Sight-reading is the act of seeing a musical note and playing it.<\/p>\r\n<p>Do not be afraid!!<\/p>\r\n<p>The goal when sight-reading is to keep going. When you&#8217;re learning a piece of music, you&#8217;ll use a different process. Then you&#8217;ll want to go slow and minimize mistakes. \u00a0But when sight-reading, it&#8217;s more important to keep your eyes moving forward.<\/p>\r\n<p>Sight-reading is a skill that will help you to learn guitar music quickly and easily, just as having good right-hand technique will help you to play pieces more fluidly.<\/p>\r\n<p>These exercises will help you develop a strategic process for sight-reading on the classical guitar. Soon enough, you&#8217;ll be able to use this process to sight-read classical guitar sheet music and songs of your choosing.<\/p>\r\n<p>Eventually you&#8217;ll be able to sight-read on all of the guitar strings, in all positions. However, if you&#8217;re just beginning guitar or new to sight-reading, it&#8217;s important to start slow.<\/p>\r\n<p>In this guitar lesson, we focus on the notes on the first string, in the first position.<\/p>\r\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">Notes On the First String<\/h2>\r\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.classicalguitarshed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/notes-on-the-staff-1.jpg\" alt=\"notes on the first string\" width=\"300\" height=\"173\" \/><\/p>\r\n<div  class=\"x-column x-sm x-1-3\" style=\"\" ><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/www.classicalguitarshed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/aae2.jpg\" alt=\"aae2\" width=\"150\" height=\"240\" \/><\/p>\r\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/www.classicalguitarshed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/nse2.jpg\" alt=\"nse2\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/div><div  class=\"x-column x-sm x-1-3\" style=\"\" ><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.classicalguitarshed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/aaf2.jpg\" alt=\"aaf2\" width=\"150\" height=\"240\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.classicalguitarshed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/nsf2.jpg\" alt=\"nsf2\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/div> <div  class=\"x-column x-sm x-1-3 last\" style=\"\" ><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.classicalguitarshed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/aag2.jpg\" alt=\"aag2\" width=\"150\" height=\"240\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.classicalguitarshed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/nsg2-1.jpg\" alt=\"nsg2\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/h3>\r\n<\/div><hr  class=\"x-clear\" >\r\n<hr \/>\r\n<p>You will likely be tempted to stop before the end of the video.\u00a0 <strong>Keep going!<\/strong>\u00a0 If you get off, just take a deep breath, find an upcoming note, and jump back into the game.\u00a0 When you push play, commit to the ~3 minutes of sight-reading practice, and finish it, regardless of how many notes you miss.<\/p>\r\n<p>As an alternative, practice with the video for one minute, then pause it.\u00a0 Practice something else.\u00a0 A few minutes later, come back for another minute.\u00a0 Then once more later in your practice.\u00a0 This is called &#8220;interleaving&#8221;, and is wonderful for learning.

You&#8217;ll spend just a minute on each of the four practice areas, rotating between the different parts.<\/p>\r\n<p>It&#8217;s normal to feel challenge on these. You may not fully &#8220;get&#8221; each area before moving on. This may feel a little frustrating at times, but it&#8217;s been proven to help you learn faster, and retain what you learn for longer.<\/p>\r\n<p>So the goal is just to stay focused and keep going. If you don&#8217;t master the material, that&#8217;s fine. Instead, focused attention is the metric for success here.<\/p>\r\n<p>And if you feel like stopping, don&#8217;t! Just keep going.<\/p>\r\n<p>Unlike your average classical guitar lesson, you can practice along with this video as many time per day as you like.

