Start with Noteboat's book. It's a good one:

I agree with Nick - the book has been written with the guitar in mind, you don't have to pretend you're playing piano!

I started with nothing - and I've still got most of it left.

Unless you're like me, and try to play a piano like a guitar... :twisted:

Henry Garza, Saul Hudson, and Darrell Abbott could not be here tonight, but they all had sex and are proud to announce the birth of their two-headed baby, Rodya S. Thompson.

I really liked it when ELP did that - it's on the tune "Take a Pebble".

Keith Emerson fingered the chords on a grand piano, and pressed the keys down so the dampers were raised over those strings... but no so far that the hammers hit the strings. Greg Lake then stuck his head in the piano and strummed.
