Every great rock singer needs a great guitarist by their side . . .
Earl Slick started with the best: aged 22 he was hired by David Bowie to play guitar on 1974’s Diamond Dogs tour. He never looked back.
Gracing classic Bowie albums like Young Americans and Station to Station, Slick was also in John Lennon’s band at the time of the former Beatle’s tragic murder.
Other collaborators include Mick Jagger, The Cure, Buddy Guy and Eric Clapton.
Through it all, on tour and in the studio, he lived the rock ‘n’ roll life to the hilt – until it nearly killed him.
Guitar puts us in the room and on the stage with rock’s greatest stars as Earl Slick reveals how music history was made – one lick at a time.
‘Earl is a legendary guitar star. His playing is earth, timeless and never less than stellar’ DAVID BOWIE
