Kitap hakkında
A photographer whose works are collected by museums worldwide, and whose previous books include Light Strings: Impressions of the Guitar, Ralph Gibson here presents evocative black and white portraits of more than 60 guitar masters with their "axes"—the instruments with which they express their musicianship and earn their livings. These are artists who have lent their highly original styles to genres from jazz, blues, funk, fusion, and rock to acoustic, classical, and experimental music—including Adrian Belew, Al Di Meola, Bill Frisell, Fred Frith, Mary Halvorson, Charlie Hunter, Les Paul, Lou Reed, Leni Stern, Andy Summers, and Michelle Webb—and each offers a personal statement on playing the guitar. ‘’İleri Teknik Enstrüman: Fotoğraflar ve Kelimelerde Gitar Virtüozleri’’ Ralph Gibson tarafından Les Paul, Lou Reed, Leni Stern ve daha birçok gitar virtüözünün enstrümanlarıyla birlikte yakalanan portrelerinin bir araya getirildiği, bu sanatçıların yaşamlarının yansıtıldığı bir kitap.
