Musically speaking ...

 

I'm waiting on a few, but here's what I've got:

I've got another book that I can't remember the title of that I got at Borders ... and a small stack of assorted Guitar Mags .... but I was just curious what everyone's got.

musically I have 'the fender book' 'Cobain Journals' 'Dear Boy: the life of Keith Moon' 'Dirty Blonde: Courtney Love' 'The Story of CRASS' and 'John Peel: Margrave of the Marshes;

I think that's about it, I don't have any 'teach yourself' type stuff. Most of my library is fiction and the above were all gifts.

Actually, I picked up the Level 2 HoB one at a Goodwill for $2 last summer. They had a small stack of them ... and they were all sealed. I had to buy one to see if it was any good. It's alright ... I played through a bit of it once or twice ... but it's gone pretty much untouched. I might have to run through it again.

 

I just got the top 3 in a small lot of stuff I bought over at TGP ... there were included.

The only instructional book I've got is "Sheets of Sound" by Jack A Zucker. I have a bunch of Metallica and Queen tab books from back when us kids had to buy our tabs instead of downloading them from the internet, but I don't really use them anymore.

I have loads of tab books but for learning I'm mostly using Essential Jazz Lines in the style of Wes Montgomery, Essential Jazz Lines in the style of John Coltrane, L'espirit Manouche and Carl Verheyen's Intervallic Guitar System book. I'm trying to learn some blues / jazz type leads but it's kinda difficult.

In the library we have...

-about six years worth of New Musical Express weekly newspapers. It's great reading back through them. There's also a few Rolling Stone issues in my pile of music clippings that goes back over the last 15 years.

-A variety of biographies on various musicians.

-Some of the journalist-authored compendiums like Psychotic Reactions and Carburettor Dung by Lester Bangs, The Dark Stuff by Nick Kent and a book by Charles Shaar Murray that I've totally forgotten the title of.

-A book by Charles Granata on the making of Pet Sounds. It's got a fair bit of technical info in there and it's great reading.

-A few TAB books: Oasis, Radiohead, Manic Street Preachers, Suede.

-'The SMiths: A Visual Documentary' by Johnny Rogan. Very cool.

-A few jazz books, most notably 'The Martin Taylor Guitar Method'.

-Last and not least by a long way: The Guitar Player Repair Guide by Dan Erlewine. Absolutely brilliant book :)

-All my course texts for my music degree.

If you saw my bedroom, you'd understand why I had to evict the bed two years ago. There's just no more room for anything else. Books, amps, guitars, albums, penguins and elephant collections...
