Why I focus on the guitar neck rather than the sheet reading itself is because playing to sheet music is a twosided thing: Understanding the score as it is written and mapping that onto the guitar. These two exercises help you into thinking in tems of notes rather that fretboard positions. This will improve your familiarity with the placement of the notes on the neck.
Play scales and say the names of the notes out loud as you play them. When this works, continue with the other strings. That is, learn the notes on the low E-string and the relation between those notes and the notes on the higher strings so that you without thinking can fret a certain interval. Learn the notes on the neck by heart, and the associated intervals. But there are some things you can focus on to speed up the process: Yes, unfortunately it's all about practice. How can I learn to more quickly and fluently read sheet music for the guitar? Do I just need to keep trying it, spending a good chunk of my practice time just struggling to read a few bars of a melody, or are there any good exercises I can do to help develop my fluency in smaller, more manageable chunks?
Needless to say, it's a fairly slow and laborious process to translate from the paper into something I can play. I know the basics of sheet music I can work out the melody if I sit down for a while, muttering mnemonics under my breath and counting frets up the neck while picturing a piano keyboard to figure out where there's a half step between notes instead of a whole step (not to mention trying to work out the rhythm very slowly by counting "one-ee-and-a two-ee-and-a" and getting lost a lot of the time because the rhythm doesn't sound right at that slow a pace). He has a lot of good tips for how to practice and drill chords, and scales, but he doesn't have much information on how to learn to read sheet music. I'm learning guitar right now, mostly from Justin Sandercoe's free online lessons, starting from the beginner's course.
