I usually try to get most of my information from websites such as Cyberfret (which really has turned out to be a great source - especially helpful people on this forum) but this weekend I found a great resourse book. I'm not big on books generally, but this was right up my alley and I think it would be helpful for anyone on or around intermediate level in their understanding of the guitar. The book is called 'Guitar on tap!' by Joe Bennet and looks like a can of Boddingtons (great beer!!!). Its a straight to the point book, listing, in very easy to understand diagrams, pictures and explanations, chords (standard and a bit whacky), tunings (and corresponding chords), riffs and scales. Has anyone seen the book? If so, what do you think?

Anyway, just thought I'd pass that on. Its not often that I find books this good. (for me):)

I picked it up in Stockholm, and to be honest they dont have much of a selection up here. Anyway, I found the book for you on a site:

seeing as youre in the UK, seems like a good deal with free delivery (I think). Check it out. Seems to be heaps of other stuff there too. Interesting. I'm headed back there now myself:)
