That is a good idea, done. It is geared towards rock/metal guys in the technique areas (even though I cover stuff like slap guitar and etc..) but it is a very general book that appeals to pretty much anyone. Even a bassist could read this book and it would be well worth their time.
Thx 4 the feedback.

Pretty cool, although the fonts could use some work.

The only suggestion I'd make would be to get rid of the drop shadow. It makes everything look pretty unprofessional. Other than that, it's probably fine, particularly if you're going to self-publish.

Well.. If you wan't to change the font here is a site with some crazy fonts: simplythebest.net/fonts/fonts_a.htmlI also second that getting rid of "for rock/metal guitar" is a great idea. I'd NEVER buy a book that has anything to do with "play rock/metal guitar".

That's fucking awesome. I'll proofread it for free if you want, Joel -- I'm pretty good at that stuff. (Yes, I'm serious, but it's a selfish thing to offer.)

I definitely appreciate it. I'm having my wife do it though. She is studying her PHD in English and has about 15 years of English grammar study under her belt. I didn't know my own grammar was so poor until she started hacking the piss out of it! She edited the manuscript and I made corrections last week. Now she is going through it again and totally destroying it. lol Soooooooooo close to being finished. 50,000 words (25 chapters) is a lot to proof read. I just want it to be absolutely perfect. Not to mention I redid the whole audio section last week. I need a vacation!
