Gozo Guitar Lessons

Books by Rob Galley.

Practice books for guitar, bass and ukulele, and a guide to writing songs. Written and designed by me, published independently and sold as paperbacks on Amazon.

Guitar Tab & Chord Book

Blank guitar tab and chord box pages for your favourite songs, ideas and exercises

One hundred pages of blank guitar tablature and chord boxes, to write down how to play your favourite songs, riffs, exercises and more. Think of it as less of a book and more of a practice tool that keeps all your material in one place, and fits in your guitar case.

It includes a guide to reading chord boxes and guitar tablature properly, with some useful practice tips, and room to write notes so you get the most out of your practice.

Blank tab and chord books

Manuscript books for writing down riffs, licks, solos, exercises and songs, one instrument each. Each one is a paperback with a clean, easy-to-use layout.

Prices and delivery are shown on Amazon. The links open Amazon.co.uk, which delivers to Malta and worldwide; the books are also listed on Amazon’s other stores. See all my books on my Amazon author page.

I create books that make learning music clear, fun, and approachable. Whether you’re just starting out or looking to deepen your skills, my goal is to break things down in a way that actually makes sense: no fluff, just real tools you can use to play better and enjoy the process.
