to
discussing his greatest triumphs as a groundbreaking musician,
including an unprecedented dive into Van Halen's masterpiece 1984,
the book also takes an unflinching look at Edward's early struggles
as young Dutch immigrant unable to speak the English language,
which resulted in lifelong issues with social anxiety and substance
abuse. Eruption: Conversations with Eddie Van Halen also examines
his brilliance as an inventor who changed the face of guitar
manufacturing.As entertaining as it is revealing, Eruption is the
closest readers will ever get to hearing Eddie's side of the story
when it comes to his extraordinary life.

has spanned over fifty years, touring and recording albums with
stars such as Elton John, Cat Stevens, Family, Willie Nelson, Steve
Harley and Cockney Rebel, Joe Cocker, The Gypsy Kings, and Katie
Melua. However, he is perhaps best known for his forty-year
association with Rod Stewart, not only as his guitarist but also
being best friends and godfathers to each other's children. In his
autobiography Jim Cregan lifts the lid on his extraordinary life,
recounting his experiences with music's biggest stars, from his
first band at the age of 14 playing in youth clubs in Poole to
performing in front of 350,000 people in Rio de Janeiro. In And on
Guitar . . . Cregan holds nothing back: from his early life and
anecdotes about his family to shenanigans on the road and
extraordinary tales of hedonism, love and loss, his stories feature
a Who's Who of music's biggest stars.
Celebrate the world's most seductive instrument. An obsessive,
full-colour gift book, Guitar captures the soul, the significance,
the history, the magic, the raw mojo of the guitar in all of its
beauty and variety. Written by David Schiller, author of Guitars
and the Guitars wall calendar, here are 200 instruments in stunning
detail. Iconic instruments - Leo Fender's history-making
"Broadcaster," Les Paul's log, the Gretsch Country Gentleman, the
trio of Martins (D-18, D-28, OM-28) collected, coveted and also
copied by every important guitar builder since. Historic
instruments - Eric Clapton's Brownie, George Harrison's
hand-painted Rocky, Prince's Yellow Cloud, Willie Nelson's Trigger,
the Hauser that was inextricably bound up with Andres Segovia's
preeminent artistry. Hand-carved archtop jazz guitars, pinnacles of
the luthier's art, from John D'Angelico to Ken Parker. There are
instruments from a new wave of female builders, including Shelley
D. Park, Joshia de Jonge, and Rosie Heydrich of England, with a
guitar she built out of 5,000 year-old wood retrieved from a peat
bog. And quirky, one-of-a-kind guitars, like Juha Ruokangas's
steampunk masterpiece, "Captain Nemo," and Linda Manzer's Pikasso
II built for Pat Metheny - four necks, 72 strings, and a thousand
pounds of pressure. Marrying pure visual pleasure with layers of
information, Guitar is a glorious gift for any guitar lover.
A collection and explanation of many different types of important
progressions for the intermediate and advanced guitarist.
This book assesses the influence and reception of many different
forms of guitar playing upon the classical guitar and more
specifically through the prism of John Williams. Beginning with an
examination of Andres Segovia and his influence upon Williams'
life's work, a further three incisive chapters cover key areas such
as performance, perception, education and construction, considering
social and cultural contexts of the guitar over the past century. A
final chapter on new directions in classical guitar examines the
change in reception of the instrument from the mid-1970s to the
present day, and Williams' impact upon what might be termed
'standard classical guitar repertoire'. With in-depth discussion of
the cultural and perceptual impact of Williams' more daring
crossover projects and numerous musical examples, this is an
informative reference for all classical guitar practitioners, as
well as scholars and researchers of guitar studies, reception
studies, cultural musicology and performance studies. An online
lecture by the author and a transcript of the author's interview
with John Williams are also available as e-resources.
