This is the second book in Mel Bay's Achieving Guitar Artistry series and follows the initial Linear Etudes text. Readers should develop a routineof practising one key per day for the best results. Mastery of this book will do much to enhance the Guitarist's sense of voice leading note reading and improvising.
