The History and Artistry of National Resonator Instruments (Book) Review

The History and Artistry of National Resonator Instruments [Paperback]
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Bob's book gives a great insight into who actually researched, tested, and invented the instruments, where and how they were manufactured and sold, and who played them (blues, jazz, and Hawaiian musicians) the sound and music is terrific.What is really amazing is the craftsmanship of the old world engravers, I would love to own an original Tricone IV or Single Cone IV.This book introduced me to a new side of acoustic music I was not aware of, the readers of this book would do well to purchase Tone Poems III, Vintage Slide and Resonator Instruments played by three gifted musicians, David Grisman, Mike Auldridge, the Bob Brozman, the author of this book.

Bottleneck Blues Guitar (Guitar Books) Review

Bottleneck Blues Guitar [Paperback]
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
24 great bottleneck pieces from 17 Masters of the blues.Includes Robert Johnson, Son House, Leadbelly, Charlie Patton, and Tampa Red to name a few.More than enough to start building a repetoire.It will keep you busy for a long time.

Songs include greats like "Walkin' Blues", "Come on in my kitchen", "Cross Road Blues"--good stuff.

This is not really a beginners book.Intermediate at least.For a great beginners book get "Traditional, Country, and Electric Slide Guitar" by Arlen Roth.That one will give a beginner "That Sound" right off the bat.
