Pete–
Being “old-school”, I find the written versions to be the best. I have three- Vol 1, Vol 2, and the Circle of Fifths. All separate paperback books. They’re ~$15 each via Amazon- (free shipping w/Prime).
Not knowing “where you are” in your guitar-journey, I might suggest just getting Volume 1 for now (~$15), just to see where you “land”. Note– the little “self-quizzes” at the end of each chapter are very helpful…. James Shipway has a very “light” manner in his teaching-style. He keeps it fun, while still pushing you a bit.
Lastly, I REALLY like to have the printed version. It allows me to scribble-down notes, comments, and/or questions at the top and bottom of the page, let’s me book-mark to where I left off, and probably most importantly, it lets me easily highlight any sticky points or issue that I need to go back to— (and there WILL be some). I also put the little earmark-tab things on whatever pages to instantly find and go to things I want to go BACK to.
(Side-note(s)—- Vol 2 is “tougher”- (but maybe more rewarding— because of that). In many cases, the Chapters “build upon the previous one”.
The Circle of Fifths book is quite informative for about the first half of it or so, then maybe a little repetitive(?). But…. the first half alone is waaay worth the $15 or so. Even if you don’t buy this particular book—- LEARN the Circle of Fifths if you don’t already know what it is and what it can REALLY do for you.
