Reddit reviews Sight Reading for the Classical Guitar, Level IV-V: Daily Sight Reading Material with Emphasis on Interpretation, Phrasing, Form, and More

Try 'Sight Reading For Classical Guitar' by Robert Benedict -

Level I-III and

Level IV-V

Also, Trinity College's 'Sound At Sight' books are very useful for practice -

Grade Initial-3

Grade 4-8

I also find Julio Sagreras's First, Second and Third Lessons In The Guitar very useful for both sight reading and developing my right hand technique.

Don't try and speed up the process, it takes a long time and steady practice.

Get this book;

And then when you have finished that one, get this one;

And then you should feel confident to play most things.
After those books, I'd recommend folk and bluegrass sheet music as the timings are quite simple (mostly triplets or 16ths throughout).

Jazz and the like will be much harder to read but you'll get there IF you practice.

I recommend reading basic exercises in higher positions. That's the best way I've found. That said - I do like these two sight reading books:

Sight Reading Classical Guitar Levels I-III


Sight Reading Classical Guitar Levels IV-V

They appear really basic but there is more to them than meets the eye as far as phrasing, musicality and rhythms go. I read the first volume all in higher positions for the challenge. The second volume has upper position playing and covers a lot of common classical guitar styles in short snippets. I have them both and they are both worth checking out.

For the sight reading, I can't recommend these books enough (this is the higher level one, there's another lower one)

The exercises are written for guitar, rather than keyboard, they progressive smoothly, and there's plenty of good advice in the notes.

I'm not sure if you've looked at online courses - I use Classical Guitar Corner's and am very happy, but I don't know what else is out there.

> Anyway all the resources out there seem to focused on dead beginners playing songs that I can play drunk and on fire.

That kind of rings an alarm bell with me. Are you playing with your left and right hand in good position? How's your tone? If that's all good, fine.

Pumping Nylon is great. I'd also look at Noad's classical guitar tutors, which I found very valuable.

Good luck!
