About this product

Product Information

The guitar is the iconic instrument of modern popular music. It is portable, it has history, and it will always be hip. But why has the guitar become such a classic? Will Hodgkinson, a wannabe guitar player, whose only experience was an afternoon's bashing on a friend's guitar at the age of sixteen, set out to find out. Along the way he hoped to teach himself a few chords too. His goal was to get good enough to play before a live audience in just six months--even if it threatened to drive his wife and family to the point of insanity. His trip becomes an odyssey: He chats with British folk legend Bert Jansch, ex-Smith's guitarist Johnny Marr, and reclusive folk guitar legend Davey Graham, as well as Sufjan Stevens, PJ Harvey, and Cat Power's chanteuse Chan Marshall. He travels to America and with a hurricane brewing visits Roger McGuinn from the Byrds. He travels to the Deep South, looking for the spirit of Robert Johnson, and drops in on T-Model Ford, an old bluesman living in Mississippi. Gloriously readable and highly amusing, Guitar Man is classic obsessional nonfiction for a nation of guitar freaks.

  • Great read for both guitarists and would-be guitarists

    Will Hodgkinson recounts the tale of his first forays into playing the guitar with humor and humility. New players will find a friend in Hodgkinson as he documents the joys and frustrations of learning the instrument, and longtime guitarists will harken back to their earlier years and feel reinspired -- and both will learn a great deal about the instrument itself and its intriguing history. Highly recommended!

  • Great story

    Very well written about a guy that has never played guitar and gives himself 6 months to learn how to play and then perform on stage. Any guitarist can relate to this story which is filled with humour and lots of guitar history. A very fun read.
