Guide To Reading Music: Lesson #6 - The Key Of D

The key of D is next in our series. It has two sharps, F# and C#. This lesson includes a couple sight reading exercises, with attention paid to what I call a “pre-flight check”, meaning look over the notes for surprises, rhythm and timing, possible fingering problems, and a few other things. We also go into playing in higher positions on the guitar as well as playing the scale in thirds.
