Robin Turner

Robin Turner has a lifelong love of guitar music and has been buying and selling guitars since acquiring his first are at the age of twelve.. After a successful career in sales and marketing management he decided it was time to fulfill a long term ambition of becoming a writer.

Most guitar books focus on playing the guitar but this one helps people making their first purchase to understand why some guitars are better than others, how to buy the right instrument, maintain it, and avoid expensive mistakes. The Nitty Gritty Guitar Book is designed to help newcomers quickly understand and develop confidence in all key aspects of the guitar so they can concentrate on learning to play.

When not working, Robin reads widely and gets his cultural fix from an eclectic mix of movies, theatre and live concerts - particularly those involving inspirational guitar playing. In idle moments he can be found updating his ‘fifty things to do before you die’ list in the hope of staving off the inevitable. He lives in Northampton with his wife, two cats and a modest guitar collection.
