This 5 1/2" by 8" QWIKGUIDE is designed to be a guide to reading music in the open position of the guitar from beginning through advanced levels. Each of the 30 studies works with a new note, adding it to the ones previously learned. In presenting the new notes, first the note is written in the treble clef with its letter name above it. Then, its location on the guitar is given first in tab and then in traditional guitar nomenclature. The first two examples in each study present the new notes in a non-metered way, first mostly stepwise, and then in larger skips. The rest of the examples are brief etudes that use the new note in a melodic, intervallic, and eventually harmonic context. The best way to become a better sight-reader is by sight reading, and this book provides ample material.
