Read Music for Guitar - Beginners

Description

Part 1

Follow my Read Music for Guitar - Beginners class and you'll be able to read guitar sheet music and play the notes on guitar. This easy string-by-string method focuses on 2 or 3 notes at a time on each string. Master one string, then move on to the next. With a little regular practice, you'll find yourself unconsciously knowing what to play when you see the notes.

This is a proven method developed while teaching guitar for (can you believe it?) over 20 years! Media content included with the course is taken from my 3-book series Guitar in Real Time. With a little routine practice, you'll experience the satisfaction of reading and playing music on guitar.

What Exactly do you Learn?

1. You learn the notes in what is called "1st position" on each string. That is the position where the 1st finger (index) of your fretting hand stays next to the nut.  The nut is the (usually beige colored) bone or hard plastic piece on the head of the guitar that the strings run over.

2. In the course, you learn to read notes on the 5-line staff using the treble clef.

3. You also get to know about -

   1. time signatures

   2. key signatures

   3. note durations

   4. rests

Part 2

This second part focuses on strings 4 through 6. These are the lower pitched "bass" notes on guitar.

You will also get to know about -

• a new time signature

• 8th note rests

• triplet notes

• sharps and natural notes

• rules for accidentals (sharps and flats)

Extra Benefits

The extra benefits that you get with this course are basic fingerstyle guitar lessons. You can follow these lessons to develop a good fingerstyle foundation. Or, simply use any method of string picking that you prefer.

What You Will Learn!

• How to read standard music notation to play on guitar
• Learn 2 or 3 notes on each string until you can play on all 6 strings from sheet music
• Begin exercises slowly and build up speed by following on-screen notation
• You start reading and playing after a few short lessons
• Extra benefits - learn basic fingerstyle technique, or skip those lessons and play your own style

Who Should Attend!

• Guitar beginners who also want to learn music reading
• Anyone who wants to learn music reading and play the notes on guitar
• Experienced guitar players who don't read music
• Musicians who already read music but who want to know where the notes are on guitar
