5 out of 5 stars Really good reference   May 14, 2007

I own other music theory books for guitar..but this one is really good since it covers lots of subjects such as intervals, inverted intervals, harmonizing a melody with triads, drop-two chords, the modes,etc.
It's an excellent reference book.

I strongly recommend this book for all guitar players and teachers. It is the most complete, logically presented and concise guitar theory presentation I've have ever seen. At $14.95 this book is well worth it and will be a text you will use throughout you lifetime. Teachers should recommend this book to thier students.

This is a great book for the serious player and answers various issues and how to adapt them with theory. A great tool for the serious minded players who are developing their skills in theory.

I own several books on Guitar Theory and this one I think is one of the two best books I own. Any guitarest at any level will benifit by this book. My only wish is that a CD would be sold with the book making it even better. over all money well spent.
