The Missing Method for Guitar Note Reading Series, Book 1 focuses solely on note-reading so guitarists at any level, from beginner to advanced, can learn how to read standard notation. It introduces you to everything you need to know in order to understand reading guitar music, even if you’ve never read music before. This easy, step-by-step approach starts with the basics and moves forward until you can read every note in the first position of the fretboard.
When you’ve finished, you’ll be a more confident player and a more competent musician. Then, if you’d like to take your skill set further, continue on through the series, learning to read every note in each position of the neck. Each book can be used in conjunction with any other method book, by itself, with a teacher, or on your own.
