Learn to play guitar better

I’ve been playing guitar for about 5 years but I just recently taught myself how to read music. I bought this book and have been slowly going through scales and songs and I am almost done :] There are 7 of these books so after I finish this one I will defiantly have enough to keep me busy. Also one of my friends plays the drums so I think we will start practicing together. The best way to get better at the guitar is keep one in your hands as much as possible.
