Buy The Guitar Player Book - The Ultimate Resource for Guitarists

Over All Rating Reviews :

I own Secrets from the Masters, a previous book filled with interviews with great players and it rocks. I thought Guitar Player Book was going to be similar, and although it is, I found it a little lacking in that respect.

Dont get me wrong, it has great texts from Hendrix to Segovia and his hate for the electric guitar, and it ranges from you guessed it, 1966 to 2006. But I found some of the material maybe a little eclectic, maybe in their attempt to present variety, we got a headless collage of pretty short, one page interviews. Some of the interviews are just getting on with the talk, and then are suddenly finished, leaving you wanting to know more from the artist.

Some artists are missing, like Robert Cray (how?!) and some less unknown players are featured.

It's no secret that although versatile, Guitar Players is aimed for the elite of players (The ones that can sight read) and you'll find yourself skipping the pages if you cant read notes, specially Frank Zappa's colum from the 80's. All other columns and tips are pretty much the same, and a CD would've been a great addition. (No, I'm not learning to read, I'd rather spend that time playing)

The section on most famous pedal effects is great (Distorto!) and there are some valuable tips from players to further your technique of the instrument.

In all, a very nice book for those that have been fans of the magazine, or those that like me bought it from time to time.
