Traditionally, learning to read the sheet music is hard, and perfecting your technique takes lots of practice.
To fast-track your learning to the point when you can easily play complex melodies quickly, this book is more than just a book. It is an entire course comprising:
- Music scores
- High-quality studio-made audio files, and
- High-definition videos demonstrating the pieces and the techniques at normal speed and step-by-step.
What binds it together is the FAME (Fast Acoustic-guitar Mastery by Example) method for the rapid guitar mastery, developed by Dr Alex Davidovic and Professor Milan Mitic. The FAME method works in classroom situations with a teacher, or in one-on-one training with an instructor, or when you learn on your own. In any case, it makes it possible to play the great tunes that students typically learn after 2 or 3 years of music school in a matter of weeks. It truly is the closest you'll ever come to a 'magic bullet'.
FAME is a simple, straightforward and highly efficient 4-step method:
- Listen
Listen to the studio recording and visualize playing it. - Watch
Watch the video while skimming over the sheet music, the left hand and the right hand technique. - Do
Watch the step-by-step slow-motion part of the video with the sheet music in front of you, and learn the whole song, bit by bit, and - Repeat
Practice until it's perfect!

About the Author: Dr Alex Davidovic is the expert for the rapid knowledge acquisition. His PhD on adaptive tutoring systems has served as the basis for developing the Computer Programming for Kids course, a host of numeracy and literacy applications, and the high-performing acoustic guitar tutorials. Following his graduation from the Music Academy in 1996, Milan Mitic performed in solo guitar concerts all over Europe. When asked about his favorite personal moments, Milan singled out the ovations he received at DEIA Music Festival in Palma De Mallorca, Spain, and the incredibly enthusiastic reception of his lectures at the Conservatory of Karditsa and Thessaloniki, Greece.
