Pink_Floyd Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 Well I won a book voucher for a UK store worth £25.00 ($36.00) so I am looking for recommendations for any guitar related books to buy??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tuckomf Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 I'd buy The Beatles Complete Chord Songbook. It's got all the beatles songs in basic chord-over-lyrics format. I bring it along on group camping trips, since everybody knows the beatles. The only guitar specific book that I own is Paul Balmer's The Gibson Les Paul Handbook. It gives some pretty basic setup tips, and there's tons of eye candy to check out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djroge1 Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 The Guitar Tube Amp Hand book by Dave Hunter Fretboard Logic is ok, but I'm not sure I would recommend it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruznolfart Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 I am currently engaged in reading "1000 Recordings To Hear Before You Die" by Tom Moon. Not guitar-related but music-related, it has given me a new, refreshing look at some old and some unknown works by composers and artists of virtually every musical genre. I can't imagine a musician NOT enjoying this book, although how it may or may not effect one's guitar-playing might be difficult to measure.

TinFish Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 Guitar Player Repair Guide by Dan Erlewine... Les Gibson orientated' date=' lots of Strat and acoustic stuff... [/quote'] I also own this book and would recommend it as well, very comprehensive. I would also suggest "This is Your Brain on Music" by Daniel J. Levitin. It is really fascinating. http://www.amazon.co.uk/This-Your-Brain-Music-Understanding/dp/1843547155/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1240360248&sr=8-3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, Dave Ramseys book "complete money make over" I hear is a really good book too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
