Guitar Fretboard Mastery Step by Step: Learn to Read and Play Every Note on the Neck with 132 Melodious Single String Studies in All Positions and All - Paperback

by Turlough O'Carolan (Contribution by), Mark Phillips (Author)

This book takes a step-by-step approach to teach you to read and play every note on the guitar fretboard. You start by reading and playing studies in 2nd position, and gradually work your way up, position by position, to 12th position (employing all major and minor keys as you go). Whereas many exercise books' studies are rather dull or repetitious, this book exclusively employs, as studies, charming tunes originally composed as songs by blind Celtic harper and master melodist Turlough O'Carolan (1670-1738). An Appendix includes a discussion of such topics as notes outside the key, notes outside the position, and position shifts.
