John HUBER
The Development of the Modern Guitar
A compact, accessible guide to:
-
Guitar history, with an emphasis on the past 150 years
-
Schools of guitar design and construction throughout the world
-
Thumbnail refresher course on the great luthiers and marketing trends of the past century
-
Topical issues
-
Influences of Segovia and others
-
Why the attempt to play early lute music on the guitar was doomed to fail
-
Harmful effects of modern recordings which give an incorrect impression of guitar sound
-
Harmful effects of overly rigid professional standards and requirements which can discourage amateur players who are the principal support of the guitar industry.
-
This is not an academic book but a free-wheeling, informed journey through the guitar world, touching on some peaks (and troughs) of modern guitar history.
