Anyone know of any books on guitar instruction?

Hey, just wondering if anyone know's any good books that teach guitar playing. It should also include what the different chords and strings too, since looking at the guitar, it is a blank slate that I know nothing about.

 

I would suggest googling for instruction manuals, it will save you time and money.

 

thanks all. esp. the googling. I didn't even think of that.

 

im reading 'zen guitar' by philip toshio sudo. it's not about chords and guitar playing so much as it is about zen philosophy written in the language of guitar. it's very interesting and will give you a good direction no matter what level of skill you are at. i'd recommend it along with whatever informative guide of music theory you get.

 

You might want to check a good music shop for video instruction. It would cost a bit more, but there's a ton of 'em out nowadays. Just spend some time talking with a knowledgeable clerk to be sure you're getting something that's not too advanced, but I bet you'd have good luck with that. Just another option to keep in mind.

 

I am Learning from this book called "the Gutar Handbook" by Ralph Denyer. I find the charts usefull.

 

The one that helped me the most out of all of my years of playing was.....http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0825694000/104-5624790-9227154?v=glance&n=283155

 

Guitars for dummies.

 

I have my own instruction book and they do help but i've found the key is just practising until you get better and better, and yeah google is the best way, you'll find plenty =)

 

im reading that now. it is awsome.
