Location: Capital District, NY, USA Minor Outlying Islands | I was wondering if you guys could recommend any good guitar / music books, something to take your mind off the troubles of the day ...
I've read the Ovation History Book, Deniers Guitar books, Erlwine's Repair Guides ...
So I guess I'm looking for something with some history in it, talks about music and guitar, maybe other gear ...
Any recommendations much appreciated.
Thanks |

Location: Chicago | "Zen Guitar" by Philip Tishio Sudo. Very cool. Nothing technical, more the "philosophy" of the instrument, playing, and being in the musical moment. Full of nice quotes from the greats. |
