Beatles Gear

Front Cover
12 Reviews
Backbeat Books, 2002 - Music - 256 pages
Now in paperback and updated with new material and photos, this acclaimed book is the first to examine the guitars, basses, drums, keyboards, amplifiers - everything The Beatles used to become history's greatest rock 'n' roll band. It analyzes all the gear and how the trend-setting Beatles played it to sculpt an unforgettable range of sounds. Year by year, Beatles Gear examines in fine detail specific instruments, amplifiers, and other equipment used by each artist - from the pre-Beatle days in 1956-57 Liverpool, throughout the global Beatlemania of the '60s, to the group's disbanding in 1970.

Review: Beatles Gear: All the Fab Four's Instruments, from Stage to Studio

User Review  - Dan Morris - Goodreads

This is not a book for gearheads; it's really the story of the Beatles told through their instruments. And every *new* way I can read the story of the Beatles is one more time I can be inspired, sad, stunned, etc. Also it's a *little* bit a book for gearheads. Read full review
