Develop confident and fluent sight-reading skills through a clear, progressive method created specifically for classical guitarists. Guitar Fundamentals – Sight Reading 1 helps students at approximately Grade 1–2 level read unfamiliar music more accurately, maintain a steady rhythm and navigate the guitar’s first position with greater confidence.
 
The book includes 120 carefully graded exercises, arranged step by step so that each new challenge builds naturally on the skills already developed. Every exercise is supported by an accompanying audio track on janasmusic.com, allowing students to hear the correct rhythm, check their accuracy and practise independently.
