These histories simultaneously span popular and classical styles, contemporary and historical practices, written and unwritten traditions and western and non-western cultures. This is the first book to encompass the breadth and depth of guitar performance, featuring thirteen essays covering different traditions, styles, and instruments, written by some of the most influential players, teachers, and guitar historians in the world. The coverage of the book allows the player to understand both the analogies and differences between guitar traditions, and all styles, from baroque, classical, country, blues, and rock to flamenco, African, Celtic, and instrument making will share the same platform. As musical training is increasingly broadened this comprehensive book will become an indispensable resource.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 248mmItem Length: 174mmItem Width: 17mmItem Weight: 476gContributor: Victor Anand Coelho (Edited by)Author: Victor Anand CoelhoGenre: Music Dance & TheatreBook Series: Cambridge Companions to MusicRelease Year: 2003
