Be Dangerous on Rock Guitar

Rating:
Summary: The best informative book I've found.
Review: If you want to really understand the guitar as an instrument, you want this book. This is not for posers who just want to play Green Day covers. Although I could say it sometimes refers to musical terms the way a guitarist does instead of the way accepted in music theory courses, the information is generally correct and answers all the questions that no one else does. This book is aimed at the serious (and intelligent) guitarist. It is in pieces because I use it so much. The diagrams are something that you look at and don't get, then it hits you like a rock and you are hooked for the rest of your life. They are gold. The book is actually hilarious most of the time, but definitely steeped in technical information. A final word: if you really want to play, put down all those tab sheets and buy this book. If you actually read through it, it will change your life.

Summary: Great to balance your chair out!
Review: Lots of physics stuff that isn't too useful. Confusing chord charts(edge gets a bit dull after a while), not worth the money.

Summary: To the point, One of the best to learn guitar. Easy to read.
Review: This book is one of the best, and I have gone through many. It is concise, to the point, and does not leave any mystery. Now I have to go buy the tapes that go with it. The book really does not waste time with stuff you don't need to know, like the "great staff" and how to read music. It uses pictures of the fret board...How else would I learn. It is not a book for rocket scientist, it is a book for someone who owns a guitar. Also try "Blues You Can Use" by Ganapes and "Guitar Handbook" by Denyer.
