What are your typical sight reading materials for guitar like?
• Irrelevant: Uses jazz examples and not classical (ex. William Leavitt's 'Reading Studies for Guitar')
• Superficial: Don't cover enough aspects in enough detail to get your reading skills to the next level
• Inapplicable: Don't make connections between general sight reading and the music you are playing

This widely used book will not help you as a classical guitarist very much.
Why is so much material on learning to read aimed at jazz guitarists, when they don't typically read as much as classical guitarists?! Resources like this will mostly waste your time and leave you feeling frustrated, as it won't be relevant to the classical pieces you want to learn. |
