For nearly a decade, " Dear Guitar Hero" has remained one of Guitar World magazine's most popular features. This book is a compilation of the best of those interviews with some of rock's most inspiring guitar icons including Buddy Guy, Slash, Jeff Beck, Joe Satriani and Richie Sambora.
The questions vary from straightforward to random. You'll hear what Ritchie Blackmore really thinks about the enduring nature of his classic riff "Smoke on the Water", and find out who Steve Vai would choose if he had to design a 'Mount Rushmore' for guitar players.
Through the years, Guitar World readers have proved themselves to be fearless when asking question of their guitar idols, often touching on subjects others would be reluctant to broach. Whether it's the truth behind the Allman Brothers' legendary At Fillmore East album cover photo and the illegal substance in Duane Allman's hand, what Ritchie Blackmore meant when he referred to Eric Clapton as "not a very good guitar player," or Dave Mustaine's true feelings about Metallica drummer Lars Ulrich, Dear Guitar Hero features revealing conversations with many of the most legendary figures in rock guitar history.
