I copied part of this from another thread for more comments on this book you can check it out. The best thing I thought about it was how it complimented the fundamental 2 lessons and really helped me to understand what was going on as a beginner comming into music theory.

This is really a great book! While reading it I noticed that it really compliments the Fundamental lessons. The lessons really helped me to understand the more complicated book and vice versa. It is easy to read and understand however after learning the fundamentals it made the book make much more sense.

Also it has pages about hardware, sound equipment, special effects, and recording. It goes into guitar maintenance, repair and customizing. It is really a great book I enjoyed reading it and learned a lot from it. Like fundamentals 2 I am sure I will go back to the book often for reference.
