  • Theory...

    Can anyone recommend a good book/website that goes from beginning to the end and not just something that touches on the basic diatonic scales?

    I'm sure that there will be others to give you advice but here is mine:

    Many years ago, I had a copy of the Metal Method series by Doug (Marks?). It was a great start because it showed you major scales/patterns and explained the modes in an easy to understand way. I may get laughed off the site but it opened my eyes and helped me understand the patterns of the scales and modes.
    Give it a try at "www.metalmethod.com" it might be a good starting point.
    No honey, I have always had this Jackson....

            Troy Stetina series is good
            Totally Guitar is nice too

            check guitar websites like this one

            Learn how to play jazz guitar in a fun and easy way. Be inspired by our free guitar lessons on chords, scales, arpeggios & more. Download your free eBook now!


            most of the time I find what I have to find on the web ... I bought some chords book a while ago and learned them all, that's pretty much the only book I've used ... and totally guitar, but that was a gift and it's real nice. They present a bunch of guitar companies, how to maintain your guitar, and obviously guitar techniques. There's a section on Rock, Jazz, Metal, Classic, Blues and so on

                Amazon claims to have some used ones starting at $2.49 - best money you will ever spend on learning guitar.

                    I agree. I recently purchased levels 1-6 and have found it very intuative. I think Doug does a good job of explaining scale, modal and chord theory. Levels 1 and 2 really aren't necessary unless you are just staring out, but 3 and 4 give you a good intro and 5 and 6 get down to more detail. check it out. It is relatively cheap and well worth your while.
                    Good deals with:
