Book Reviews of Sight-Reading for the Contemporary Guitarist
Book Review: a college level guitarist
Summary: 5 Stars
this is a good book to work through. this book starts with chromatic reading studies on one string all the way up to the 15th fret on all strings, and then gets into playing in position (open-15) starting in C and going up cycle 5 in every key. this is quite a challenge if you're new to reading but don't let that discourage you because this book teaches everything you need to know including your two octave modes(in one 5 fret position) for all keys; which is great for learning how to improvise. you might want to work with a teacher if you're unsure about anything but overall i think this is one of the best reading methods on the market.
Summary of Sight-Reading for the Contemporary Guitarist
Using this innovative approach developed by Tom Dempsey will make sight-reading second nature. Start right away with cold-reading exercises that focus on each single string, and soon you'll explore harmonic and rhythmic patterns, multi-position reading, odd time signatures, chord charts, and more. Uniquely organized by key with fingerings for all major scales, this book explores beyond reading basic standard music notation and gives you the power to play whatever you see.Instruments & Performers Books
