Legends of Rock Guitar by Pete Prown and HP Newquist

Over 300 major rock guitar figures are examined in a strong coverage which examines both the playing styles and evolution of rock guitar. This blends a cultural and social history of rock music in general with a more in-depth survey of styles and musical genres, creating a colorful survey of rock music with more musical depth and background than competing titles offer.
