I heard good things about them but wanted to know if any of you have used them and what your thoughts are. From what I read, the first book is more theory and he 2nd is technique... Is that true? How far in theory does the first one go? Are both books independent or do I need to strat with the first one? You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

I have both of them David and to be honest I don't know how much a player that is already at your level would benefit from them. The first book really is mostly theory like you said. The second book is in my mind more or less a collection of licks and excercises. He basically breaks down the different techniques and gives you excercises for every one to get your technique going. I think for a beginner it would be a great thing but I don't know how much of the content of the books would be something a player at your level would find beneficial. My two cents.

Thanks for the answer man! I wish I could see a copy.. I'll go to Guitar Center sometime this week although I don't have the one here has it... I'll check. Any others have any experience with these books? Oh and also, I'm really not that good of a player. I just fake it well.. But thanks! You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

The first one I don't remember... :S You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

The first one is more basic so I think that you should go for the second one but both are great books for students and instructors. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

Guthrie is a great player, And regardless of what your looking for out of this, It wouldnt hurt to see how he approaches the basics. Let alone, the advanced techniques aswell. So I dont think it would hurt to get the first book. Buy them both You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

Extra book cannot hurt, and surely there is some useful stuff in both of them. My two cents mate. Cheers. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

He is a fine picker, so book should be cool! You just reminded me to order new Mclaughlin's DVD!:) You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

If you are beginner looking to expand theory and technical knowledge, I think you can benefit from it to certain extent. I am not aware of the price but if you fit in beginner theory and have $ to spare I recommend you go for it - you can only gain knowledge from it You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.
