I was self-taught with tabs for many years, but until I really started learning theory, I did not improve as quickly as I am now. Now, I like to tear a song apart, and understand why certain notes and chords are used. These books are excellent in that regard, for more advanced players:

Thanks for the links. I am in the same situation you were in. I am self-taught, been playing for about 7 years, and can play a decent amount of songs with tabs but I don't know the theory at all. I think maybe I'll go through these lessons just to learn more of the theory, and then maybe take a look at that book.
