Are you ready to begin playing or take your skills further? We have over two dozen books for ages 12 and up published under our imprint The Missing Method for Guitar. From absolute beginners to intermediate guitarists, we have books that make it easy to learn guitar. Find them all at TheMissingMethod.com.
Learn how to read sheet music and gain a better command of your fretboard in the process! The Missing Method for Guitar Note Reading series works progressively from one string to the next, through every key. Each book moves up a position on the neck so you can master the entire fretboard, from frets 0 to 20!
For many guitar players, the process of learning chords involves a chord chart or chord dictionary and a lot of memorization. We believe there's a better way. That's why we created The Guitar Chord Master series, dedicated to teaching you chords in a progressive manner while you learn common chord progressions and strum patterns you can use to play the songs you love.
Proper technique can avoid injury and enable you to play longer and more consistently. With the Technique Master series from The Missing Method for Guitar, you can work on your technique while you master your scales.
Every guitar player, regardless of experience, needs to be able to write down things they’re learning—from songs they’re working on, to their own riffs, to melodies, arrangements, and chord voicings. Now you have a way of keeping track of this and more with the Guitar Sheets Books.
"A fine first level guitar study."

The Missing Method books were born out of the need for guitar method books that simply didn't exist. We don't replicate what is already working well. We strive to create something new to help you become a better guitar player.

Each book is focused on a particular aspect of guitar playing or technique, so we can go into depth about each subject.
