Rating:  Summary: The Eveything Rock and Blues Guitar Book Review: Wow! I bought this book thinking I might pick up a few pointers on my playing, and maybe a few new licks, and found a comprehensive course in the art of playing the guitar. This book took me from fundimental guitar knowledge through esoteric music theory for the guitar. I was stunned with the amount of informantion that was covered in this volume; and with the understandable manner in which the material was presented.The author unlocked secrets of guitar and music theory that have escaped me all of my music life, and he tied it together for me in a way that my music instructors over the years have been unable to do. It seems as if he has boiled an entire college degree in guitar and music theory into one, accessable volume. You can take whatever you want from this book, from the most basic guitar instruction to the most advanced; and I suspect that you will get new things from it every time you read it. I know I will read and work with this book many times over as I continue to learn more about my playing and my instrument.
