| Totally Guitar is the definitive guide to your favourite instrument: the biggest and most complete book yet in hot playing styles, great gear, and the finest guitar makers. Revel in a vast compendium of six-string information. Let leading specialists teach you the skills you need to play rock, jazz and classical, pass on their understanding of guitar and amplifier sound, help you make the most of your instruments, gear and effects, and reveal the fascinating stories behind guitar makers old and new: from Fender to PRS, Airline to Zemaitis, and Gibson to Parker. This book is an unbeatable resource for both beginners and advanced players. It provides everything you need to know about the world's most influential and popular instrument, in an unrivalled package containing more that 600 fact-filled and colourful pages, with over 2000 photos, 1000 playing tips, and 250 select chords.
Improve your licks and styles as you move deeper into ten essential modern genres: acoustic, rock & pop, blues, country, rock'n'roll, metal, Latin, African, classical, and jazz.
Follow the stories behind more than 100 key electric guitar brands, from Alembic to Zemaitis, and lust over full colour photographs of all the greatest and most desirable models from the 1930s to the 2000s.
Learn how to string, tune, and set up your guitar, learn how to replace a pickup or three, and how to clean, maintain, and store your treasured instrument.
Lift the hood of the amplifiers and effects that shape your sound, and get the lowdown on classic and contemporary tube amps, stacks, solidstate and modelling amps, and a stageful of pedals, racks, and multi-FX.
Speak fluent guitar with Totally Guitar's awesome illustrated glossary, the biggest dictionary of guitar words ever assembled in one place. Now you can know everything there is to know about action, dead string length, harmonics, purfling, tweed, zero frets, and much more. | | |
