Fretboard Roadmaps has some really good ideas - teaches the I IV V chord patterns all over the fretboard really well based on strings 6,5 1,2 and 3. Assumes you know your string 5 and 6 moveable chords, but then teaches you the moveable chords in the treble strings. Some of the descriptions are very brief, and some of the legends to the diagrams are too short/ or ambigious. I got the version without the CD - big mistake. Buy Fretboard Roadmaps but make sure you buy the versions with the CD. I am sure that it would get a bigger score from me if it had come with the CD in the first place.
