BRITISH ROCK GUITAR The first 50 years, the musicians and their stories `The definitive, if not the only, book on early British rock guitar – a great read.' Hank B. Marvin, The Shadows A personal and often very funny account of how the early rock stars grappled with the fact that nobody had the faintest idea of how to go about becoming a rock star because no-one had ever done it before.' Miles Kington, journalist and broadcaster Published 19 September 2011 The guitar is the most emotive musical instrument of the last 50 years of rock and roll, but there was a time when the future guitar heroes of the Rock and Roll world were cobbling together their instruments from wardrobes, cigar boxes, tea chests, pencil cases, fuse wire and bread toasters and guitar picks were fashioned out of ice cream containers. Perfectly evoking the atmosphere of the 50's and 60's Mo Foster draws on his own recollections and those of the greatest exponents of the rock guitar, from Hank Marvin to Eric Clapton and Brian May, and the many others who, before they became famous, started out rehearsing in pigeon lofts and their mum's kitchen. The stories in British Rock Guitar chronicle the formative period during which the excitement of discovery, the naïvité, and the insane struggles gave birth to the rise and development of rock guitar in Britain, and helped to shape the way in which we perform and record today. These stories are idiosyncratic, charming, and optimistic, but above all, they are very funny.. British Rock Guitar is also devoted to the rise and eventual demise of the London studio session scene: an insider's view of this creative world, and the wonderful absurdity of musicians' humour in general. Mo Foster's career as a renowned and prestigious contemporary bass player has spanned over 40 years. He is now established as a top session musician, solo artist, producer, composer, and now author. Among the hundreds of artists with whom he has recorded or toured are Jeff Beck, Phil Collins, Brian May, Ringo Starr, Joan Armatrading, Gerry Rafferty, Annifrid Lyngstad (Frida of ABBA), Gil Evans, Van Morrison, Cliff Richard, Gary Moore, Hank Marvin, Roger Glover, and The London Symphony Orchestra. In British Rock Guitar: the first 50 years, the musicians and their stories Mo Foster brings together many of their recollections and stories and has written the definitive history of the importance of the guitar in the development of British music over the last 50 years. From backstage to touring to recording, Mo Foster has seen it all and provides an intriguing insider's view of the music business.
