No single instrument defines rock and roll as well as the guitar. Maybe it is the way that the instrument is held so close to you that causes the inner most thoughts and emotions to come through the music. However it happens, popular music would not be the same without the contributions that have been made by this instrument and its players.
This folio collects some of the most influential guitar heros of the 20th century and brings to you the songs that showed their mastery. From the blues of Robert Johnson to the guitar licks from Scotty Moore on Elvis's "Mystery Train" to the pyrotechnics of Jimmy Hendrix and the blues-rock of Stevie Ray Vaughn, this collection of songs includes note-for-note transcriptions with guitar tab and all the lyrics. This is one no guitarist should be without. |  | |
