Recommended Guitar Books:
Looking through my guitar theory books most are focused on electric guitar and improvising.
- Music Theory for Guitarists: Everything You Ever Wanted to Know But Were Afraid to Ask – This is a good general theory book for guitar.
- 100 Most Popular Songs for Fingerpicking Guitar: Solo Guitar Arrangements – A nice selection of popular songs for solo fingerstyle.
- 500 Greatest Songs of All Time: Guitar Classics Volume 2 – A lot of good songs in one book.
- The Practical Guide to Modern Music Theory for Guitarists – Really goes into depth about modes and answers a lot of theoretical questions.
- The Inner Game of Fingerstyle Guitar – I’m currently reading this. I’ll give a review when I’m done.
- Ted Greene — Chord Chemistry – This helped me increase my chord vocabulary. There may be better books for this now but it’s what I had at the time.
- Reading Studies for Guitar – This helped me learn to sight read standard notation on the guitar. Still a great series of exercises for anyone serious about reading music on guitar and willing to put in the regular practice.
