Synopsis

Single String Studies Volume One is an excellent learning tool for both the beginner who has no experience reading music on the guitar, and the advanced student looking to improve their ledger line reading and general knowledge of each string of the guitar. Each exercise concentrates a students attention of one string at a time. This allows a familiarity to form between the written pitch and where it can be found on the guitar along with improving one's "feel" for jumping linearly across the guitar neck.

Owners of Muse-eek books also get free access to our "member's area". This on-line resource contains thousands of videos, MP3, midifiles and other information to help a student learn. These files cover useful information for the most basic beginner in music to the highly advanced professional guitarist.
