- (007-21) "How to read music?" I believe many guitarists want to do it. Guitar players are known as not great at sight-reading music. I want to change that in 2021! I just started "Sight-Reading" series at my Guitar Wisdom. My subscribers are really loving it!
No mystery anymore! Now anyone can do sight-reading! Are you ready?

Guitar wisdom + book is great :)
I wouldn't find the book useful without the guidance !
Finally I finished filming this book! I am so happy that my Guitar Wisdom can help everybody in the world with this book & sight-reading. I have learned so much about CLEAN MUTING TECHNIQUE from this book. Right! You cannot learn this book alone without suggestions.
Wow, teaching something you love and caring about the students is one of the highest forms of living. Thank you.
Thanks so much! I teach much more detail video lessons and super easy theory lessons, beginner series, sight-reading course at my Guitar Wisdom! Just added new lessons!!

@@TomoFujitaMusic i would like to see a good course for people who aren't new new beginners but not intermediate and acoustic. A course that shows a good dirext path to learning. I only have an acoustic
@@jacobmiller3427 Thank you!
Reading music is an essential skill for anyone who wants to play music at a level beyond a garage band.
Beautiful guitar!

It has P90 pups ?
Good evening Mr. Professor, I just subscribed yesterday to Guitar Wisdom. Even after 30 years of trying to play guitar, I still consider myself as beginner because I learn always new things. This course will help me to set up my mind solid with the knowledge and improve myself to play and be able to apply theory to guitar while composing and improvising.
Also I just ordered the 3 books today on Amazon. I got the 3 at the price of 1!
Thank you so much for subscribing my Guitar Wisdom. This sight-reading lesson series are one of popular ones at TFGW. Thank you!
I just received mine today! I was already busy following SR01 from Guitar Wisdom and busy training with first 4 exercices. I am now set on what to do this week!
Great to hear! Great start! Thank you so much!
Love those Leavitt books. I still have Vols 1, 2 and 3 from when I was a Berklee student back in 1988.
Awesome! Volume One is so good!
@@TomoFujitaMusic it’s great at teaching the fundamentals, as you stated. Big love and respect, Tomo!
It is pretty to realize that I made a right choise. Being a professional saxophone player I am ok with a sight-reading. But when I grab a guitar to learn and play it I saw that it is very hard to play the guitar using notes, because It is the other instrument and I've never done this before. Then I found Berklee Guitar book vol.1 and started to work on it, going through all exersices there. I've finished just a half of the book , and my skills are growing up! I was happy to know that dear Tomo, my UA-cam teacher, did video series about this book and advises it for learning! I feel I'm on the right way.
Thank you Tomo for all your help, videos, informations, knowledge! You are The Best One.
So nice to hear that! Good job! Your hard work!!
You're welcome! Thanks so much! I teach much more detail video lessons and super easy theory lessons, beginner series, sight-reading course at my Guitar Wisdom!

There's something very therapeutic about opening up a book and sight reading music. You didn't have to rehearse it or spend a bunch of time memorize it but letting the page come to life.
Everything is there and you can really achieve something very deep and valuable. So much satisfaction and can built strong confidence. I use this book for training strong soul!
Thank you for the reply! Honestly wasn't expecting such kind words.
I have been going through this book since 1985. My music high school music teacher taught it to the group guitar class. I’ve bought it three times and have the 3 volume set.
I have entire book volume one lessons at my Guitar Wisdom.
What I like about reading is I know where stuff is.
Thank you!
I got this book back in 2005 and I still read it from time to time. Great value.
Great!
My book has arrived ! Now I can really get into your system of learning from the beginning. Your excitement about the importance of proper foundation for learning music and guitar in general is totally infectious and I never get tired of listening to you. Meanwhile it is dawning on me that freedom of expression on guitar is a very, very lofty goal. However the wisdom is not to contemplate how long the road, but to begin taking the first steps. Thank You and many thanks to your mother and father.
Good job. I am almost finishing this book at my Guitar Wisdom site. This book is so good! You can learn so much You're welcome!
I managed to learn sight reading Level 1 book from my children while they were learning classical Guitar at school. My learning stopped after we lost that book! I try to learn now and then from online tutorials😊
Thanks for sharing!
I recently came across your channel and can't stress enough how much your videos have helped to bring back joy to my playing. I started in 1992 with this book as my first practice book but have gone many years just noodling without direction. I'm really excited to be learning again. Brilliant teachings, Tomo, thank you!

