    There's a new guitar book on Amazon titled "Geeking Out on Guitar Tab: Advanced Techniques Uncovered." tinyurl.com/2pfde5sw The book has some decent lessons, but it's not perfect. There are a few chapters that focus on Sonny Sharrock licks, Allan Holdsworth licks, John McLaughlin licks, plus a few mentions of Slonimsky's famous 'Thesaurus of Scales and Melodic Patterns.' The lessons cover a wide range of topics that involve mostly advanced soloing techniques. Plus there's a second half of the book that has some pretty wild fictional stories and poems that are music-related, but they're pretty mature and have some adult language -- just a heads up in case that's not your thing. The author is not a professional transcriber or anything, but the 8th and 16th-note patterns are solid and you can interpret them any way you want. The book's divided into two parts and the lessons are pretty short and to the point. They don't follow any particular order, but they give you what you need to get better at playing guitar. In the introduction, the author explains he's a big fan of geeking out on technical guitar licks given in tablature form, so he's included some rare licks and musical phrases. If you're an intermediate or advanced guitar player looking to improve your rock, metal, or fusion soloing skills, you might want to give "Geeking Out on Guitar Tab" a try. It's not a perfect book, but it's got some great material in it.

    If you're interested in guitar-related material, "Fretboard Adventures" (tinyurl.com/5ep39j9t ) on Amazon might be worth checking out. It's a unique book that combines guitar lessons with fictional stories. The book is divided into two parts, with the first part offering concise lessons aimed at intermediate and advanced players. The lessons cover a range of guitar techniques and styles, from hybrid picking to finger-tapping, and are presented in a clear and easy-to-follow manner. The author draws on his experience as a guitarist to offer practical advice and tips that will help you take your playing to the next level.
    But "Fretboard Adventures" is not just a guitar lesson book. The second half of the book features fictional stories that revolve around music and the guitar. The stories are written in a minimalist style similar to that of Hemingway and Bukowski and are sure to entertain; but they might also shock you with their adult themes and language. While the stories may not be for everyone, they provide a unique insight into the world of music and the magic of the guitar.
    Personally, I found the stories to be more enjoyable than the lesson sections. However, both parts of the book are well-written and offer something different for guitar enthusiasts. The lessons are concise and informative, while the stories provide a creative and imaginative escape into the world of music.
    "Fretboard Adventures" is a great book for anyone interested in guitar-related material. It's a unique combination of guitar lessons and fictional stories that will entertain and inspire you. Just be aware that the stories contain adult language and themes. tinyurl.com/5ep39j9t

    Book review: "How to Become a Guitar Player from Hell: Tips and Advice for the Modern Guitarist" (bit.ly/2q2yYwB ) is an instructional guitar book that lives up to its title. Written by an experienced guitar player with 20 years of experience, this book provides a wealth of knowledge and tips for guitarists of all levels. The author's passion for the instrument is evident throughout the book and it's clear that the author wants to share his knowledge and help others become better guitar players.
    The book covers a wide range of guitar techniques, such as arpeggios, finger tapping, artificial and muted harmonics, exotic scales and chords, modes, "outside" playing, and more. The author explains these techniques in simple terms that anyone can understand, and provides extensive musical examples in tablature form, so no traditional music reading skills are necessary.
    The book also covers topics that are tangential to guitar playing but still of interest to guitarists, such as how to find band members, taking care of your hands, how to get gigs, and more. The author's "insider" information is particularly valuable, as it includes techniques and strategies that have never appeared elsewhere.
    One of the most interesting parts of the book is the author's "never before published methods" such as the "wah-wham" technique, unorthodox tremolo bar manipulations, and out-of-the-box thinking exercises. These techniques are not only challenging and fun to learn, but also add a unique and personal touch to the guitar playing.
    Overall, "How to Become a Guitar Player from Hell" is an excellent instructional book for guitarists of all levels. The author's passion for the instrument and wealth of experience shine through in the book's comprehensive coverage of guitar techniques and strategies. The inclusion of tangential topics such as how to find band members and get gigs is also a nice touch. This book is a great resource for anyone looking to take their guitar playing to the next level. bit.ly/2q2yYwB
