[Bill Keithler · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is a great book for aspiring, practicing and accomplished guitarists alike. All but a few of these interviews are enlightening and inspirational. Even players whose music does not float my boat offered valuable insights into their art, their techniques and help one as both a play and an appreciator of music. Most of the interviews were done and originally published in the 1980's but the content is essentially timeless. The book is out of print but can still be found at various on line sellers (albeit sometimes at exorbitant prices).

A good book for those who don't have access to the original articles in "Guitar Player Magazine". Covers a lot of different players and styles. Lots of information for the aspiring guitarist.
