Does the Noise in My Head Bother You? - A Rock 'n' Roll Memoir

Review:This book puts you inside Steven Tyler's head like you wouldn't believe. From early childhood on. I've always loved the musician, now I am totally impressed with the man. What a life he led. What a mind! Read more

Gold Dust Woman: The Biography of Stevie Nicks
Gold Dust Woman: The Biography of Stevie Nicks

Review:Honestly, if you're interested in this book, don't waste your money - check it out at your local public library instead. As a fan of Stevie's (and Fleetwood Mac itself) for nearly 4 decades, I expected far better from Stephen Davis than this waste of ink and paper, particularly considering that he collaborated with Mick Fleetwood on his autobiography way back in 1990 (which caused quite a stir with the controversial allegation that Lindsey Buckingham physically assaulted Stevie, which Davis goes...

Review:I thought it was interesting. I admire the ambition and drive of Rod Stewart. I thought the book was well written. Probably much more enjoyable to people who like football ( soccer). I would recommend it to people who like biographies of successful people. Read more

Review:Written in first person, Anthony shares his life story through colorful antidotes that will have you rolling from laughter and also pain. Drug addition is an ugly journey, and I have a greater appreciation for someone going through it. Anthony is a great writer, easy to read, I'm sad the book is over! Read more

Review:This was
Surprisingly good but predictable and not a lot we didn't know. Glad he did it and it was interesting enough to keep me reading it. Wish it went beyond Anti-Christ Superstar though. Was never a huge fan but a fan just the same Read more

The Beatles After the Breakup - You Never Give Me Your Money

Review:For Beatles fans, Doggett's book follows the Fab Four from their break up in 1969 to the present day. The book was most interesting covering the years immediaetly after the break-up - alot of deals on the financial mess but necessary to understand why the split became permanent. Where I had problems with the book is the relentlessly negative attitude towards the four individuals during the second half of the book - none of them seemed to do anything worthwhile. Also, Doggett goes back and for... Read more

The Guitar Player Repair Guide - 3rd
The Guitar Player Repair Guide - 3rd

Review:I was looking for something more serious than the typical "how to change your strings" book designed for players.

This one is a must. I do all my own set-ups and adjustments and this book covers all the bases, even beyond what you might feel doing yourself, such a re-setting a neck. Never condescending and very clearly written.

If there is something that you won't feel comfortable doing yourself, at least you will have a good appreciation of the skill level required for a pro to do... Read more

A Comprehensive and Hands-on Guide to Playing with More Confidence and Freedom

Review:There were some good points and helpful but overall Ms Cap's style of teaching did not mesh for me. I found the book a little confusing. Same with her videos. I know I am in the minority . I have played bass for over 20 years so please dont comment and bash me for this opinion But as an overall resource I will keep the book for the tips I can glean from it. Read more

Book & Online Audio (Alfred's Basic Guitar Library)

Review:I have enjoyed using this method for learning guitar. It would be best to have a teacher, however I don't have the schedule to allow learning at a set time. With Alfred's books I have been able to slowly but surely progress on my own. Read more
