 | Rhythm Guitar: The Complete Guide
Buy new: $12.21 / Used from: $7.99 I think that from the entire list this is the most important and complete. There's lot's of chords and rhythm patterns. If you are willing to take the effort and spend at least one year of a dedicated study, you will end up being a solid rhythm player. My advice: If you have money to buy just one book, buy this one.

 | Mel Bay's Deluxe Encyclopedia of Guitar Chord Progressions by Johnny Rector
Buy new: $22.49 / Used from: $25.50 A very good book on Jazz chord progressions. Not very exciting but is to be taken serious. With Ronny Lee's and Mel bay's book you will end up with an extraordinary background in chords. Also, have in mind that this means several years of practice.
|
 | Mel Bay Jazz Guitar Method by Ronny Lee
Buy new: $11.66 / Used from: $8.93 The second part of the book is the most complete chord system that i've seen, it deals with chords and substitutions. It can be used along with the Mel Bay Chord system but beware, is as boring as the other. Still, I strongly believe that a solid chord working fundation wotrhs the sacrifice.
