Introduction This book was produced to help my guitar students learn to read and write music on the stave and place the notes on guitar tab with consistent fingering. This book is intended to be mind numbingly simple. It is not trying to be cute, complicated or entertaining. It is simply providing your mind and brain with enough repitition that you can't help but learn how to read r ead and write below, on or above the stave. Repitition is the mother of all learning. And so you will go through a lot of repitition. Overload is the killer of all learning. Do not allow your mind to get overloaded with repitition. When your mind wanders, take a short break and do a reset. This is usually a signal of overload and your mind needs a break. So do so. This book is not intended to be a totally self sufficient standalone (though for some people it can be.) It's most useful with a teacher to check your work. And mine. This booklet is one of a series of seven or so reading guitar music books. This booklet is concerned with helping you with notation and tablature only. only. This series of booklets focuses on notes and ignores rhythm. If you want to read rhythm---which you absolutely must do---go to the rhythm and guitar section guitar section of http://www.guitarteacher.net.nz Later series will join these two dimensions together. Enjoy.
