Wonderful book 
This is an absolute must have book for guitar players who have learned to play guitar without an instructor. This book is like sitting down with an instructor and learning alot of things like playing in gigs, playing by ear, what to learn, elc … All the things you always wanted to know from somebody that knows and the book has the tips you really need to know. This isn't so much a book about learning techniques, except it has a super good layout on learning the pentitonic scales. I have read Lots and lots of guitar books and have been playing for twenty years. I rate this as the one book every student guitar player should read. This book is great whether you are a folk musican like me, or a heavy rock player. You will like this book, there aren't many others like it anywhere.

Beginner book
This is an excellent book, my only problem with it is nowhere in the name does it say beginner, this book will teach you your major and minor scales, and all your pentatonic, hammers, pulls, vibrato, slides, and bends, so if you don't know that stuff you need to. Great excercises, how to read tab, chords all that good stuff you already know if you can play. I would'nt call these things tips so much as necessity, I had the impression from the title that it would teach me all these neat tips, and secrets but that's not the case.

Best Guitar Book I've Found
If you are tired of memorizing chords and tab and want to learn how to take that foundation into making sounds you want to hear, this is the best book I've found. Mead talks about the essential skills of training your ear (with practical exercises), about becoming a good rhythm player (even lead players play rhythm 80 percent of the time), the pieces that make up a guitar player's voice, and playing and using the pentatonic scales.

This book won't introduce you to the guitar and it won't transform you into Joe Satriani, but it will help you find your own unique voice.
Good guitar learning book, not to complicated. Anyone could use it 
I've read a few guitar how to books, this was a fairly good one. You don't need to know how to read music and beginners to moderate skilled players would benefit from it. It is pretty straight forward, the meat and potatoes for me was the part where the author gets to the basic cord and scales that you »must know«. A good resource that you can go through fairly quickly and pick up some good skills. The CD has some tracks on it that are useful as well if you have a CD play handy.

Wonderful Book –- Short, Sweet, Practical
I bought my copy on the street, with the cover ripped off of it, for five bucks. By far the best guitar book I've ever seen. Invaluable as a reference tool, I would say. Besides the writing itself, the book is designed, formatted, laid out really well. Even down to font and the line spacing, this book could not be easier to read or to use. At a total of 117 pages, it's the perfect size, too. David Mead gives you very practical, immediately useful information about the guitar. He figures that the best way to impart this information to you is on a need-to-know basis, and he sticks to that policy pretty strictly. It's an excellent, very user-friendly approach, and you appreciate his brevity and conciseness. Get the book.
