A Guitarist’s Guide to Reading Music, Vol. 1 (Printed)

Description

A Guitarist’s Guide to Reading Music uniquely approaches the subject of reading standard music. Using a string-by-string approach, the first volume focuses on the highest three (i.e., treble) strings.

Helping reinforce concepts are compositional assignments.

Topics include:

• Five most common note and rest values (i.e., whole, half, quarter, eighth, and sixteenth notes)
• Simple time signatures (i.e., meters)
• Natural, sharped, and flatted notes (i.e., accidentals)
• Key signatures
• Doubled notes (i.e., harmonies)
• Three-note chords
• Horizontal (i.e., single-string) and vertical (i.e., positional) reading

Suited for fingerstyle (e.g., classical) and flatpicking players. All playing levels.
