Here are some commonly recommended resources in the Theory and Technique Forum. If possible, please see if your question is answered by any of these resources (particularly the online resources) before posting:

Method Books:

Fretboard Logic SE-Volumes I and II

Fretboard Logic Volume 3

Fretboard Logic, in short, is a comprehensive resource for Guitar Mechanics, built mostly on the concept of the CAGED Sequence(a great way to get around and understand the fretboard). The third volume expands into music theory as it relates to the guitar, though the first two volumes contain nuggets of such information. As CheshireCat likes to say: "Its not the last guitar book you will ever need, its the first."

Questions about FBL? Best person to ask is CheshireCat.
