Master Note Reading in the 5th Position

Move beyond the basics of note reading. Many guitar players start with a method book that teaches them how to reads a few notes, but most of those books don’t take you any further. Missing Method 2 fixes that problem. Discover for yourself what those other method books have been keeping from you. Learn to read and play every note in 5th position (frets 5-8).

Full Book Description

Move beyond the basics of note reading.


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. 

Develop Competency and Confidence


This second book in the note reading series focuses exclusively on learning to read standard notation in the middle region of the neck. Whether you’ve already been playing guitar for a while or have just completed the first book in the series, Missing Method 2 will help you take your understanding and mastery of the fretboard to new heights. 

Master the 5th Position


Like all Missing Method books, when we say “mastery” we mean it. With clear instructions, examples, ample exercises and practice songs, when you’ve finished the book you’ll know: 

How to read notes in the 5th position (Frets 5-8), in every key

How to count and read triplet rhythms
