What was it about a small, humble folk instrument that allowed it to become an American icon? The guitar represents freedom, the open road, protest and rebellion, the blues, youth, lost love, and sexuality. Tim Brookes explores with adoration these ideas and how they became entwined with the history of America.

If you are even mildly interested in the guitar or the history of guitar related music in the US, you owe it to yourself to listen to this book. I'm a bit of a guitar freak even though I can barely play. I enjoyed every minute of it and was legitimately sad to see the time remaining count down on my iPod. Highly recommended.
