Summary: How I Learned to Read Music
Review: I used the Leavitt books when I was learning to sight read back in the late 1960s, and it's still as good today as it was back then. The typography may look a little old to eyes used to modern computerized typesetting and layout, but the material is still solid. Working through all three volumes of Leavitt will give you a comeplete mastery of the fingerboard, and you'll learn some hip chords and lines along the way.

There have been a lot of methods published before and since. but this is still one of the absolute best.

Summary: a great introduction to guitar
Review: This book is great for all beginning guitarists out there. This is also recommended for all guitar players who have been playing the instrument but cannot read music. It covers different scale positions, chord forms, arpeggio studies and lots more. It's also a good material for sightreading exercises. This, together with Volumes II and III is a complete package for establishing a great foundation on the guitar.
