Re: If you are passionate about guitar

Thanks for the tip. Never heard of this book, but will have to look it up. The two guitar books I drool through the most are:

Jonathan Kellerman's "With Strings Attached"  (http://www.amazon.ca/With-Strings-Attac … 0345499786)

and

Steve Howe's "The Steve Howe Guitar Collection"  (http://www.amazon.ca/The-Steve-Howe-Gui … 0879302909)

A lot of history in these two books, and worthy of re-visiting repeatedly.