You can't go wrong with the two Reading Studies books from Berklee press.They are excellent! You work through multiple keys within one position which forces guitar players out of "pattern mode" and into "music mode". Leavitt also puts little random twists and turns into the exercises that confuse the muscle memory from falling into predictable patterns. Do one exercise a day, slowly and don't repeat.
Thank you for sharing! I use this book for my students! No memorization!
Thank you Tomo Fujita, you are my true Sensei, from the bottom of my heart. Great respects for the way you teach and providing so much wisdom ! Im a self taught casual guitar player but I needed direction to play with good foundation and I was in search for many years for a methodological guitar teacher who understood their craft well. I am really happy to find you and subscribe to your online guitar wisdom since the past month. Thank you
Glad to hear that ! Thanks so much for subscribing my Guitar Wisdom.

Thank you so much for subscribing my Guitar Wisdom. Awesome!!
I’m a big fan of your work Professor Fujita, I just got the portuguese version of this book here in Brazil and instantly clicked on this video after I saw the thumbnail. I’m very glad to see you talking about it because it means I made a good purchase. I hope I have the opportunity to study with you one day. Greetings from Rio de Janeiro
This book is very hard to learn by your own. That's why I made guitar course that I use this book every week. We are up to page 83 right now at my Guitar Wisdom. Thank you so much!
Tomo thank you, infinitely!

Thank u Mr.Tomo, I almost gave it up two hours ago because of the difficulty of reading the notes on the staff while playing my guitar, but seeing u making mistakes several times on this book makes me become confident again!Hopefully, we can see more contents about this book in 2021!

Thanks Tomo,
I just purchased the book only and started the exercises tonight. Taking my time to learn the notes. I’ve been playing guitar since 1983 and have read music just a little bit and now I want to really learn reading music. I need confidence with my guitar playing.
Thanks again Tomo

Thank you Professor Fujita! Before I known Guitar Wisdom, I took more than four month to study this book by myself. I feel really confused about the noise from other strings, and no one could tell me what is the right way to play. Your Sight-Reading Series is really helpful for me and I start from beginning again, learn how to mute, listen carefully of each note.
You're very welcome! Thanks so much for subscribing my Guitar Wisdom. So happy to hear that!
Very good, I went through this book but looking forward to doing it again with you. Thanks
So great to hear that. Lets go a few more times! Thank you!
I graduated from Berklee 22 years ago, and I go back to those 3 Bill Leavitt books a lot more often than I ever expected to.
So awesome! Thanks for sharing! Beautiful!
I got this book over 10 years ago. I studied a lot with it and also shared it with my students, but I never thought I would have the opportunity to have a teacher at Bearkley explain to me in detail what this book contains. I am deeply grateful for your generosity!

This is a real eye opener. Although I’m no beginner, I need to practice this kind of thing! I mean, I play guitar everyday, but I need to get better at focused practice. And this was a nice lesson and exercise

Good job! Learn the Volume One!
Yes, this is something I’m interested to do because I learned piano with printed music, but guitar with tabs and chords so I have to think (look) hard to work out what notes I’m using... this video makes me feel like it’s more attainable than I fear it is 🙂 Thank you, Tomo!
This way you don't need any TABS and better!!

