Since I got ill and had to stop work (this is the first xmas since god knows how long I've not been dashing round doing gigs) I've had a lot of time to practice guitar. I play acoustic/folky style guitar. I wondered about getting Eric Roche's book.

I've glanced in it, but it looks a very heavy read. I'm not sure if I'm smart/clever enough at concentrating, to cope with a lot of music theory.

Does anybody else have other suggestion more straightforward suggestion to improve guitar technique - or have they tried the late great Eric's book?
