Hanon Exercises can be obtained from any decent music school. I got the updated and simplified version (thank god) from Yamaha Music School Subang Parade. If they teach Piano they should have it.

Pumping Nylon.

I read the customers reviews posted in Amazon.com on Pumping Nylon. Received good reviews but not for complete beginner. But I guess valuable addition to aspiring guitarist arsenal of instructional books.

Thanks for the info Rithrade

If only there was a book called "Ego Management".

I'd like to suggest :

Troy Stetina Series, ie
1) Speed Mechanics for Lead Guitar
plus for metalheads,

1a) Heavy Metal Rhythm Guitar vol 1 & 2
1b) Heavy Metal Lead Guitar vol 1 ( I heard vol 2 is quite tough... Malmsteen would sweat )

Maybe alternative to Hanon exercise & Pumping Nylon, I personally would get Speed Mechanics. IMHO, Pumping Nylon caters for classical and Hanon is piano... but can adapt the exercise.

i actually saw the "Speed Mechanics for Lead Guitar" in borders. Aiseh... i should have bought it. Now i would have to drive all the way to Penang again. I'll try to hunt for it during my kl trip la. Hopefully i'll find it.

How much is the speed machine in Borders?

Speed MACHINE ???
you mean Speed MECHANICS...

Have to wait for Rene to answer as she's the person that saw it in Borders Penang.
But Amazon.com lists for USD 14.16 new.

Haha..I keep thinking of MACHINE! Anyway, taiwan is selling for 435 NT and shipping cost for about 350NT which total 785NT convert to RM is RM82+

eek... i forgot to see the price oh

haha...so cute la u..everytime if the book i interested i surely will see how much one..

Thats quite cheap.
Amazon costs book USD 14.16 + shipping USD 11.98 = USD 26.14
which is equivalent to ~ RM (26.14 *2.5) = RM 91.50

How about to train your hearing?

aih... i didn't know that book was one of the list when i was there.

I have the perfect pitch & relative pitch Combo CDs. I dont use books so does not qualify for this thread I guess.

aiks.. don't say that ma. Don't use books still can share an opinion here.

Where u get those CDs? And when you listen to the cd, what materials u refer to? Is it its stated inside the cd?
