Guitar Sight-Reading 2 
A fresh approach

‘Guitar Sight-Reading 2’ aims to build on the sight-reading skills learnt in book 1 and provides a wealth of more challenging examples so that the pupil may gain even greater confidence when approaching any new piece of music for the first time. Tunes progress to include keys from 2 flats to 4 sharps using a variety of styles.
