Guitar self teaching literature

Going back to this again, once you're on your way, I find that actually working things out by ear teaches you an awful lot about music and your playing. Well recommended.

Very good books are written by guthrie govan - never stops amazing me how immense he is at so many different styles of music. I have the Creative guitar; Advanced Techniques 1&2 but check the PM i sent and i'll get back to you, hopefully with something fun and useful.

Cheers for pointerss guys.

Cheers for the PM also Dave, sent you one back.

Jase, is there any particular style you are interested in? For example, do you want to indulge in all manner of fretboard w***ery, or do you feel destined to become the rythm meister?

If I'm honest, I'd say I don't know. I'd like to get involved with a bit of impressive fretboard work at some stage, although at present rythm guitar is more of an obtainable target!

We shall see where it takes me, but my ideal would be to pick up a guitar and impress onlookers with my guitaring guruship.

You might also want to try www.justinguitar.com . He's an australian bloke but we won't hold that against him. He has some interesting DVD's and books which you can buy as well as online lessons for free. Most of the videos are on youtube but the links for them are on the main site. I bought the master your major scales dvd and tbh, his teaching methods are brilliant. Worth a look at any rate.
