British Rock Guitar - The first 50 years, the musicians and their stories

The guitar has become the most emotive musical instrument of the last 50 years of rock and roll. From the early days when wannabee stars fashioned homemade guitars out of old tea chests, to today''s sophisticated instruments the impact has been phenomenal.

Drawing on his own recollections and those of some of the greatest exponents of the rock guitar, from Hank Marvin to Eric Clapton and Brian May, Mo Foster has written the definitive history of the importance of the guitar in the development of British music over the last 50 years.

A renowned bass player, Mo Foster has played with the greats and with their backing and memories has written an insightful, yet passionate and very humorous book. Illustrated by period advertisements, memorabilia, and previously unseen photographs, many from the artist''s private collections.
