Guitar Bibliography


After having written many papers on guitar and guitar related topics, I thought it might be helpful to place the bibliography I use as a starting point on the web. A quick glance at this list is always humbling and reminds me of the many materials I have yet to read; and, of all those before me whom have labored passionately in the name of 'guitar'. This bibliography is offered with the best of intentions and is certainly not of my own creation.