Is there a consistent time you can practice each day?\u00a0 If so, great! Make it a habit by linking practice with whatever comes just before it. For example: &#8220;After breakfast, I pick up the guitar.&#8221;<\/p>\r\n<p><strong>Place<\/strong> &#8211; Keep everything you need in one place.\u00a0 Ideally, you practice away from distraction.\u00a0 So close the door and set the phone to airplane mode.\u00a0 Set a timer so you don&#8217;t have to watch the clock.\u00a0 And remove anything distracting from in front of you.\u00a0 The goal is to focus for a few minutes, so anything that may get in the way, handle it.<\/p>\r\n<p><strong>Materials<\/strong> &#8211; Have everything you need at hand, so you don&#8217;t have to go searching.\u00a0 Have your guitar and tuner ready.\u00a0 Have your papers within reach.\u00a0 Have webpages like this one bookmarked (or use the &#8220;favorites&#8221; button above.)<\/p>\r\n<p>As most classical guitar instructors will tell you, learning classical guitar requires steady and deliberate effort. Work a bit each day to build healthy habits and force out any bad habits.<\/p>\r\n<p>The best way to learn is with small, focus-intensive practice intervals every day. Embrace the long-haul process that is your classical guitar journey.<\/p>\r\n<p>And above all, make success easy.\u00a0 Just one minute of practice counts as a successful practice day.\u00a0 The goal is to have as many successful practice days as possible.\u00a0 So set the bar low &#8211; just pick up the guitar and do something &#8211; anything.\u00a0 And you win for the day!\u00a0 Then tomorrow, do it again.<\/p>\r\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.classicalguitarshed.com\/learn-classical-guitar\">Would you like the Fast Track to be more proficient and fluent on guitar in the least time possible?<\/a><\/h2>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a  class=\"x-btn x-btn-flat x-btn-square x-btn-regular\"  href=\"https:\/\/www.classicalguitarshed.com\/learn-classical-guitar\" title=\"example\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"   data-options=\"thumbnail: ''\">Click Here to Learn More Quickly<\/a>\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\r\n<h5 id=\"h-online-classical-guitar-lessons-amp-courses\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Online Classical Guitar Lessons &amp; Courses:<\/h5>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\r\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/my.classicalguitarshed.com\/level-beginner\/\">Beginner-Level Courses<\/a><\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/my.classicalguitarshed.com\/level-early-intermediate\/\">Early-Intermediate Level Courses<\/a><\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/my.classicalguitarshed.com\/level-intermediateadvanced\/\">Intermediate &amp; Advanced Level Courses<\/a><\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/my.classicalguitarshed.com\/classical-guitar-courses\/\">All Premium Classical Guitar Courses<\/a><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">More free online Classical Guitar Lessons:<\/h5>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/classicalguitarshed.com\/category\/full-lessons-pieces\/\">Free tutorials on pieces<\/a><\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/classicalguitarshed.com\/rcm-bridges-tutorials-lessons\/\">Free lessons on Pieces from RCM Guitar Series<\/a><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Free Classical Guitar Sheet Music &amp; TABs:<\/h5>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/classicalguitarshed.com\/free-guitar-sheet-music\/\">click here to access our free guitar sheet music library<\/a><\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\r\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Further Reading and Exploration:<\/h5>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.classicalguitarshed.com\/classical-guitar-lessons-beginners\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">11 Classical Guitar Lessons for Beginners<\/a><\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.classicalguitarshed.com\/how-to-hold-a-guitar\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">How to Sit and Hold Your Guitar<\/a><\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.classicalguitarshed.com\/tune-guitar-by-ear\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">How to Tune Your Guitar<\/a><\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.classicalguitarshed.com\/learn-guitar-chords\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Why (and How) to Practice Chords<\/a><\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.classicalguitarshed.com\/practicing-chords\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">How to Practice Switching Chords<\/a><\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.classicalguitarshed.com\/classical-guitar-warmup\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">How to Warm Up on Guitar<\/a><\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.classicalguitarshed.com\/beginner-progress-guitar\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">What to Look for in Beginner Success<\/a><\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/classicalguitarshed.com\/how-to-learn-classical-guitar-arpeggios-right-hand-technique\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Next Steps in Right Hand Technique<\/a><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Are you exploring guitar for the first time?
