About the course

Have You Ever Wanted To Be Able To Pick Up Some Sheet Music And Just Play It?

Or maybe you’ve had some musical ideas of your own that you’ve wanted to write down, but weren’t sure where to start. How To Read Music For Guitar is a course that is video based, and tailored specially for the guitar player who wants to learn the universally-accepted standards in reading and writing music.
The information you get here is designed to help you reach your goals in a very practical way. You don’t need any prior theoretical understanding—we tackle each new concept from the beginning. For each topic covered, the theory is given to you in an easy-to-understand way; then you are shown how to practically apply the theory learnt, either by writing out a few examples on the stave, or by playing them on your guitar.

These concepts are really valuable and can be used outside of reading & writing music, too.
•You get musical examples and song studies, that show you how to apply the music notation we cover to your guitar’s fretboard. These are presented in a split-screen format, with the guitar part playing on top, and the music notation scrolling below, so you can see it all unfolding in real time.
•You get to choose how quickly you progress. This course is entirely self paced—if you want to, you can finish it in a few days to a week; or you can go through it in 15-30 minute sittings, coming back to it whenever you have the time.
•You get to review the information presented any time you need a refresher . There’s no time limit, you have lifetime access, including automatic updates to the material whenever something new is added to the course.