Amazing lessons. Thank you for sharing it. Cheers
Thank you so much! Guitar Wisdom!
Tomo, I'm so glad you started this series on Guitar Wisdom. The last time I had an in person guitar teacher, she was so wonderful, she started teaching me to read using Frederick Noad's Solo Guitar Playing 1 and it really was a huge help in my confidence. Even Al Di Meola recently emphasized the importance of being able to read music as a guitar player in his interview with Rick Beato.
So happy to hear that! Thank you so much! This book is impossible to do by yourself! So I encourage everyone to do this with me! I use this book everyday! Good making better discipline, patient and more! Do more work than others is always good thing!
@@TomoFujitaMusic Do you think going through all three books would be enough to get a good grasp of the fretboard; notes and their positions, keys of chords and scales. I would like to learn that way if it's not a bad idea while having fun and learning songs by ear in the process. Do you feel if I stuck with those two ways of playing and practicing guitar together would suffice in making me an accomplished guitarist for the most part? I really appreciate your input. I know your course is always an option as well but wanted your homest thoughts. Thanks, Brian W (Southern IL)
Only the volume one! That's enough! This book is good! I practice it everyday! Great way to fix muting technique. Thank you!
Yes yes! These books taught me a lot!

I just started this book with the goal of learning electric guitar and jazz specifically. It is fun so far. This video lesson is appearing at a perfect time for me. I am coming to electric guitar after getting to an intermediate level with classical guitar many years ago. Sort of getting the hang of using a pick, but can't quite get the hybrid picking style I see many jazz guitarist use. I am determined to learn pick skills to have as an option to finger-style. TomoFujitaMusic is one of my favorite channels, thanks for the content.

Great job! I will keep going with this book at my Guitar Wisdom!
Thank you for posting this this. I was just thinking if I should get volume 1 or all 3.
Thank 🙏🏼 you (gracias) Mr. Tomo. As a new subscriber to your UA-cam channel and beginning guitarist, I find your teaching methods and caring so much for your students, astonishing, to say the least. Mr. Tomo we all share the same similarities, loving music it’s an awesome universal language, in my humble opinion. At 52 I am trying so hard to learn an instrument that I love. Watching your UA-cam videos has educated me and enhanced my playing. I will definitely purchase this book today on Amazon. Thank you once again!

Thank You Sir Tomo
You're very welcome! Sight-reading section is one of very popular courses at my Guitar Wisdom!
So I've been tooling round the guitar for a while and basically learned strictly through UA-cam and tabs. I can play a bit but cannot really comprehend the instrument.
After watching this video I went and bought it (used). Also, no CD as recommended. It took me a while (didnt understand 1st position or where C was). But after a while I found some footing.
I already have music reading abilities from my trumpet playing so once I knew where to start I was able to move along well.
Will say this, after 30 mins I feel as if this book is what I've been needing all this time to really start learning fundamentals. Its fun playing and discovering the exercises. I'm looking forward to learning more about guitar.
Thanks for the sound recommendation!
Only UA-cam and tabs = stay same level forever!
Thanks so much! Good job on your effort!
More details are at my Guitar Wisdom site. More people are enjoying on their progress on guitar playing, sight-reading so gaining more pure confidence and having more joy playing guitar!
I bought the book immediately! I've been wanting to learn sightreading but it's really hard on your own. I started with the Hal Leonard Method, which was cool, but I miss having someone guide me. THIS IS EXACTLY what I need.

I also bought the three Berklee volumes by William Leavitt in the early 80s. My volume 1 is falling apart as I used it for years, but never got to volume 3. Thanks for reminding me of it. I should go back a finish the project so that I can stop feeling guilty. Volume 1 was great! Who was William Leavitt? I've searched the web earlier for more about him, but there isn't much there!
Thanks for sharing! You're very welcome! Volume one is so good! He was a chair of Guitar Department .... William Leavitt was a long-time chair of Berklee’s Guitar Department, serving from 1965 to 1990. He had a profound influence on Berklee’s guitar curriculum, as well as jazz guitar education worldwide, and he mentored thousands of musicians. As a performer and/or arranger, he worked with many renowned artists, such as Ella Fitzgerald, Andy Williams, and Patti Page.
Great Method. I learnt it quite well with it.
Good job!
Great videos. The matter is to know how to study and to study properly. After do that if you want to get to the next level you need to work hard and to spend more time than the beginning. This is one way that one teacher learned to me in the past. I think Guitarist Oz Noy said he spent 4 years of hardworking to level up.
Guitar is amazing! No bottom! More to learn!!

great video, i'm working in Volume 1 right now and what you say is true, it's better to have a teacher help you with this book bc you may think you are "Reading it " correctly but sometimes you are learning it " reading it" the wrong way, so in the long run it's not good to learn this book alone . Peace !
Thanks so much! Good job! It's hard to decide whether right or wrong.

