300 Progressive Sight Reading Studies for Guitar Large Print Version: Part One of Two, Exercises 1-150

Volume One is comprised of 300 progressive eight-bar exercises that cover the keys of C Major, F Major, G Major, A Minor, D Minor and E Minor. Time signatures include 4/4 (Common Time), 3/4, 2/4, 6/8, and 2/2 (Cut Time).

For the Large Print Version, the 300 exercises are broken down into two books. Part One contains exercises 1-150 and Part Two contains exercises 151-300.

While this book is intended to train sight-reading skills, it may also be used by beginners or those new to reading to acquire basic reading skills. It starts at a very basic level and adds a new note, rhythm, or concept every couple of pages and thoroughly reinforces them throughout the rest of the book.

While the majority of the exercises work in first-position, more advanced guitar players would benefit greatly from playing the exercises in other positions on the fretboard. Exercises 273-300 are written to be played in fifth position or higher.

Some fundamental pages on scales and rhythms have been included for convenience. The scale pages are the only place in this book where tablature has been used.
