If this is considered spam, please feel free to delete but I thought some of you guitar players might want to know about this book. There's an overview and listing of chapters for more information.

I'd be happy to answer any questions people might have about it, what it covers, etc. 

It's kind of weird to have worked on projects for months or years and have them all hit at once, but at least they're finally hitting the world!

Thanks Craig.

I speak for myself; your attention to SONAR is very much appreciated.

I hope you sell a truckload of these.

very best regards,
mike

Not spam at all as far as I am concerned. This is probably good information and much welcome. My only complaint is I am a keyboard player. We always lose out to the guitar guys ;-)

 
I copy/pasted the isbn # 9781435457683 into the Amazon advanced search and came up with: http://www.amazon.com/Guitarists-Guide-SONAR-Craig-Anderton/dp/1435457684/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1321302138&sr=1-1
 
I am confused because in the book description it says this:
 
 
As more and more guitarists begin to use amp simulation software, it becomes increasingly important for them to have a tool that will help them to get the most out of it. That tool has arrived in the form of THE GUITARIST'S GUIDE TO SONAR. Designed for guitarists of varying levels of experience with music software, this book hones in on Cakewalk SONAR products. Using straightforward, easy-to-follow tutorials, the book will instruct guitarists on how they can use DAWs like SONAR, both live and in the studio. Coverage includes discussions of Sonar LE, Sonar Studio Edition, Sonar Producer Edition, Sonar Home Studio 7, and Sonar Home Studio 7XL. The content is concise yet thorough, making this a valuable resource for any guitarist who wants to use SONAR to strengthen their sound and recordings.
 
However, on the link you posted it references X1 and Effects chains 2.0
 
Are there different books? If there are I want to be sure I get the most current edition at the best price, which is why I looked at Amazon... to see if it was cheaper there. Someone might be upset if they buy something after reading this thread only to find it out of date. Perhaps I am just confused... well, no doubt, I am confused.
 
Thanks Craig. I'll probably want this but I still want the latest edition at the best price.

Sorry, no Kindle version!

Looks great Craig and just the thing to get a few guitar slingers I know to buy in to the DAW concept. Hard to get these guys to even use a stomp box.

Any idea of the book size? Strange question but the format of the Scott Garrigus X1 book is excellent for soft cover due to its size. It lays open and flat so you can read and use your hands at the same time.

Sorry, no Kindle version!

 
I saw that, I put in my request but will likely go ahead and buy the softcover. I think it will probably be a very helpful book. Maybe someone will come out with a pamphlet (or flash cards) for drummers/pizza delivery people... .. hehe..

Cool Craig, Thanks for posting! Not spam at all. I will be buying and reading it in December as a gift to myself. Can't wait!

+1, love Scott's book too!

congrats.  Your input to Sonar in the various articles has always been a great read.
