Note Reading Books 1 & 2

The Kristen R. Bromley Guitar Method series is based on the author’s extensive experience as a professional guitarist and noted educator. In 20 plus years, Dr. Kristen Bromley has instructed hundreds of university students in beginning, intermediate, and advanced level courses, along with child, adolescent, and adult learners. In this volume, Dr. Bromley helps guitarists learn how to play individual notes on the guitar while reading music written in standard music notation. The book begins as if a student has no prior knowledge of reading music notation or the location of notes on the guitar, and proceeds through playing notated music in any key in the open or first position on the guitar. If you want to learn how to (or get better) at reading notes with the guitar, this is the book for you! This method book includes: Online access to nearly 14 hours of in-depth video lessons by Dr. Bromley that specifically go over the materials in this book. 25 chapters of step-by-step instruction that cover how to read notes on the guitar. Over 360 songs and exercises, which can all be played right along with Dr. Bromley through the video lessons. Theory explanations of notes, keys, chromatic pitches, and major and minor scales. Right- and left-hand technique development, including alternate picking approaches.
