(Music Sales America). This book has been specially created for any
guitarist who wants to learn note reading, be they beginners or more
advanced players who have neglected this part of their musicianship. It
starts with the very basics of written music and progressively
introduces notes on each string one at a time until all notes in the
"open position" (first five frets) of the guitar have been mastered, and
up to 8th note rhythm subdivisions have been learned and applied. Also
covered are sharps, flats, key signatures, accidentals, repeats and
more. Each step includes practical exercises, handy tips and tricks and
a simple repertoire for students to put their reading skills into
practice. Spiral open so it lays flat no matter what page you're on.
