The Missing Method for Guitar: The 9th Position (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781546356295)

Many guitar methods touch on note reading in the open position, but that's where it ends. This leaves most guitarists having to figure out the rest of the fretboard on their own, which can be tedious, time-consuming, and downright frustrating. But not anymore.

The Missing Method for Guitar Note Reading Series is designed exclusively to teach you to master your fretboard. And this, the third book in the note reading series, is your guide to mastering note reading in the middle of the neck, the region with some of the richest tones, and the power to take your sound, your skills, and your understanding of guitar music to the next level.

Like all Missing Method books, when we say "mastery," we mean it. With ample instructions, illustrations, and practice, when you've finished the book, you will know:

• How to read notes in the upper region of the neck (Frets 9-13), in every key
• How to read in minor keys, including relative minor, melodic, harmonic, and jazz-melodic minors

• Review open and 5th positions
• Solidify your rhythm skills
• Practice and Play in every key
• Learn scales in every key while you learn the neck
• Learn more guitar music theory
• Know how to hone your sight reading skills
