Note Reading Series Book 1
Unlock the Power of Note Reading in 9th Position
Many guitar methods touch on note reading in the open position, but that’s where it ends. This leaves most guitarists having to figure out the rest of the fretboard on their own, which can be tedious, time-consuming, and downright frustrating. But not anymore.
Learn Every Note
With this second book in the series you will master every note in 9th position (frets 9-12), in every key.
Also Included:
Review open and 5th positions
More Rhythm Practice to Solidify your skills
Practice and Play in every key
Explore Songs
Each lesson comes with ample practice exercises and sample songs to cement the knowledge before moving on to the next lesson. Streaming audio files are included so you can hear each exercise and song.
Practice Keys and Scales
With each key you will learn a variety of scales including one and two octaves scales, relative minor, and thirds.
You'll also continue to learn even more about the Circle of Fifths and how it’s used.
Develop Confidence
The benefits of learning note reading extend beyond the ability to read sheet music. You'll find that your sight reading skills and understanding of the fretboard will grow too, making you a more confident and competent musician.
