It is important to develop facility in reading, recognizing the notes, as well as the bar positions in which to play them, the fingerings, the rhythmic patterns, and any markings if interpretation (dynamics, phrasing, articulation, etc.). While this is one of the reasons that the instrument produces such colorful and interesting timbres, it also contributes to the difficulties of sight reading. With the guitar, musical components (scales, chords, arpeggios, etc.) may often be played in various positions. This book for the classical guitar has been compiled to improve sight reading, an often neglected aspect of musicianship.
