This book is awesome. It was first introduced to me by an accomplished classical player, but I'm a metalhead and I love it. It covers all the keys, all over the neck, with lots of great sight reading exercises and drills that are designed (and well designed) by a guitar player for the guitar. Also, there's text about how to go about playing the book, and I can testify personally that if you follow his method, you will quickly learn a lot about the guitar. This is not some hackish "we have cataloged every possible combination of notes on the guitar and therefore we are awesome" book. This is quality advice and teaching from a real player. I have played guitar for over 15 years, in lots of different environments, including studying classical guitar in college with professionals and touring with death metal bands. I can't think of a serious player that I wouldn't recommend this book to (and most of them know about it already).
Great Book!
