About the book
"The guitar is central to popular music. It has an enduring appeal. Why should this be so? Will Hodgkinson, with only an afternoon's experience of bashing on a friend's guitar, wanted to find out. He hoped to teach himself a few chords too. On his journey ... he chats to Bert Jansch ... he talks to Johnny Marr and reclusive folk-guitar legend Davey Graham. He travels to America and visits Roger McGuinn of the Byrds ... meets T. Model Ford, an old Blues man living in Mississippi. With a dawning realisation that his talent is limited, and conscious that his wife and children are bored with his obsession, Will wonders whether the gig that he's planned where he'll play in front of over two hundred people wont turn out to be a terrible mistake ... "Guitar man" gets to the heart of contemporary music's love affair with the guitar." -- Back cover.
