About the Book

Sure to strike a chord with guitarists and blues fans, this authoritative and photo-filled volume includes well over 100 of the genre's greatest players and performers from the prewar era to present.

From blues pioneers like Robert Johnson, Son House, Blind Lemon Jefferson, and Memphis Minnie to today's hottest guitar slingers such as Derek Trucks, Joe Bonamassa, Gary Clark Jr., and Samantha Fish, The Ultimate Book of Blues Guitars is your guide to the instruments and musicians that made blues a cornerstone of American culture and the very foundation of rock and roll. Author and guitar journalist Pete Prown presents his subjects by blues-defining eras and subgenres, including: early acoustic and country blues, Chicago blues, the British Invasion, blues rock, and more.

Prown's knowledgeable discussions examine specific noteworthy guitars each player made famous, as well as effects pedals, amplifiers, and career overviews that include the players' first-person revelations and insights.

Illustrated with photos of the guitarists in action, the book also features sidebars on influencers who were pioneers of various styles and subgenres, techniques like slide guitar, blues jargon, and influential women who helped shape the blues.
