After yesterday's survey of the binder, today it made sense to me to go through the four magazine files that I've accumulated in the last year that have resources for this project.
I emailed myself today a list of 6 things that I felt were logical "next steps" for the binder. They were:
1) Figure out dates, and find PDF files of all of the Richard Lloyd Guitar World columns.
2) Find a PDF of Zakk Wylde's Guitar Boot Camp lesson from GW.
3) Print another PDF copy of Vai's 30 Hour Guitar Workout.
4) Go through the magazines I've already set aside and copy the articles I want to use.
5) Make a list of the books I want to incorporate (and the reasons why)
6) Start looking into genre breakdowns & special units.
With that list as a touchstone, here's what I got done tonight:
- I figured out that the Richard Lloyd columns ran from August of 2007 to sometime in 2009. Best I could do without tearing apart the boxes I've already packed.
- I found PDFs of all of the columns Lloyd included in his 2 volume Alchemical Guitarist DVD series, and would have printed them out, but my printer decided that it would be a good time to jam right about then.
- I found the Zakk Wylde lesson online, and printed that off for inclusion in the binder.
- I re-printed the Vai workout.
- I went through the magazines I've already pulled and sorted them into logical categories (lead, rhythm, artist studies, important songs, etc.)
- I went through the books that have found their way into the magazine files thus far. Here's what has made the cut:
The Guitar Lesson Goldmine books for Acoustic Guitar, Blues Guitar, and Rock Guitar
Music Theory For Guitarists by Tom Kolb
Guitar Aerobics by Troy Nelson
The Complete Guitarist by Richard Chapman
I've also got a Hal Leonard book on Blues Guitar that I will include. I'll probably look into Fretboard Freedom by Troy Nelson as well, along with the Goldmine books on Jazz & Country, just to round things off.
That book list doesn't include individual artist studies on Zeppelin, Chuck Berry, Jimi Hendrix, and others that will definitely have a place in my practice binder.
