was that necessary? The don't make them yet but when they come out, the Complete Assholes Guide series should work well for you

Nice, Rui
LOL

Alex, Rui was only kidding. Don't spit out some random stuff, just take it like a joke like most other people did. Make a suggestion to the poster, and if that isn't what you are doing, try to keep it relevant.

So as not to be hypocritical, I think that the more knowledge you have, the faster you will progress in music. Try to look at reviews of the books, and take some lessons so you can take in as much as possible. Keep up the good work!

Ok some may have thought that I was stating that books is the only way to go. I agree that playing guitar with others is helpful in getting better but if you don't understand what you are doing to start with then you really gain nothing. You have to be able to read music, get the root of the note, be able to confer what you are doing with the people that you are playing along with. I started when I was 16 and found myself doing the same old thing over and over because I didn't want to take the time to learn how music was created to start with. Now that i am 46 I am taking the time to learn from books, inter-net, other people and by doing this I am better than I was at 16. By the way I quit playing for a very long time, I just picked it up again and now I understand what is going on.
