I couldn't find that book in Borders (bookstore) which is not that surprising I suppose.. it's not exactly a common book to find in a general (no matter how big the store is) book store. I did grab something light and easy to read to start off with though. Then if I need something in more depth I can look for that other book.

The book I did end up buying was "The Everything: Rock & Blues Guitar Book" by Marc Schonbrun. It has everything from the basics (eg. chords and scales) to licks and tricks (eg finger tapping, sweep picking) etc. It's a fairly basic book though, so I wont be wading through endless theory lessons to find what I am looking for. If I had never played any solo/lead guitar this would be a great book to start with.. but as it is, I've been playing for over 16 years now.. so hopefully this book will fill in a lot of gaps I have, which it already has in some ways. It takes a very plain-english, conversational style approach.. so may be there are things here in the book I can learn that I haven't been able to learn because of the style of teaching...

....only time will tell.
