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. (145 pages)
