Sommario/riassunto |
|
Lenny Breau (1941-1984) was called ""the greatest guitarist who ever walked the face of the earth."" Breau began playing the instrument at age seven, and went on to master many styles. His virtuosity influenced countless performers, but at the expense of his personal relationships. This book presents Breau's life story and his musical importance. |
