ADVANCED READING ETUDES FOR GUITAR
By Mark White.
40 Pages and includes 20 track play-along CD.
$18.95
The purpose of this book is to help guitarists improve their
reading skills while working on challenging and stimulating musical material.
The book is comprised of 10 etudes written in contemporary musical language that
encompass fusion, rock, funk, and jazz styles. Each etude is presented in two
forms: one with just the plain notation and then a second version with
information regarding content, linkage, and location of ideas on the guitar
fingerboard. The second version has every note fingered with string locations
marked. Most importantly, the etudes are prefaced by information for the
advanced student or professional guitarist that will establish a "reading
routine" leading to improved reading skills. The book is accompanied by a 20
track CD presenting each etude first with it's lead-line, than again without the
line for the player to practice the etude solo.
