Uncluttered layout, carefully graded pieces, and clear, simple instructions make this the book to read first! Read This First is a beginning music reading book for guitar, it is not intended to be a method for learning to play guitar and has no information about technique, etc. It is for any guitarists of any age who wants to develop or improve the skill of reading music at sight. Those working with or without a guitar teacher, who already learn pieces through tablature or music, or have learned to play and improvise by ear can all use this book! Read This First is deliberately designed to be used by players of any style. Classical, folk, rock, jazz- anybody can have fun reading this music! It starts with very simple melodies that anybody can read at sight with almost no preparation. New things are added as the pieces progress, but so gradually that it always seems easy. No lengthy explanations, lists of things to memorize, or dry exercises. All of the pieces have discreet chord symbols placed above so the melodies can be played along with a teacher, friends, etc. Some of the melodies are part of duets in which both parts are the same difficulty. There is a chart of basic chord shapes and 18 note-flashcard for those who want extra help reviewing the pitches.
