No specific letter names are given-only the chord type and the string on which the root is found. Do not skip around. Do not change the fingering of any form, even if you already play it but in a different way. It will appear later on with "your" fingering,. Practice all chord forms chromatically up and down the fingerboard observing root chord names. These chord exercises are very important and should be reviewed regularly as they serve many purposes, such as physical development of the left hand.
Regular review is a must! Do not "practice" these Reading Studies, do not play on two consecutive days. See top Page When 2 consecutive notes on adjacent stgs.
Speed not corning? Left hand accuracy not consistant? Play any scale very slowly. The 1st guitar part of this duet is often played using the "muffled effect. All strings being played must be kept covered. As this somewhat inhibits picking, the part should first be thoroughly practiced without the muffled effect or "open".
When moving from chord to chord the best fingering is usually the one tnat involves the least motion in the left hand. Leaving one finger free for possible melodic additions is also an important factor. The sus. The note name for the 4th is also used.
Sus 4 may also be called natural 11th. The root is on the same string as the sus 4 form. For example in the above exercise you may substitute symbols "G11" and "A11" for sus 4.
Eventually you will be able to recognize and "feel" entire groups of syncopated notes. This is a definite aid in learning to read these "off beat" rhythms. Later on when syncopation is no longer a problem you will vary your picking for the purpose of phrasing and accents. Reading music is a combination of instant note and finger recognition and that of playing the "sound" that you "see" on the music. Now try this--play the tonic chord of these Reading Studies to get your "ear" in the proper key.
If your fingers have been over the fingering type enough times they will automatically play whatever notes sound patterns you mentally "hear" on the page. This will take a great deal of time to master. All forms presented in this book that employ the 6th string and therefore sound in part in the real bass register have the root first or fifth chordal degrees sounding on the bottom.
You have probably seen some of these same forms elsewhere with different chord names indicated. Theoretically these other names are also correct: however, the bass notes are "weak" chordal degrees and require special handling. This will be discussed thoroughly in a later section.. In an orchestral rhythm part the chord symbols used generally indicate the total or complete harmonic structures and it is not ex- pected nor is it possible that you play all degrees at all times.
Of course you should try to play as close as possible to the written sequences, but actually simplification by OMITTING some of the chordal degrees is the "norm". It is best, for now, to omit the higher degrees. More about this later Now, in addition to the five major keys in the second position, you should be somewhat familiar with the most used major scales in posi- tions one, three and four. You will have to do a great deal of reading in these areas, however, to really know them.
I cannot over-emphasize the importance of learning the four major scale fingering types well as they are the foundation for other kinds of scales.
We will gradually add more major fingering patterns until, ultimately, we have twelve; one for each key in each position.. This will require moving from position to position as we go through the patterns. The sequence of patterns fingering types will vary, depending upon the key signature. You will have a definite advantage in learning the fingerboard in this man- ner, as your "fingers know the patterns" and you can concentrate on the notes. Remember: learning to play the guitar is an accumulative process— therefore regular, complete review is absolutely necessary for the gradual improvement and perfection of the techniques II Basic and derivative fingerings.

I have a dedicated beginner lesson page as well. What books should I use along with your method?
For theory knowledge I recommend the Berklee Theory Book 1 which is pretty good and has an answer key at the end and audio samples to download for listening and musicianship. Having theory knowledge is really going to help, a lot. First, you just want to get playing. What is a good daily routine for a beginner? I recommend a technique warmup included in the back of the book , some review of previous easier material, some sight reading, and then dedicated work on the few pieces that you are currently working on.
Anything beyond that is a bonus. As you become more advanced you can increase the practice time. You might also want to watch some lesson videos before you begin to remind you of a few things you might have forgotten or just to pick up tips for the future. Even watching videos that are more advanced than where you are at or something you are not working can still help you learn.
