Book Description
(Music Sales America). This book has been specially created for any guitarist who wants to learn note reading, be they beginners or more advanced players who have neglected this part of their musicianship. It starts with the very basics of written music and progressively introduces notes on each string one at a time until all notes in the "open position" (first five frets) of the guitar have been mastered, and up to 8th note rhythm subdivisions have been learned and applied. Also covered are sharps, flats, key signatures, accidentals, repeats and more. Each step includes practical exercises, handy tips and tricks and a simple repertoire for students to put their reading skills into practice. Spiral open so it lays flat no matter what page you're on.

Book Description
It Took Me 3 Months to Play My First Song - But You'll Be Doing That in Less Than A Week. It wasn't because I was slow or bad at guitar. Neither was it because I practiced less. I was simply misguided - like every other person to ever pick up the guitar! I took the "traditional" method of learning where you learn all the chords and all the theory behind it before you get to the fun part. This also involves months of practice and learning boring theory. This book is here to end that - to simplify things - to make things so simple that you'll be playing your first melody on day 1 and your first song within 7 days. How can this book do that? You would have heard people say - "You need to learn theory to be a real guitarist" Well..... Wrong! Not everyone needs to know theory - why do you need to learn all the boring theory if it's of no use to you? Why is this forced upon all guitarists? This book cuts out all the cr*p and gives you a streamlined process of mastering guitar. Even if you failed every exam at school and you have never picked up a single instrument in your life, you will be able to become a proficient guitar player without years and years of expensive guitar lessons. With the right strategy, you will get addicted to your guitar and the songs you are able to play. How long will I have to practice? Now, I know you have other commitments in life and cannot spend 25 hours a day practicing guitar. No one wants to do that. This book has been designed with exactly that in mind. It will give you goals for each of your 7 days with step by step instructions on what to play each day. You won't have to worry if you're practicing too less or too much - the book will tell you what you need to be accomplishing each day. Commit a few hours a day for 7 days and you'll make your friends and family jealous when you pull your guitar out. It doesn't matter if you just enter primary school or you are about to retire.
