Understanding guitar notation can be challenging. Reading music can be difficult for students of any instrument, but the guitar presents unique obstacles to mastery.
I played guitar for more than a decade before I started learned to read music, and it was only after I started learning to read music for the piano that I started to be able to understand guitar notation.
Over many years of teaching, I’ve used pretty much all of the common guitar method books with students. Some are better than others, but in my opinion all have shortcomings.
For that reason that I am developing a book to help guitar students master the fundamentals of reading musical notation for the guitar.
I have completed a first draft of the introduction, as well as the first 10 chapters and an appendix covering rhythm.
