Book excerpt: The guitar is the most popular instrument in the world, with well over two million sold every year in the US and Europe. Every teenager dreams, at some point, of being a guitar hero, while the number of adults who take up this relaxing and rewarding hobby continues to rise each year. Where do they all begin? Previously, the effort required several different resources-but now it's all here in one place, in The Rough Guide to Guitar. Written by Dave Hunter, a one of the world's leading guitar authors, The Rough Guide to Guitar covers everything the new player needs to know to get started successfully, and plenty of information that will benefit the novice and experienced guitarist, too. From a thorough analysis of the acoustic and electric instruments and their related equipment, to basic and advanced playing techniques in a range of styles, to the home recording techniques and putting a band together, The Rough Guide to Guitar covers it all, in concise and authoritative language that players of all ages and levels can absorb and appreciate.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Rough Guide to Jimi Hendrix is a thorough reference book about the life and music of the greatest rock guitarist of all time. It covers all the key events throughout his metamorphosis; from a misfit youngster growing up in poverty to his rise to international stardom, and from his days as a starving backup musician in the early 1960s to his triumphant appearances at the Monterey Pop and Woodstock rock festivals, not to mention his mysterious and sordid death in 1970. Special chapters are devoted to vivid description and critical evaluation of all his important studio and live albums and best thirty songs, as well as all major live and documentary Hendrix videos; his myriad musical influences from blues, soul, rock, and jazz; Hendrix-related sites and shrines; and his spectacular arsenal of guitar techniques and effects. Also including special features on overlooked aspects of his art ranging from his love of Bob Dylan's music to his relationship with the Black Power movement, The Rough Guide to Jimi Hendrix documents all dimensions of this one-of-a-kind musical genius.
