Anthony Simpson Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 I like to read a lot on music subjects. One of my favorite books read about blues was "The Everything Rock & Blues Guitar Book". Now I started reading the book Rock N' Blues Harmonica. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something like 'the arrow flies' or something. Really liked him back in the day... that book helped in that direction. I since have seen quite a bit about him, and really not all that impressed anymore. I wrote this bit a few years ago, and posted here on the Gibson Forums five years ago. A bit of fiction about having met Jim Morrison in Paris in 1970. Considering I would have been eleven years old at the time, it's a pretty funny piece.

SteveFord Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 I'm surprised nobody mentioned The Real Frank Zappa Book. That's not a bad read. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just posted about this in the other thread - fun read, you got quite the imagination... not sure why yours never made it to the bookstores?

lafnian1990 Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 My son loves to do themed music applications. I recently read a short story about Lord of the Flies https://gradesfixer.com/free-essay-examples/lord-of-the-flies/ and So we decided to cover the guitar deck with leather. This helped create a unique sound. It seems to me that such thematic applications help develop creative thinking and the possibility of self-education. You can replace animal materials with synthetic leather. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robyn Elmer Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 (edited) I read Kenny Werner's Easy Craftsmanship https://www.amazon.com/Effortless-Master-Liberating-Master-Musician/dp/156224003X and loved it. I'm also very interested in your blues preferences, I would read about Zeppelin "Hammer of the Gods". I have a lot of free time right now because with the help of this site I write good papers about what I read in college and can read a lot of additional literature. But the best thing is to watch documentaries, I think they will contain more details and a lot of interesting things.

01GT eibach Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 I have read a BUNCH of them. The Keith Richards and Gregg Allman books are probably the top two. I thought the Sammy Hagar and Pete Townshend ones were the most disappointing (for different reasons). While the Joe Perry book ran mid-pack and was "good", I was surprised how he really raked Steven Tyler over the coals a few times (I did not expect that at all). I am reading Jorma Kaukonen's book now (Double Dose by Hot Tuna is one of my favorite albums of all time), it is an excellent and super-interesting read, and it may end up being the best autobiography that I have read by the time I finish it; it includes a CD of music, too. As for "Hammer of the Gods", that was written a long time ago. Robert Plant said when it first came out, "There is some shreds truth there in between the lies".

saturn Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 The most recent I've read was Steve Lukather's "Gospel According To Luke". Even if you aren't a TOTO fan, it's still a good read. He's played with so many people and has many cool stories and insights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
