Owen Edwards, Andy James: writing a music book... feedback required

Andy James says:

with Owen Edwards (founder of guitar idol) and together with a load of stuff we are going to cover, are there any things that any of you would like to see in it that you think maybe missing in other publications? Thanks in advance for your suggestions.

Cheers

Owen Edwards says:

Further to Andy's posts we hope to produce a book/series of books designed for the Intermediate/Advanced rock/metal/shred guitarist who genuinely wants to take things to the next level and transform their plying.

Whilst we will cover all the advanced techniques as you would expect with Andy, our emphasis will combining and using all of these to make music that works in the real world - not just a bunch of scary trick guitar licks suitable for bedroom and guitar store shredders..

We will be looking at depth into phrasing and vibrato, posture, right left hand picking positions and attendant muting etc, gear - the whole lot!

But as Andy said there will be things that we haven't as yet thougt of so lets have some suggestions! As I have a deal with Apple Press in the UK and Harper Collins in the US we are hoping that this will get a major release as well: my first book is already out in the UK:

And soon to be in the US:

Be good to hear some feedback from quality players such as yourselves: whilst it is aimed at the beginner, it gets in depth by the end and the theory and posture/left/right positioning and coordination chapters are, I think, worth reading for all players. I have also structured it so that it makes a perfect book for teachers to use with new and aspiring rockers.
