Part 1: Your Journey to Musical Literacy Begins Here!

Join me, John Chamley, in this comprehensive course designed to demystify the world of sheet music for guitarists. 🎵✨

• Essential Skill Acquisition: Learn to read guitar sheet music and play the notes with ease. This isn't about memorizing a hundred chords; it's about understanding the language of music. You'll focus on mastering each string one by one, starting with just 2 or 3 notes at a time.
• Proven Method: Backed by over 20 years of teaching experience, this method simplifies the learning process, making it accessible for beginners and effective for experienced players looking to refine their skills.
• Learning Curriculum:
  1. 1st Position Notes on Each String: Begin with the notes around the nut, which is the beige piece the strings run over at the head of your guitar.
  2. Reading Notes on a 5-line Staff with Treble Clef: Understand how each note corresponds to a fret and string on your guitar.
  3. Key Music Concepts: Dive into -
     • Time Signatures

     • Note Durations
     • Rests 🎶

Part 2: Expanding Your Musical Vocabulary

Once you've grasped the basics on strings 1-3, it's time to explore the rich lower registers. This second part focuses on strings 4 through 6, which are responsible for the bass notes that give depth and harmony to your playing. 🤟

• New Time Signatures: Learn to groove with a different beat as you encounter new rhythms.
• 8th Note Rests: Understand how these work within a composition for better rhythmic control.
• Triplet Notes: Master the triplet feel, which adds a swing and syncopation to your playing.

• Accidentals Rules: Learn how sharps and flats change the key of a piece, enhancing your ability to read and play with confidence. 🎵
