I'm a self-tought guitar player.
Besides the book of chords, the big black Beatles book was where I learned most of my music. It's amazing some of the things they did and wrote at an age where I was still trying to figure out what to do after High School.
Chord progressions, basslines and lyrics that these "kids" did in their mid twenties is unbelievable.
