You Can't Have Too Many Guitar Instruction Books!

If you're like me, you probably have a shelf full of guitar instruction books. A new book is like a treasure hunt. A lot of digging is involved. It may be hot and frustrating work. But if you stick with it, you hit gold. It may be a new lick. Maybe a new scale or set of chords. But all of the time and effort are worth it.

I hope that my reviews of these guitar instruction books will help you in your playing.
