Okay let me see what I have got here today?:
"Play Rock Guitar Today" sounds promising eh?
It was published in 1979 and it shows
but having said that I thought some of you may enjoy the pictures and the songs.
The book itself is from one of my students, he is fifteen, and I am sure it is one of the books his dad used, as his dad is in his late 40s and plays guitar and bass as well.
First some of the pictures for you:
there is Ron Wood,Jeff Beck, Peter Frampton, J.J. Cale,Mike Oldfield, Tom Petty, there is Jimmy Page with a beard! Marc Bolan, Mick and Keith[they sure would'nt miss our glimmer twins eh?] Justin Haywood of the Moody Blues, Ritchie Blackmore, Steve Hillage in one of his more sober and inspired moments, Ted Nugent, Frank Zappa and Pete Townsend sporting long hair.
All the usuall suspects eh? But nice to look at these picture, even if you do not care that much for picking up the guitar, you may still like watching the pictures. They tell so much from a time which is gone [snif]
Along with the players there are pictures of amps[Labseries] and effect units [one being a lovely echoplex and the other two of a Maestro Fuzz and Phaser] Again if you do not care that much for playing, just looking at the effects may make you want to pick up a guitar and make some noise.................
As it is I have not that much time today, tomorrow I will give some quotes from the book, just to show the kind of language people used in those days [heh it is not all that long ago, I was just 11 at the time the book came out, and I can still remember some of the charthits from 1979, one of them being "I was made for Loving You Baby" from Kiss, used to like the solo, thought at the time it really sounded evil and dark, these days I percieve it differently, but that is time eh?]
Okay in the meantime while I am away, post some of your favourite books from the past, anything we can laugh about or perhaps something which is ace just for its educational purposes.
Cheers
Eddie
