A practical bridge from guitar tablature to standard notation

Barrett Tagliarino’s workbook connects the notes on a musical staff with guitar fingerboard diagrams and tablature, giving players a concrete way to approach standard notation. Its step-by-step course combines practice routines with more than 100 written exercises and an answer key. The material ranges from basic note reading to scales, chords, arpeggios, key and time signatures, chart directions, and rhythmic values including tied sixteenth notes. The emphasis is on building reading and writing skills through structured practice, while relating notation to familiar guitar-specific references.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Guitar beginners seeking an introduction to standard music notation.
  • Players who learned by ear or use tablature and want to develop notation-reading skills.
  • Guitarists who prefer learning through written exercises and answer-key practice.

Book overview

Learn to read standard music notation on the guitar with this easy step-by-step book! Great for beginners or more-experienced "by ear" players who want to start reading, it explains notation reading in detail, relating notes on the staff to guitar fingerboard diagrams and tablature. Practice routines and over 100 written exercises (with a complete answer key included) help you steadily and painlessly develop from an absolute beginner into a real reading and writing musician. You'll learn to recognize larger patterns as you progress, working with scales, chords, arpeggios, key and time signatures, chart directions, and complete rhythmic vocabulary from dotted whole notes down to tied sixteenths. From the author of The Guitar Fretboard Workbook and Chord Tone Soloing.
