SQUIER ELECTRICS, 30 YEARS OF FENDER'S BUDGET GUITAR BRAND LIBRO

SQUIER ELECTRICS, 30 YEARS OF FENDER'S BUDGET GUITAR BRAND.

LIBRO

Series: Book
Publisher: Backbeat Books
Format: Softcover
Author: Tony Bacon

In 1982, Fender revived an old guitar-string name for its new line of Japanese-made electric guitars. Millions of guitars later, and celebrating its 30th anniversary, Squier is almost as important to the company as the main Fender brand.

Guitar pundit Tony Bacon reveals the stories behind the original (and collectible) Japanese-made Squier Series models, the way that Fender has often been more adventurous and experimental with Squier, away from its protected main brand, and the famous musicians who have chosen to play Squier instruments, from Courtney Love and her Venus model to blink-182's Tom DeLonge and his one-pickup/one-control signature Stratocaster.

Full of the luscious pictures, absorbing narrative, and collector's data that characterize Bacon's best-selling instrument books, Squier Electrics is the only guide to one of the most popular guitar brands of recent times.

THE IBANEZ ELECTRIC GUITAR BOOK, A COMPLETE HISTORY OF IBANEZ ELECTRIC GUITARS

LIBRO

Series: Book
Publisher: Backbeat Books
Format: Softcover
Author: Tony Bacon
Release Date: 06/25/2013

Ibanez is the most important Japanese guitar brand, and this new book tells the story of its electric guitars, tracking the fortunes of this impressive brand.

At first the guitars were cheap and basic, and in the 1970s, Ibanez was best known for its copies of leading Gibson instruments, including Les Pauls, SGs, and Explorers. As the Japanese music industry gained maturity and increased quality, Ibanez made more assured instruments with original features; and in the late '70s and early '80s, it hit new peaks of achievement. The big break came in the late '80s with the arrival of Steve Vai's impressive and spectacular JEM signature models. In recent years, the company has continued to provide great modern electric guitars.

Ibanez guitarists featured in the book include George Benson, Charlie Burchill (Simple Minds), Phil Collen (Def Leppard), Allan Holdsworth, Pat Metheny, Steve Miller, Joni Mitchell, John Petrucci (Dream Theater), Lee Ritenour, Joe Satriani, John Scofield, Paul Stanley (Kiss), Mick Thompson (Slipknot), Steve Vai, and Bob Weir (Grateful Dead).

The book is in the tradition of Tony Bacon's best-selling guitar series, with a carefully researched story, including exclusive interviews with Vai and Satriani, a gallery of full-color pictures of famous guitars and players, and a reference section detailing production years and specifications of all Ibanez's electric models.

THE EPIPHONE GUITAR BOOK, A COMPLETE HISTORY OF EPIPHONE GUITARS.

LIBRO

Series: Book
Publisher: Backbeat Books
Format: Softcover
Author: Walter Carter

The story of Epiphone, one of the oldest and most famous guitar companies, is told by former staff historian Walter Carter. It's an epic story spanning three centuries, from Old World roots in the 19th century to the golden age of American makers in the 20th century and onward into the global market of the new millennium. It's the story of America's business, from an individual luthier to a family business and on to corporate ownership. And it's the story of American popular music, powered by Epiphone guitars, from big-bodied Emperor that drove the swing bands of the 1930s, to the electric hollowbodies of the 1960s used by The Beatles and studio ace Howard Roberts, to custom solidbody models for such modern rockers as Noel Gallagher (Oasis), Jeff Waters (Annihilator), and Frank Iero (My Chemical Romance). Beautifully illustrated with photos of all the important Epiphone instruments and the extraordinary musicians who played them, this is a fascinating history of an iconic name in the world of the guitar.

WAY DOWN, PLAYING BASS ELVIS PRESLEY-BOB DYLAN-DOORS THE AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF JERRY SCHEFF.

WAY DOWN, PLAYING BASS WITH ELVIS, DYLAN, THE DOORS AND MORE - THE AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF JERRY SCHEFF.

