 Theory for Guitarists October 1, 2008
As the title suggests this book concentrates on music specifically for guitar. It would probably be smart to have some knowledge in basic theory before trying to tackle this book. A good free website for a quick rundown of the basics is musictheory.net. There are thirteen chapters which contain information on intervals, triads, major and minor scales, pentatonic scales, chord construction and the like. There are quizzes to help you learn the information. The book also includes a CD with audio examples. Overall, this is a good guitar theory book as long as you have an understanding of basic theory.

Mr. Kolb's style of writing is highly conducive to learning music theory for the guitar. Whereas most music theory books I've looked at have been rather dry and focus more on piano, this book focuses solely on guitar and has given me several "a-ha!" moments. Highly recommended!

Tells you all about music theory as it relates to guitar.
This won't give you any riffs. That's not the point of the book. It explains music theory as it applies to the guitar and gives you a framework in which to create those riffs. It works very well as a resource. This is not a "play all the stuff in here and you'll get better at guitar book". It delves into some fairly complex territory, so you'll have to think deeply at times, but it's well-written and it serves to advance your understanding of music.
Recommended as a a supplement to any beginning/intermediate "learn guitar" book.
 not for a beginner or anything close to it June 13, 2008

You know how when you go into a guitar shop you see racks full of pamphlets with nothing but chord and scale diagrams? Well thats what this "book" is. Customer reviews on Amazon have helped me find a lot of cool books, but this is one time where I got suckered. This pamphlet is 103 pages long, and has very sparse amount of text between diagrams, which you will only understand if you already have a working knowledge of music theory.

This book will provide good information for a beginning guitar player. I still have a long way to go in what appears to be a long process.
