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 and high-definition videos demonstrating the pieces and the techniques at normal speed and step-by-step.
What binds it together is the FAME (

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!
