Guitar Books at GC

I was looking through some of these guitar technique books at the local guitar center, I was wondering if they are really that helpful. Which ones do you reccomend?

I am sure some are really good and some suck. This answer is probably not what you want to hear, but the answer is that it probably depends on the book. I bought an intro to jazz book from GC written by Jody Fisher that I am finding to be very helpful to me with respect to learning music in general and not specifically jazz. Sorry I cannot be of more help. My experience though is that the few books I have purchased to help me learn guitar have been pretty helpful.

I found these helpful..
Speed Mechanics for Lead Guitar..Troy Stetina
Arpeggios for the Modern Guitarist..Stephen Ross
Rock Discipline...John Petrucci
The Guitar Grimoir/The Exercise Book..Carl Fischer

Not so good...
At A Glance series/ DVD Guitar Shred
Metal Method...Doug Marks (DVD set)
