Reading Studies for Guitar

Summary: The medicine without the sugar
Review: I highly recommend these reading studies to my fellow guitarists who want to improve their reading skills. The studies are in all keys, positions I to VII. They do not resemble or sound like any well known melodies so it's impossible to cheat by being familar with the melody beforehand. The player must read the notes as they are written. This is not a shortcut to sightreading notes, but it helped me faster than any other book I've tried. These studies are drills that, when completed, made standard single note melody lines seem easy. And I guess that's the point.

Summary: Great book, but use with care!
Review: This book is great for anyone who wants a hardcore "drill-book" for learning sight reading on guitar. Some suggestions though. Don't do the exercises mindlessly. Use the appropriate scale pattern(s), count out the rhythm beforehand and use a metronome.
