Jim Tosone is a Contributing Editor and Staff Reviewer for Guitar Review magazine, where his articles and reviews have appeared regularly since 1991. He has also written for Soundboard magazine and authored the classical guitar entries for the three-volume Music in the Twentieth Century. His transcription for guitar of J. S. Bach’s Suite No.1 for Solo ’Cello was premiered at the 1991 Toronto Guitarfest.

Tosone has played classical guitar for over 20 years. He studied privately with Dr. Nicholas Goluses, who at the time was Chairman of the Guitar Department at the Manhattan School of Music. He has also performed in master classes for internationally renowned guitarists Hubert Käppel, Raphaëlla Smits and David Tanenbaum.

5.0 out of 5 stars Review in Classical Guitar Magazine, August 2001 Sep 20 2001
By A Customer
Format:Paperback
These quotes are from a review by Colin Cooper, Editor of Classical Guitar Magazine, published in the August 2001 issue.

"For those who love the guitar and have more than a passing interest in knowing what motivates a small handful of leading exponents, the book is an excellent read."

"The many insights in the book make it compulsive reading, perhaps even essential..."

"Jim Tosone asks very good questions, and gets very good answers..."

"...the true value of the book...lies in the revelation of character, intellect and philosophy among some of our leading guitarists..."

"I wish this book could be made compulsory reading..."