LIBRO

Series: Book
Publisher: Backbeat Books
Format: Softcover
Author: Jerry Scheff

In this candid and perceptive memoir of his 45-year career, bassist Jerry Scheff takes us onto Elvis's private jet, on tour with Bob Dylan, and into the studio with The Doors. A stalwart presence behind some of the greatest names of popular music, Scheff has also played with Roy Orbison, Elvis Costello, the Association, Neil Diamond, Johnny Mathis, the Everly Brothers, John Denver, and Nancy Sinatra, to name just a few. Eschewing hype, Scheff provides a behind-the-scenes perspective, from having worked sleeves rolled up, side by side, with the great artists in their factories.

The book opens with the TCB band's learning of the King's death while en route to a tour date, a pivotal moment for him, the rest of the band, and the world at large. He then proceeds on a nonlinear journey that mirrors the process of true life-reflection, from his roots in San Francisco to his touring all over the world.

This is a tale of a man who has truly grown a career from a genuine love of music and of his instrument, proving how following that gift can bring a person to places beyond his wildest dreams. It is an exciting inside view of the evolution and craft and work of making rock and roll – a must-have for true music craftsmen and music junkies in general.

TELECASTER GUITAR BOOK A COMPLETE HISTORY OF FENDER TELECASTER GUITARS TONY BACON LIBRO

TELECASTER GUITAR BOOK, A COMPLETE HISTORY OF FENDER TELECASTER GUITARS, TONY BACON.

LIBRO

Revised and Updated
Series: Book
Publisher: Backbeat Books
Format: Softcover
Author: Tony Bacon

This new version of Tony Bacon's Six Decades of the Fender Telecaster shows how the world's first commercially successful solidbody electric guitar still attracts musicians more than 60 years since its birth in California. Today, it is more popular than ever and for many guitarists has overtaken the Stratocaster as the Fender to own and play. The Tele is the longest-lived solidbody electric, played by everyone from Muddy Waters to Keith Richards, from Radiohead to Snow Patrol. Its sheer simplicity and versatility are vividly illustrated here through interviews with Jeff Beck, James Burton, Bill Kirchen, John 5, and more. The book is three great volumes in one: a compendium of luscious pictures of the most desirable Teles, a gripping story from the earliest days to the latest exploits, and a detailed collector's guide to every Tele ever made. Packed with pictures of great players, collectable catalogs, period press ads, and cool memorabilia, The Telecaster Guitar Book is the one Tele book that all guitar fans will want to add to their collection.

LED ZEPPELIN - LA BIOGRAFIA

Canzone per canzone, saprete particolari che il libro "Il martello degli dei, La saga dei Led Zeppelin" di Stephen Davis" non vi ha raccontato. E qui c'è tutto quello che non ha spifferato (a pagamento) il loro road Manager Richard Cole.

Raccolte numerose citazioni e articoli di giornale, racconti di parenti e amici, persone vicine al gruppo, interviste dalle  riviste specializzate per chitarra.

L'elenco di tutti i titoli dove è stato riconosciuto dagli stessi Led il plagio.

E tutte le altre donne frustate da Jimmy Page (quasi come nel film "8 1/2" di Fellini). 

Nome per nome tutte le groupie, che non sono molte e poi alla fine sono sempre le stesse, mentre le rockstar invece sono molto conosciute e numerose. 

Groupie di facili costumi e Roadie rissosi.

Lo strapotere della casa discografica ATLANTIC RECORDS del turco Ahmet Ertegun (July 31 1923 – December 14 2006) nato a Istanbul e di famiglia musulmana, proprietario della squadra di calcio Cosmos, e i fan hippie-spendi-soldi americani. 

Il loro peggior incidente allo stadio Vigorelli di Milano il 5 luglio 1971, da quel giorno per 8 anni l'italia fu totalmente esclusa dai tour europei dei concerti rock, fino a quando non arrivò Patty Smith allo stadio di Bologna nel settembre del 1979.

La leggendaria jam session del 14 settembre 1974 al ristorante Quaglino's di Londra con Jimmy Page, Bonham, Neil Young, Stills, Nash.

L'icona del gruppo presa da un quadro del 1869-1870 di un pittore americano, un certo William Rimmer, del museo di Boston Museum of Fine Arts.

Al concerto di Tampa superarono gli incassi record dei Beatles, anche come numero di biglietti venduti.

Quando John Paul Jones ha scritto in treno la musica di Black Dog, pensando a Howlin' Wolf. 

L'episodio di Oakland del 23 luglio 1977, l'episodio dello squalo.
