Electric Guitar

A new series of concise, pocket guides help you make the most of your musical instrument.

Rough Guide Tipbooks guide musicians -- both novice and experienced -- into choosing the instrument that's right for them.

Each Tipbook is divided into the "Basics", the use and main parts of the instrument and learning how to play; the "Guide", practical tips on selecting an instrument as well as maintaining, tuning, and buying accessories; and the "Contexts", the history of the instrument, how it is made, and the main brands on the market.

A terrific reference and a great gift, Rough Guide Tipbooks will enhance anyone's feel for their instrument and make them a better musician.
