Metal is back! Dimebag Darrell is a walking textbook of modern
metal guitar techniques, liberally spraying bone-crushing power
chords, dissonant intervals, tremolo arm insanity, and a shredding
lead voice worthy of the masters. Now all metal guitarists can go
behind the scenes with Dimebag and Pantera. Here, he teaches the
patterns and techniques that have driven Pantera to become one of
the most successful heavy metal bands in rock history. A must-have,
this book will go down in metal history as a classic.

'Dan is a national treasure and one of America s great songwriters.
Elvis Costello. 'Dan s songs were funny, serious, and entertaining,
and the combo of old-timey folk, country, and jazz knocked me out.
Matt Groening, creator of The Simpsons. 'Dan Hicks is like
lightning in a bottle. Bette Midler. Dan Hicks didn t have his
heart set on a career in music. It all just sort of happened to
him. It didn t hurt, of course, that he was in the right place at
the right time San Francisco, 1966 and had a front-row seat for the
birth and death of the counterculture. Among other things, this is
a classic story of the 60s. More importantly, it s a story of
musical genius. By the time the Summer of Love limped to a close in
the fall of 67, Hicks had quit the Charlatans the pioneering
psych-rock band with whom he played the drums and turned to jazz,
the music he d secretly loved all along, as he began building his
own band, the Hot Licks. 'I just started taking ingredients I liked
and putting them together to see what came out, Hicks writes. What
came out was an amazing blend of complex time signatures, unusual
instrumentation, and intricate vocal harmonies that took him to the
top of the 70s rock world but also into a downward spiral of drink
and drug abuse. Emerging from a long wilderness, which he writes
about here with wit and candour, the man described by Tom Waits as
'fly, sly, wily, and dry eventually returned to recording and
performing, making a number of acclaimed albums, including Beatin
The Heat, a set of duets with Waits, Costello, Rickie Lee Jones,
and more. Along the way, his music continued to subtly permeate the
culture, turning up everywhere from The Sopranos to commercials for
Levi s and Bic. Hicks passed away in early 2016, but his music, and
the stories he tells here, remain as fresh and irresistible as
ever. I Scare Myself takes readers on a journey behind the music,
and into the life and mind of the fantastic artist who created it.

Prince, Pink Floyd, Metallica, Toto, James Taylor, Keith
Richards—these stars and thousands of others all owe a debt of
gratitude to Rob Turner who revolutionized the electric guitar and
bass. Chasing Tone tells Rob Turner’s story from humble
beginnings rewiring his father’s transistor radio components to
founding EMG and, finally, to the world’s largest concert stages.
Jim Reilly provides a wealth of fascinating insights by weaving
together many exclusive interviews with top artists and colleagues,
including James Hetfield, Kirk Hammett, and Robert Trujillo of
Metallica; legendary session musician Leland Sklar; Vernon Reid of
Living Colour; Victor Wooten; Béla Fleck; Nili Brosh; Jim Root of
Slipknot; and guitar builders Mike McGuire and John Carruthers.
Along the way, Reilly not only sheds light on the history of the
electric guitar and bass and how EMG pickups forever altered their
course but also explores the elusive relationship between builder
and creator, showing how these artists found their sound. This book
takes a deep dive into the creative process while providing a
history of popular music told from a side of the stage previously
underexplored.

The viola da gamba was a central instrument in European music from
the late 15th century well into the late 18th. In this
comprehensive study, Bettina Hoffmann offers both an introduction
to the instrument -- its construction, technique and history -- for
the non-specialist, interweaving this information with a wealth of
original archival scholarship that experts will relish. The book
begins with a description of the instrument, and here Hoffmann
grapples with the complexity of various names applied to this and
related instruments. Following two chapters on the instrument's
construction and ancestry, the core of the book is given to a
historical and geographical survey of the instrument from its
origins into the classical period. The book closes with a look at
the revival of interest in the 19th and 20th centuries.
