Where it came from
Published in 1994, this reference work serves as a comprehensive survey of influential guitarists spanning multiple genres, from blues and jazz to rock and heavy metal. Hugh Gregory, a noted music journalist and author, compiled these entries to provide a structured overview of technical innovation and stylistic contributions, aiming to bridge the gap between academic music criticism and casual enthusiast interest.
The design of the book adheres to the conventions of music reference literature from the mid-nineties, emphasizing accessibility and breadth over deep-dive biographical monographs. Upon its release, the work was noted for its scope in cataloging such a large volume of artists, though it was received by critics as a foundational guide that invited ongoing debate about which specific players truly define the history of the instrument.