Good job!!
@@TomoFujitaMusic thanks for the reply. do you think I should find a teacher who knows Bill Leavitt's books to work with or are the books enough on their own without a teacher?
Hi Tomo, I bought this book today at Strings and Things in Concord, NH. I look forward to learning how to read music after 30+ years of playing :-)
Great! Now you can learn this book at my Guitar Wisdom!
I also have no sense of direction. When I moved to Tokyo, I went shopping and couldn't go back to my apartment lol

Thank u for this insight. I will check the book out definitely. I sight read as a pianist but have a hard time applying it to guitar so I resort to cheat a bit by memorizing the fretboard and use my ears instead.

Thanks Tomo. You inspired me to pick up my book from ‘81. My teacher, Berklee student Dale Freeman, insisted that it wouldn’t stop me from sounding like Keith Richard if that was what I wanted to do. 😆 So no CD! BUT I did transcribe (some) of the duets into garage band so I can play along with the fiendish robot 🤖 partner (Chet? Les?) because they do sound pretty as duets and you can’t fudge the 1ee&ah. Plus GB lets you set the tempo to 42 if you’re having a chord catastrophe kinda day. 😖😁 I’m up to about page 74 but maybe it’s time to start over. “Review frequently”

Excellent
Thank you!
Excellent recommendation Tomo!. I completed the three volumes of a Modern Method for Guitar and then studied Melodic Rhythms for guitar which was also written by Bill Leavitt, I studied this methods with my former teacher Felipe Souza who is one of Mexico´s best guitarists and he studied at Berklee for some time. There is a wealth of information in these methods!! :)
Believe or not... Sight-Reading Series is one of popular lessons at my Guitar Wisdom. This book (ONE) is so great! I am enjoying it very much. Now after page 60... you can hear a few sophisticated voicings and they are so beautiful! You are amazing!!
Then try this. Read the book one from the beginning to end 2 more times! You will learn something new and you will improve big time!
Oh wooooow! Yes, I had it, in 1980!

Mr.Tomo ! I am completely self taught, & I’m able to learn greatly watching your videos. The catch is, I play in open G, & I don’t know standard at all. Sounds ridiculous, yet I play chord progressions as if I was in standard, playing outside the confines of G. I find it hard to believe you don’t have one video covering other tunings!

Open tunings are legit.
I love your energy Sensei 😂
Thank you so much!
Fantastic book! It really got my reading in order for both classical and jazz lol sadly a few years ago a student of mine who I lent it to moved and I lost it.
Awesome!
Awesome 🎊💫🌟
Thank you!!
I just got all three. I'm excited to follow your site reading course on guitar wisdom. My only issue I think is still memorizing the notes on the fretboard.
Awesome! Thanks so much for subscribing my Guitar Wisdom!
Just try not memorize anything! Slow down!

Thanks from Boston!!
I remember I had method book s 1 and 2 when I was a teenager. Unfortunately, I still wish I had those books, they were fantastic. I have been thinking about trying to find them again. Thank you Tomo for showing these on your channel.
Awesome! Now you can do this!

@@TomoFujitaMusic I sincerely appreciate your approach to teaching guitar. I'm having a lot of fun learning from Guitar Wisdom! Thank you so much for sharing your wisdom!
@@TomoFujitaMusic I just love watching you play guitar. Also, thank you so much for making available your guitar lessons. You are a very patient and caring teacher.
Thanks so much for subscribing my Guitar Wisdom!!
Learning this way is really effective but for those who are a little more advanced (or ambitious ;p) I also recommend learning pieces for the classical guitar. If someone work it well it will surely be heard in your normall play!
Even way advanced players can learn more from fundamental with depth review! More and more lessons are coming in any levels!!
