That and the picture of Terry Kath in the CTA album playing one. He played an SG at the time for the book and that was a big reason my first electric guitar was an SG. When Pat Thrall became well known, they replaced all of those pics with pictures of him. When they first published the book, Hendrix was on the cover and it was full of rock guitar player pics. They then analyzed the film to make an accurate tab of what he did. They took a guitar player (Pat Thrall before he played with Pat Travers) and filmed him playing. The rock guitar book was called "Improvising Rock Guitar" by Glenn Hughes and is still available if you want to experience the only thing we had at the time. There was a Mel Bay book or two but it was no tab and your basic Mary Had A Little Lamb type stuff. Definitely no books with whole albums tabbed let alone anything else rock. There was only ONE rock guitar instruction book available that I could find that was any good and it had tab. ![]() Maybe once every three years there was something. First time I saw it mentioned was in an article in some guitar magazine back in the late 80's (for the younger crowd, monthly periodicals were the world's only source of guitar tabs before the internet started to show us all how to play things wrong ) ).īack in the '70's there was only one major guitar magazine (Guitar Player) and they definitely had the attitude that you HAD to learn to read music on the guitar to be a "real" guitar player and since they were a "serious" magazine there were NO tabulatures of anything on a regular basis.
