Being able to read music fluently is a skill that you should possess in order to play new sheet music on the fly, fill in on those last-minute calls for session gigs, or just expand your horizons. With this book, you'll learn: standard music notation, including pitches, rhythms, key signatures, and time signatures * reading in open, 2nd, 4th, 5th and 8th positions * articulation techniques * and much more. Dozens of reading exercises geared specifically towards rock guitarists are included, as well as a CD with recorded demonstrations so you can make sure that you're playing them correctly.
