In this lively collection of interviews, storied music writer Jas
Obrecht presents a celebration of the world's most popular
instrument as seen through the words, lives, and artistry of some
of its most beloved players. Readers will read--and hear--accounts
of the first guitarists on record, pioneering bluesmen, gospel
greats, jazz innovators, country pickers, rocking rebels,
psychedelic shape-shifters, singer-songwriters, and other movers
and shakers. In their own words, these guitar players reveal how
they found their inspirations, mastered their instruments, crafted
classic songs, and created enduring solos. Also included is a CD of
never-before-heard moments from Obrecht's insightful interviews
with these guitar greats. Highlights include Nick Lucas's
recollections of waxing the first noteworthy guitar records; Ry
Cooder's exploration of prewar blues musicians; Carole Kaye and
Ricky Nelson on the early years of rock and roll; Stevie Ray
Vaughan on Jimi Hendrix; Gregg Allman on his brother, Duane Allman;
Carlos Santana, Eric Johnson, and Pops Staples on spirituality in
music; Jerry Garcia, Neil Young, and Tom Petty on songwriting and
creativity; and early interviews with Eddie Van Halen, Joe
Satriani, and Ben Harper.
