  The guitar and American music are inexorably intertwined. In this book, the author notes that 'American music was built on the backs of black slaves'. It shows how folk music and a cross-fertilization of traditions and techniques resulted in blues, ragtime, jazz, rock 'n' roll, and country-western.
