Cool, it seems like years since joel first announced his book, ill definatly buy a copy. I think a cool title would be "The ultimate guide to weilding a guitar and administering pWNnage" or "The ultimate guide to smiting peons with your axe" yeah!

LOL.... you guys are insane. haha.
Yea it has been years. I finished it last year. I spent all last year dealing with publishers trying to land it. Now it is time for release. I'm putting together the final stuff and I promise this book will slay (I need to add that word to the metal vocab haha).
So, is anyone an artist? I'm looking for a dude to do the cover??

Not really, just the title, that it is by me, and maybe a catch phrase on it like "everything you could ever need to know to master the guitar"...... IDK??? Be creative. Have fun.

oooo post 3!
could I suggest removing "for rock/metal guitarists from the cover...
this book contains EVERYTHING about guitar remember..its not just for us metal heads....
that would put at least 50% of people who saw it off in my honest opinion.... otherwise... spot on
