Featuring over 180 of the world’s greatest guitar superstars, The Illustrated Encyclopaedia of Guitar Heroes is a definitive guide to those guitarists whose talents helped change the face of music forever and touched the lives of millions.
From the heroes of rock – the likes of Hendrix, Clapton, Page and Beck – to classical maestros such as John Williams and Latin legends such as Paco de Lucia, this comprehensive catalogue of guitarists covers a wide range of musical styles. It will allow the reader to discover legendary players from the earliest blues pioneers right up to today’s indie icons and everyone in between. Grouped into seven chapters based on the genre of music each guitarist is most closely associated with, each chapter is then organized chronologically according to the guitarists’ birth dates, making the book easy to navigate.
Written by an expert team of music writers and musicologists, the informative text tells the story of how each of these axe men rose up to stand out from the crown, carving themselves a place in the history books. Learn what inspired them to create the music that lead to their legendary status, how they achieved such greatness and the tools they used to get to the top. Supported by over 400 superb images that bring each page to life and capture the power and emotion behind the music, this encyclopaedia is the ideal book for any aspiring guitar hero and will satisfy even the most die-hard of music fans.
The comprehensive reference section includes an extensive listing of a further 500 or the greatest musicians ever to pick up an axe, recommended further reading and a host of website links, all of which provide a further gateway into the lives of the greatest guitarists the world has ever known.
