Day 4 - Your Map and Compass for Guitar
It's time to supercharge your reading on guitar by using this simple process.
Write in the position and fingerings for every note in your score.
This is how you want to think when reading any score. If you don't know what position you're in and what position you're going to, you'll be lost!
The fretboard can feel like a vast ocean that's very difficult to navigate.
But you can navigate the fretboard by knowing these two things at all times:
1) What position you're in (defined by what fret your first finger in on).
2) The fingerings you're using in that position.
While this might sound obvious, many guitarists don't actually do it! That means they're reading is left to chance and any position changes will completely throw you.
Never leave your reading to chance:
By practicing the skill of knowing your positions and fingerings at all times, you'll start to form the habit of always thinking this way.
