It's enjoyable:
"These materials have given me so many practical ways to improve my playing on so many levels. It's going to add an extra dimension of enjoyment to my practice."
Book 1: Take away the barrier of reading pitch and rhythm
• Learn specific processes for practicing and conceptualizing pitch and rhythm, with charts and guides to help.
Book 2: Take away the barrier of not understanding the music you're reading
• Learn how to see the words and sentences of music, so that you no longer rely on reading notes one by one.
Book 3: Take away the barrier of slowly finding notes on the guitar
• Practice exercises that will teach you the entire fretboard in a fast, fun and relevant way.
Book 4: Take away the barrier of not internalizing the music you play
• Develop your musicianship by singing and playing the guitar. You'll learn to sing scales, intervals and specific types of rhythms. Plus it's all made relevant to pieces you're playing.
Book 5: Don’t let it all slip away!
• Follow the 4 month plan that breaks the materials down week by week so you cover it all
Learn how to see music differently
• Stop reading one note at a time and start seeing the larger patterns of music
Know what to expect when you're reading
• Learn the basic structure of pieces and you can even anticipate what phrases or sections will come next. Identify those repetitions and you save a lot of time and effort reading.
No more intimidating high chords!
• By shifting a chord shape up or down the neck, you realize that most of those intimidating high chords that take a long time to learn are in fact chords you already know really well.
What are your typical sight reading materials for guitar like?
• Irrelevant: Uses jazz examples and not classical (ex. William Leavitt's 'Reading Studies for Guitar')
• Superficial: Don't cover enough aspects in enough detail to get your reading skills to the next level
• Inapplicable: Don't make connections between general sight reading and the music you are playing
This widely used book will not help you as a classical guitarist very much.
Why is so much material on learning to read aimed at jazz guitarists, when they don't typically read as much as classical guitarists?!
Resources like this will mostly waste your time and leave you feeling frustrated, as it won't be relevant to the classical pieces you want to learn.
