Guitar History

guitar history
If someone was to take a crash course in guitar history where would one go?

My guy has a strat, gibson, and les paul(?). He plays in a kinda goth band (?)/indie band. I want to impress him with some musical terminology relating to guitars, playing, bands, etc.. I studied and played the flute and piccolo for almost 20 yrs. so I’m semi am familiar with music terms, but guitar? I haven’t got a clue except for the bands I like and the players. HELP!! I want to know his socks off!

IMHO there is no way to suddenly learn enough information to impress someone who’s already an expert. If your 20 years of musical experience isn’t enough to impress him, try another tactic. Tell him what you want to learn and let HIM teach you. In my experience guys love to talk about their interests, and if you learn it, you will both have a common interest.

Riding the Rails lets survivors tell their stories of thri…
