Advanced Reading Etudes for Guitar
by Mark White
40 Pages and includes 20 track play-along CD

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.
