No other guitar book series teaches you exclusively how to read music. All other method books just give you the bare basics. This book focuses on learning to read standard guitar notation in the middle region of the neck, and like Missing Method Book 1, includes tons of practice songs, examples, clear explanations, and exercises, giving you everything you need to become fluid in playing beyond the open position. Use this book in conjunction with other method books, by itself, with a teacher, or on your own.
