The Missing Method for Guitar Note Reading Series, Book 3 (PDF)

Remove the guesswork. Know your fretboard. Master reading and playing guitar music in the 9th position.

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. 

Unlock your musicianship

The Missing Method for Guitar Note Reading Series is designed exclusively to teach you to master your fretboard.
