- A Must for the serious guitarist....
- This book is a must for any serious guitar player. I use this book for teaching my own students and I used it whilst studying guitar at University. I am now a Professor of Guitar at one of Japan's top Universities which is linked to Berklee School of Music. Like most things, its 1% talent, 99% hard work and a touch of creativity that makes a great player!! www.travisleewhite.com

- Get it
- The author is a cool guy. One of the best music instructors I've ever had. His book is amazing. If you want to learn to read, just click 'buy now'. The only things this books can't provide for you is daily practice (YOU have to provide that) and a practice partner. Having a reading buddy will help a lot but not entirely needed.

- Not for the beginner
- This book deals with learning how to read music on many levels. It starts with basic concepts and ends with advanced sightreading.
It is not written for casual reading, you will need to spend time with guitar in hand. Bring along a metronome as well.
This book assumes that you have been playing the guitar for a while (2 years) and that you have never given serious thought to learning to read music.
The music presented is mostly classical and not familiar to most players.
It would really benefit from an accompanying CD which it does not have.
Good luck. - 2007-12-18, 2 of 4 people found this review helpful, Rated:
- Music Reading for Guitar
- This book is very good for a beginner. Just about everything you need to know is in there. The reason I say "Just about everything" is because with the guitar there are many tricks and methods but this book covers what you need.
