The Rough Guide To Electric Guitar & Bass Guitar

IN BRIEF
Have you just started playing? Are you thinking about buying an electric guitar or bass? Do you want to know more about the instrument you already own? Then this book will tell you everything you need to know. You’ll read about the names of all the parts and what they do, about lessons and practicing, strings and pickups, tuning and maintenance, and about the history and family of the guitar and bass. And much, much more.

GET THE MOST FROM YOUR INSTRUMENT
Having read this Rough Guide, you’ll be able to get the most out of your guitar or bass, to buy the best instrument possible, and to easily grasp any other literature on the subject.

BEGIN AT THE BEGINNING
If you’ve just started playing, or haven’t yet begun, pay particular attention to the first four chapters. If you’ve been playing longer, you might want to skip ahead to Chapter 5.

GLOSSARY
Most of the terms you’ll come across as a guitarist or bassist are explained in the glossary at the end of the book, which doubles as an index.
