I've seen this book before, and I received one in excellent condition. I live in Hawaii, so it took over a month to get, but I'm very satisfied. Great condition for a used book, and hardback too, which I wasn't expecting. Thumbs up!
Great Reference
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
Although this book has some minor flaws, it is a great reference for theory applied to guitar. The section on chords and scales is phenomenal. The chord diagrams can be a little confusing, however all notes are labeled and confusion can be avoided with a little attention. I would recommend this book for any serious guitarist.
Excellent coverage of almost every issue related to guitars

This is a really excellent book, one that I highly recommend. It contains a little history of stringed instruments, mostly oriented towards guitar, and electric more than acoustic. Inside is complete coverage of all standard notes, chord theory, chord dictionary, and altered tunings and a few 'weird' ways of playing. Different genres are covered, including blues, flamenco, classical and (of course) rock. Very interesting profiles of a number of artists, including their styles of play and guitar types (including brand names). At the end is a section on recording, producing, publishing, marketing and selling including info that is up to date with what's new on the internet. There are a few typos, mostly in the latter chapters, but a very worthwhile book and quite complete for all my purposes.

Great book for the beginer. From the history of the instrument to recording and marketing your music this book has it all. Great photos too.
