Introduction This book follows on from two earlier books entitled: •

Reading Guitar Music | Reading the Spaces 1

•

Reading Guitar Music For Beginners | Reading the Lines2

The purpose of these books were to enable you to: •

identify notes on the spaces , below, in and above the stave

•

identify notes on the lines, below, in and above the stave

•

identify notes on guitar tab, below, in and above the stave

The main objective is for you to be able to: •

identify any note below, in and above the stave at sight

•

locate that note on your fingerboard (with no looking or fast looking) and

•

play that note on sight with the correct finger

This book extends your knowledge by: •

using the concept of triad

•

writing triads below, in and above the stave

•

writing triads on the tab

•

learning the concept of the two octave staircase with a three octave arpeggio

This book teaches nine ways to: •

write triads in the spaces through nine different staircases

•

tab triads in the spaces through nine different staircases

•

sight read triads in the spaces through nine different staircases

This book trains you to have a detailed knowledge of the fingerboard, tab and stave Which makes reading music on guitar by sight just a matter of time. For you.

Congratulations! Congratulations! You now know: • •

ONE way to stave (write) the Grand SPACE NOTE Arpeggio and NINE ways to tab this Grand SPACE NOTES Arpeggio

from E below the Stave to F above the stave. You can do all this stuff with a pencil. Even better! What you can do with a pencil you can do with your speech. Keep talking to yourself about every note and every tab you wrote down in this book. Writing the stuff down lets you capture it. And that's valuable. And important. But if you just write down a language. And don't talk it. You have a dead language. Talk notes to yourself. Stave notes to yourself. Tab notes to yourself. Examples:

Tab for E in the stave on line 1 is D2. A7 and E 12. Tab for C in the stave on space 3 is B1, G5, D10, A13, E19. E is on space 4 below the stave, line 1 in the stave, space 4 in the stave and line 3 above the stave

Talk. Talk. Talk. Talk. Talk. Talk. Talk.

Now You Want to Play The Nine SPACE NOTES Arpeggios That's understandable. But that's another thirty pager or so. Of step by step instructions. That I haven't started to write yet.

If you want me to hurry up do this: Step 1: go to http://www.scribd.com/stepbystepguitar Step 2: click on Subscribe button Step 3: click on the Send a Message Button and send me a hurry up message. In the meantime, you have just done yourself an awesome favor. Well done!

Learn To Play The Three Octave Arpeggios Videos Now that you have written out all the arpeggio's on stave and tabs you can take the next step of learning to play each arpeggio. You need to memorise four bytes for each note: name each note, name its stave position, name its tab position and name its fingering.

These eight videos demonstrate the 4 byte process for you to model Guitar Music Reading: 01 Two Octave G Arpeggio Open Position http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AT8aGRp_0Dk Read Guitar Tabs 02 - 2 Octave G Arpeggio 2nd Position http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4JGUDBF9HnU Music Reading For Guitar: 03 Oct B Arpeggio 5 Position http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nAAoL1w_6pU How To Read Guitar Tabs 04: 2 Oct B Arpeggio 7Position http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PBa8yjSx6w0 Guitar Sight Reading 05: 2 Octav D Arpeggio 7Position http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2xmCXw-NH7o Read Guitar Sheet Music 06: 2 Oct D Arpeggio 9Position http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8sKt52UCmbY Reading Guitar Music 07: 2 Octave F Arpeggio 9Position http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6mv32uQ2Efg Read Guitar Music 08: 2 Octave F Arpeggio 12 Position http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L398lBoh2rw Now that you have memorised each two octave staircase separately the next two videos integrate them.
