Title: Good advice--silly book title
Review: I'm not sure why the publisher called this book "100 Guitar Tips Someone Should Have Told You." What the author has to offer are not tips, but rather very good advice on how to approach learning rock guitar (learn mostly by ear, he says--it's not as hard as you think). His focus is mostly on lead guitar.This book is meant to be read from cover-to-cover--the actual excercises are minimal. Some of the material is weak (do we really need to be told that new strings make for better guitar tone?), but the core advice is brilliant, and the writing is very engaging throughout.I'm a self-taught beginner/intermediate player who fell into the scale trap that Mead warns about--I can play a lot of scales very well and learn material from tab fairly easily, but I've only just begun to figure out how to use what I know to make my own music. If I'd had this book earlier, I would be much further along.
