    About this ebook

    Improve your sight-reading! Guitar Grades 1-3 is designed to help classical guitarists overcome sight reading problems, especially in the context of graded exams. Step by step you build up a complete picture of each piece, firstly through rhythmic and melodic exercises related to specific technical issues, then by studying prepared pieces with associated questions, and finally 'going solo' with a series of meticulously graded sight-reading pieces. Written to support the ABRSM's sight-reading requirements.
    This is the full eBook edition in fixed-layout format.
