Another good book which I think is essential is ...
The Guitar Handbook by Ralph Denyer
This book has everything you will need to know about playing the guitar, and I thoroughly reccomend it !!!.
I`ve been playing (guitar and later bass) since i was a teenager and I got this book when I was a music student and it has been so helpful, and a useful guide on not only playing the guitar, but the history of the instrument, and the people who innovated the guitar as we know and hear it today. It also has everything you need to know on how to take care and maintain your instrument, and how they work, and even how to record and write your own music !!!.
One thing I was wondering is, what style of music do you want to play, because there are some really good book and software packages that can help you learn your instrument !!!.
Good luck with your new guitar !!!.
