DESCRIPTION:
In her new book, My First Guitar: Tales Of True Love And Lost Chords, Julia Crowe weaves a musical journey with essays from 70 famous guitarists. It's an impressive list of subjects (including Dick Dale, Roger McGuinn of The Byrds, Steve Vai, Tom Morello, Daniel Lanois, Joey Santiago of the Pixies, and Alex Lifeson of Rush), and the book's forward was written by Andy Summers from The Police.

My First Guitar... proves the adage that the love for one's first guitar never fades. As Jimmy Page says in the book, "It's all still six strings. It never ceases to amaze me. And hopefully, it will never cease to amaze me."

In this interview, we talk about how Crowe was able to catch up with her subjects, why she included so many different genres of music, and how she got her meeting with the ever-elusive Jimmy Page.
