Publisher's Summary

Whether it is a beautiful and classic model or an unglamorous and inexpensive starter instrument, a musician's first guitar can be the catalyst that motivates a lifelong passion. This audiobook contains interviews with 70 of the world's most well-known guitarists across musical genres and playing styles to discover how their love of the instrument compelled them to pursue music as a career. These guitar icons reveal how they got their first instrument, the music they loved, and their heroes and inspirations. With an impressive list of subjects - including Dick Dale, Melissa Etheridge, Jimmy Page, Les Paul, and Carlos Santana - as well guitar legends as Alex Lifeson, Joe Satriani, and Jimmie Vaughan, this book has appeal for guitar heroes and non-musicians alike.

Listen if you like guitar. Narrators could’ve been a lot better.

Great stories in this book. Really I would advise you to read the text version unless you’re just committed to the audiobook form. With the exception of Ralph Lister the narrators don’t really fit the content and sound very forced, IMO. Still definitely worth a listen though.
