<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><strong>From a small backyard workshop on the outskirts of Melbourne, Maton Guitars has grown into a truly inspiring Australian success story. </strong></p> <p>In 1946, Bill May crafted a guitar in his Melbourne garage that he wanted the world to hear and to play. In a matter of years, it was in the hands of Elvis Presley on film. Later, a Maton played the riff that defined a generation on the Rolling Stones' 'Gimme Shelter'. Today, Maton are an essential part of music culture in Australia and around the world.</p> <p>This is not only a book for guitar lovers -- it's an intimate family history and an essential part of Australian music history. Compiling over ten years of research, and over two years in production, this book is as well-crafted and family-owned as Maton guitars themselves.</p> <p>Go behind-the-scenes to meet the artisan guitar makers. Read the stories behind the songs created with Maton guitars. And go backstage to meet the bands and musicians that have, with a Maton in hand, shaped our musical world.</p> <p>Packed full of interviews with the greats -- from jazz legend George Golla to guitar virtuoso Tommy Emmanuel; from Archie Roach, and The Wiggles, to Daniel Johns, Paul Kelly, and Josh Homme, and many more ...</p> <p>Published to coincide with Maton's 70th anniversary, <em>The Music That Maton Made</em> is a comprehensive, full-colour tribute to a home-grown guitar range that has been embraced by famous musicians and guitar enthusiasts around the world.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><i>The Music That Maton Made </i>was produced by <b>Story Matters Most</b>, with contributions from Andrew McUtchen, Jeff Jenkins, and Barry Divola.
