Author Description

This book is designed to be a guide to reading music in the open position of the guitar from beginning through advanced levels. In each study we work with a new note, adding it to the ones previously learned. In presenting the new notes, first it is written in the treble clef with its letter name above it. Then, its location on the guitar is given first in Tab, and then in traditional guitar nomenclature. The first two examples in each study present the notes in anon-metered way. The rest of the examples are brief etudes that use the new note in a melodic, intervallic and eventually harmonic context. This book provides a greatdaily practice regimen. A free companion audio recording is available online
