Where’s My Guitar?

An Inside Story of British Rock and Roll

Bernie Marsden
Whitesnake's guitarist, Bernie Marsden, began earning a living in a Buckingham ladies hair salon before playing in local bands and eventually more professional acts, such as UFO. His autobiography recalls the 1970s and 1980s music scene, hit records and international touring, and includes musings on the many guitars he has owned and anecdotes about famous friends and musicians, including George Harrison.

'A page turner...and then some!' Chris Evans




'An absorbing memoir.' Classic Rock Magazine




'A very enjoyable rock-n-roll memoir that is not just for fans, but for anyone interested in this classic era of the British rock scene' The Afterword




A fascinating insight into the golden-age of 1970s and 80s rock and roll told through the eyes of music legend Bernie Marsden and, most notably, his role in establishing one of the world's most famous rock bands of all time - Whitesnake.





'A compelling journey in the company of a masterful (and mercifully ego-free) musician. I saved it like a cherished slab of vinyl.' Ian Rankin




Touring with AC/DC. Befriending The Beatles. Writing one of the world's most iconic rock songs.


This is the story of a young boy from a small town who dreamt of one day playing the guitar for a living - and ended up a rock n' roll legend.


It follows Bernie Marsden's astonishing career in the industry - from tours in Cold War Germany and Franco's Spain, to meeting and befriending George Harrison and touring Europe with AC/DC. It's a story of hard graft, of life on the road, of meeting and playing with your heroes, of writing iconic rock songs - most notably the multi-million selling hit 'Here I Go Again' - and of being in one of the biggest rock bands of all time. At age 30, Bernie left Whitesnake due to serious conflict with his management, something he explores in this memoir for the very first time.


Packed with stories and encounters with the likes of Ringo Starr, Elton John, Cozy Powell, Ozzy Osborne, B.B. King and Jon Lord, this is not just a remarkable look into the highs and lows of being a true music legend, but an intimate account of the revolutionary impact rock and roll music has offered to the world.
