Guitar Tips You Should Have Been Told
(Paperback)
by David Mead
|
Review:
I wish I had this book when I started learning
to play guitar in the late 70's, I would
have made much faster progress. This book
tells you what you need to learn. It also
gives you a pretty good indication of how
much emphasis should be placed on the various
aspects of playing. It also talks about
the oft overlooked non-technical aspects
that are an essential part of great music.
The author really has cut to the chase here

Guitar
Cultures (Hardcover)
by Andy Bennett (Editor), Kevin Dawe
(Editor)
|
Description:
The guitar is one of the most evocative
instruments in the world. It features in
music as diverse as heavy metal, blues,
indie and flamenco, as well as Indian classical
music, village music making in Papua New
Guinea and carnival in Brazil. This cross-cultural
popularity makes it a unique starting point
for understanding social interaction and
cultural identity. Guitar music can be sexy,
soothing, melancholy or manic, but it nearly
always brings people together and creates
a common ground even if this common ground
is often the site of intense social, cultural,
economic and political negotiation and contest.This
book explores how people use guitars and
guitar music in various nations across the
world as a musical and symbolic basis for
creating identities. In a world where place
and space are challenged by the pace of
globalization, the guitar provides images,
sounds and styles that help define new cultural
territories. Guitars play a crucial part
in shaping the commercial music industry,
educational music programmes, and local
community atmosphere. Live or recorded,
guitar music and performance, collecting
and manufacture sustains a network of varied
social exchanges that constitute a distinct
cultural milieu.Representing the first sustained
analysis of what the guitar means to artists
and audiences world-wide, this book demonstrates
that this seemingly simple material artefact
resonates with meaning as well as music.
