Acoustic guitar

Read sheet music on acoustic guitar

A free, interactive sight-reading course for acoustic guitar: notes, rhythm, key signatures and the instrument's own notation, with examples that play with a nylon-string sound.

What you’ll learn

How to read notes on the staff and find them on the neck, count rhythms, understand key signatures and intervals, and read the notation used in guitar scores: finger numbers, circled string numbers, barre markings and positions. The goal is to open a simple score and play it slowly, without memorizing it first.

How the acoustic guitar fits in

Every example shows the staff and the neck side by side, and many also show the tab so you can compare both systems. The examples play with a nylon-string sound, and each mission’s practice tip is written for the acoustic guitar: right hand with thumb and fingers, open strings as reference points, and the first positions on the neck.

How it works

There are 14 short missions, 8 to 15 minutes each, with a quick check at the end of every one. The Practice page has games for daily training: find notes, hear rhythms, count intervals and decode key signatures. Everything is free with no sign-up, and your progress stays in your browser.
