If it wasn't for the two Arnie Berle books I bought around the same time I bought my archtop, I probably woulnd't have "stuck to it" until now. Arnie's books are concise, simple and easy to use. I still refer to them from time to time.
Chords & Progressions For Jazz & Popular Guitar
Patterns Scales & Modes for Jazz Guitar.
I also have New Guitar Techniques for Sight Reading.
All three books gave me a good base to build on and would recommend any or all of them to any beginner player.
