Foreword by Steve Miller
Introduction by C.F.
Martin IV.
Martin
guitars are
internationally revered,
collected and played by
performers, singers,
songwriters and by
legions of avid
collectors and
enthusiasts. This book
features more than a
hundred of Martin's most
desirable guitars,
including instruments
belonging to Bob Dylan,
Willie Nelson, Joan Baez,
Sting and Eric Clapton.
Dick Boak
enthusiastically outlines
his experiences as
liaison in these
collaborations. We also
get a sneak preview of
Martin's millionth
instrument, due in 2004.
Dick Boak is the head of
artist relations and
publicity at C.F. Martin
& Co., collaborating
with artists in the
design of their Limited
Edition and Signature
Models. A prolific
artist, luthier and
musician in his own
right, he is a founder of
the Association of
Stringed Instrument
Artisans, and has
organized numerous
national
instrument-making
symposiums.

The
Guitar Foundation of
America (GFA) is
committed to cultivating
Inclusion, Diversity,
Equity and Access in the
international guitar
community and in the
repertoire published for
the instrument. Many
factors, including a
composer's race, gender,
and sexual orientation,
have historically created
a narrow representation
of our community in the
classical music canon.
For this first volume of
the GFA Spotlight Series,
the GFA commissioned
seven new works by
composers of color. The
second volume of this
series will follow with
seven transcriptions of
existing pieces by
composers of color. These
commissioned pieces and
transcriptions were
premiered by students in
the GFA Mentorship
Program in 2021. With
this collection, the
guitar takes a step
towards a more inclusive
and representative
repertoire that nurtures
creativity and inclusion
for generations of
guitarists to come.
Growing the canon
enriches the musical
experiences of our entire
international guitar
community through
exposure to diverse
perspectives and voices,
complementing the
invaluable lessons we
learn from the existing
contributions of pieces
that form the canon.
