 | eBooks on Lead/Solo theory/technique? Hiya, Just wondering if anyone has any good eBook recommendations (preferably available on Google Play, or at the very least, Amazon) for theory and technique books to improve lead skills? I know there are a few that get thrown around that are hard copy, but I'd really like one electronically so I can look at it when I'm not doing anything at work or out and about. This is coming from someone absolutely terrible at lead, btw.  Thanks.

| Zakk Wylde - Pentatonic Hardcore (1 of 6) - YouTube This isn't an eBook, which is what you're wanting, but when you're at home you can view all six videos. This helped me a lot with my lead play. I have this to thank...a lot. |

| Thanks for that, I'll try to look at those sometime. But definitely still after eBooks if people have any suggestions.

| Have you heard of the Paul Baloche Worship DVD Series? I have the Electric Guitar DVD done by Paul and his lead guitarists Ben Gowell. It comes with a Free handbook in .pdf format along with a companion handbook. You can read about the DVD here. You can get the Handbooks free for download here. You can check out clips of Ben and Paul on YouTube here. |

| I have heard about it. Is the PDF comprehensive or just a few points? Thanks.

| The areas that the electric guitar workshop .pdf cover are: 1) Chords and Intervals (This area covers Maj and min triads heavily, plus 6ths and 3rds) 2) Scales and Excercises (This area covers scale patterns; Pent. Maj. min. Harmonic min. 3-Note per string scales, Warm up excercises, and Arpeggios. 3) Alternate Tunings 4) Tones (This area covers a general overview of effects chains, etc. really for beginner intermediate levels) Really, it took me more time to type this out, than to download and skim through it. It has a lot of interesting points. I guess it depends on what your definition of "comprehensive" is... |

| That sounds like plenty as it is. I like to read a lot about explanations and how things work. My main problem with videos is I get bored WAY too easily by them, whereas if I'm reading something I actually pay attention.

| Don't know if it's available on ebook or not, but Speed Mechanics for Lead Guitar, by Troy Stetina is the best book on developing your technique and lead skills. |

| Guitarist's Guide to Scales Over Chords: The Foundation of Melodic Soloing - Kindle edition by Chad Johnson. Arts & Photography Kindle eBooks @ Amazon.com. I'm working thru this one now. Not a lot of exercises, just theory and how and why to apply scales into a chord progression. |
