Gear Secrets teaches guitarists what equipment their favourite players use, and more importantly, how to sound just like them. Drawing on interviews with 30 rock guitar legends, such as Kurt Cobain, David Gilmour of Pink Floyd, and Joe Perry of Aerosmith, and featuring rig diagrams, amplifier settings, and sound tips, Gear Secrets is the bible for rock guitar tone. The book also comes with a CD in which the authors demonstrate the sound you can achieve once you know the gear secrets of the greatest rock guitarists.
