(Guitar Educational). The Guitarist's Guide to Music Reading features detailed step-by-step instruction, loads of sight-reading examples, invaluable tips and secrets from an industry pro, and over 600 audio files. "If you are reading this book I am excited for you. What you have in front of you is a powerful tool to help you understand the language of music. Chris Buono's explanations are sharply focused and designed for guitarists who have had minimal exposure to the concepts behind music notation. This is consistent with his approach to teaching guitar fundamentals. He has a gift for breaking down sophisticated musical concepts and replacing them with the salient points that kickstart your learning process." Dweezil Zappa

These melodies are what all sight-reading should be about but usually are not. They use easy notes and rhythms in a most methodical, imaginative and pleasurable way, concentrating on single-line melodies in first position only. This book has one hundred melodies which could be introduced to the student from almost the very first lesson, and as the melodies get progressively more complex, the book will be useful for higher-grade students. Although the book is aimed at the grade 1-2 player, more experienced students may also find it useful to try playing the studies in higher positions.
