Learn how to read sheet music and gain a better command of your fretboard in the process! The Missing Method for Guitar Note Reading series works progressively from one string to the next, through every key. Each book moves up a position on the neck so you can master the entire fretboard, from frets 0 to 20!
Learn to read music and develop a deeper understanding of your fretboard with this first book in the note reading series. You'll start with the basics of note reading and then learn to play every note in open position (frets 0-4). Then you'll learn about accidentals and learn how to read and play every note in open position all 12 keys.
Move beyond the basics of note reading. Many guitar players start with a method book that teaches them how to reads a few notes, but most of those books don’t take you any further. Missing Method 2 fixes that problem. Discover for yourself what those other method books have been keeping from you. Learn to read and play every note in 5th position (frets 5-8).
Take your knowledge of the fretboard to new heights! This follow up to Book 2 teaches you how read notes on the guitar from frets 9-13. Explore the rich tones in the part of the neck that many players consider to be the guitar’s sweet spot.
Conquer every note from the open string to fret thirteen. Book 4 teaches you how to read the notes that cross over the open and fifth positions as well as fifth and ninth positions. (It’s two books in one!) Even if you thought you knew your frets well before, this book will help you cement that knowledge for good.
Welcome to the virtuoso region of the neck. Learn to read the guitar’s highest notes--on frets 12-20. With Book 5 you’ll finally be able to read those metal, jazz, rock, and classical solos that you currently have to figure out using TAB. Tablature's a great way to learn, but it can also be full of errors. Learn the notes so you can move beyond the confines of TAB and decide for yourself the best way to play any song.
