SoundStart for Guitar by Brian Appleby

A different approach than ApRo Guitar, this uses the tunes from SoundStart to introduce music reading to guitar players who may have little or no reading experience.

The set consists of 36 pages and over 120 short tunes, all in the Key of C, starting with very simple three note tunes and progressing through a range of notes.
