Pete Townshend and 12-string guitar

Bookmark and Share
Books that tell the story of instruments that have made ​​rock history, from the FenderTelecaster Gibson LesPauls. Written interviews with musicians, with technical details, but not too much (in other words they can read a non-musician). Tony Bacon writes themand publish them to the backbeat, they are easily on Amazon.

I just finished reading that tells the history of Rickenbacker, which is actually a book on the use of electrified 12-string guitar, bouzouki from its origins in the remote (which yousee and hear, for example in the recent live Leonard Cohen) explosion in the '60sthanks to the Beatles. A parallel history of rock music that tells stories really tasty. Such as Pete Townshend, who agreed to do the testimonial of the Rickenbacker to the guilt,because as a youngster he had broken too many on stage ...

I did what should have been an author - the only failing of the book - that is, a playlist withsome of the songs mentioned in the book: Beatles, Byrds, Who, Tom Petty, REM, XTC,Jefferson Airplane, The Smiths. It is coming off a great compilation of classic rock.
