Features:

Ritchie Valens was the first nationally recognized Latino rock'n' roll star. He had a meteoric rise to fame in a career that lasted barely eight months, before his tragic death along with Buddy Holly, the Big Bopper and pilot Roger Peterson, in a plane crash north of Clear Lake, Iowa. Ritchie's unique guitar style and high-energy performances and his hits Come On, Let's Go, Donna, and La Bamba made him a well-known figure in the golden age of rock 'n' roll. Valens had only two studio albums, Ritchie Valens and Ritchie, both released posthumously in 1959.

In Ritchie Valens Songbook: Hits and B Sides, guitarist and author Ryan Sheeler presents an in-depth look at Ritchie's music from these two albums, featuring 12 note-for-note transcriptions with accompanying guitar tablature. This is a follow up to Sheeler's book, Ritchie Valens: His Guitar and Music, featuring a complete exploration of La Bamba, plus Ritchie's guitars and history.
