And more the only disadvantage is for better progress you have to sight read every day or every other day but only about 5 mins per day. But remember there are so many good guitarists who cannot sight read. This is not the only way. And one more thing...... It is fun to sight read Just Play with it.

And what if I practise, lets say, 30 minutes a day for the same ammount of time (3 months). I must say I am really interested in this course. I cant wait for the next weekend to come so I can give it a try You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

Can't read the sheet/don't know what CMaj7 means ? - The door beckons . Even if you can read Vinod's courses are both a great practice tool and help add sight reading methodically to your daily routine . Something I need to do more of Cheers, Tony You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!
