Excellent
Tells you all about music theory as it relates to guitar.

This won't give you any riffs. That's not the point of the book. It explains music theory as it applies to the guitar and gives you a framework in which to create those riffs. It works very well as a resource. This is not a "play all the stuff in here and you'll get better at guitar book". It delves into some fairly complex territory, so you'll have to think deeply at times, but it's well-written and it serves to advance your understanding of music.

Recommended as a a supplement to any beginning/intermediate "learn guitar" book.

not for a beginner or anything close to it
You know how when you go into a guitar shop you see racks full of pamphlets with nothing but chord and scale diagrams? Well thats what this "book" is. Customer reviews on Amazon have helped me find a lot of cool books, but this is one time where I got suckered. This pamphlet is 103 pages long, and has very sparse amount of text between diagrams, which you will only understand if you already have a working knowledge of music theory.

Music theory for guitar
This book will provide good information for a beginning guitar player. I still have a long way to go in what appears to be a long process.
