A cross-tradition survey of the guitar

Edited by Victor Anand Coelho, this collection brings together thirteen essays on the guitar across a wide musical map. Baroque and classical practices appear alongside country, blues, rock, flamenco, African, and Celtic traditions, with attention to the instruments and approaches associated with each. The book is organized as a comparative study: its contributors—players, teachers, and guitar historians—trace both connections and distinctions among genres that are often considered separately. With its essay-based format, it offers a broad reference point for understanding how the guitar operates across historical and regional musical contexts.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Guitarists seeking context beyond a single genre
  • Music students exploring guitar history and traditions
  • Readers interested in comparative studies of musical styles
