The medicine without the sugar,
By A Customer
This review is from: Reading Studies for Guitar (Paperback)
I highly recommend these reading studies to my fellow guitarists who want to improve their reading skills. The studies are in all keys, positions I to VII. They do not resemble or sound like any well known melodies so it's impossible to cheat by being familar with the melody beforehand. The player must read the notes as they are written. This is not a shortcut to sightreading notes, but it helped me faster than any other book I've tried. These studies are drills that, when completed, made standard single note melody lines seem easy. And I guess that's the point.

The toughest job you'll ever love (eventually)...,
This review is from: Reading Studies for Guitar (Paperback)
This will be the most boring, most useful book you'll ever come across. Playing this (and its companion Advanced book for positions 8-12) each all the way through once a week for about half a year was seriously the best thing I ever did for guitar.
You'll hate doing it, but you'll never complain about not knowing how to read music in any key (F# anyone?) and you'll automatically know the fretboard inside and out, up and down.

Great book, but use with care!,
This review is from: Reading Studies for Guitar (Paperback)
This book is great for anyone who wants a hardcore "drill-book" for learning sight reading on guitar. Some suggestions though. Don't do the exercises mindlessly. Use the appropriate scale pattern(s), count out the rhythm beforehand and use a metronome.
