Product Description
Product Description
This exciting book from the editors of Guitar World is a treasure trove for any guitarist. Featuring electrifying profiles of everyone from hard rock gods (Wes Borland, Dimebag Darrell, Tony Iommi) to British giants (Eric Clapton, Jimmy Page, even Nigel Tufnel) to trailblazing bluesmen (John Lee Hooker, Reverend Gary Davis) to country gents (Clarence White, Albert Lee) to the founding fathers (Chuck Berry, Dick Dale) as well as jazzmen, progressive rockers, punks and rockabilly superstars, Guitar World's 100 Greatest Guitarists puts all these inspiring masters at your fingertips. But the fun doesn't stop there. Guitar World has also assembled the riveting stories behind the 100 greatest guitar solos. You know them note-for-note, from David Gilmour's transcendent phrasing in "Comfortably Numb" to Jimi Hendrix's rich notes in "Little Wing" to Kurt Cobain's unforgettable melodic turns in "Smells Like Teen Spirit," and now you can get the inside stories of how these magic moments were captured for all time. Rounding off the collection is bonus material such as a lesson with Metallica's Kirk Hammet, a guide to the 12 greatest guitar tones, and 25 guitar masters weighing in on their favorite solos.

Voting produces a list of spectacular musicians, and while You might not agree with all of the choices, there's no arguing all of them can rip some very hot licks.

Terrible...focuses on Freaky, Simpleton Rock Players
1 Feb 2007
Format:Paperback
What's most conspicuous about a book that purports to highlight the 100 greatest guitarists of all time is the long list of superb guitarists that are excluded, including the likes of Barney Kessel, Herb Ellis, Joe Pass, Charlie Christian, Django Reinhardt, Andre Segovia, Julian Breem, etc. Any book on "great" guitarists, let alone the 100 greatest, which doesn't include the inimitable talents of the world's renown jazz and classical guitarists is vacuous. All this book does is cater to the rock crowd and their three chord, twelve barre playing. John Fogerty in a book about great guitarists? What a joke! It is not worth your time or money.
