This book, and its predecessors, are directed at all forms of accompaniment in which the guitar is the key harmonic element but principally when supporting the human voice. The guitar is most often heard accompanying song from the earliest recorded melodies to the present day. The previous volumes dealt with the simplest forms of playing an harmonic accompaniment (chords) and evolved to cover more complex styles so that good guitarists could make their own decisions and arrangements. The books can be used as a guitar tutor, and I have taught many pupils using this system, but to complete that process we must tackle how to read music on the guitar. This final volume is intended to show how that skill may be learnt and developed. It's easier than you think yet at the same time more complicated, but definitely worthwhile. You may be tempted to give up in the early stages, don't worry it gets easier. Guitarists can rarely read the way an orchestral player can but we don't need that level of skill to approach and understand guitar music better and as a result play it better.
