Synopsis
The guitar is the iconic instrument of modern popular music. It is portable, it has history, and it will always be hip. But why has the guitar become such a classic? Will Hodgkinson, a wannabe guitar player, whose only experience was an afternoon's bashing on a friend's guitar at the age of sixteen, set out to find out. Along the way he hoped to teach himself a few chords too. His goal was to get good enough to play before a live audience in just six months--even if it threatened to drive his wife and family to the point of insanity. His trip becomes an odyssey: He chats with British folk legend Bert Jansch, ex-Smith's guitarist Johnny Marr, and reclusive folk guitar legend Davey Graham, as well as Sufjan Stevens, PJ Harvey, and Cat Power's chanteuse Chan Marshall. He travels to America and with a hurricane brewing visits Roger McGuinn from the Byrds. He travels to the Deep South, looking for the spirit of Robert Johnson, and drops in on T-Model Ford, an old bluesman living in Mississippi. Gloriously readable and highly amusing, Guitar Man is classic obsessional nonfiction for a nation of guitar freaks., The guitar is the iconic instrument of modern popular music.

- i***m (160)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseThe estimated delivery date was way off as I didn’t receive my item until 2 weeks later. I asked to cancel my order as dispatch was taking too long which the seller rejected even though I didn’t get a dispatch notification until several days after the request. The customer service comes across as scripted and it takes ages to get a response. Not a good experience, I’m afraid. I won’t be using this store again.
