Question: How do you get a guitar player to turn his volume down? Answer: Put a piece of sheet music in front of him!. I found this joke and that shows us how much sightreading is ignored by guitarists. Hi. I'm new here but I love a good musician joke. So following your lead Vinod ... "How do you get a keyboard player to turn down? ...Take the sheet music away". ![]() In all seriousness though reading is tough on string instruments due to the many possible options for playing the same note. For example middle C (second space from the top of the staff) on a standard electric guitar can be played in 5 different places. Knowing which one is best is dependent on the context - it's relation to what you play before and after it. It's really great to see a dedicated music reading section on this website. It's pretty rare actually. Bravo to Vinod and the webmasters! I used to be a terrible reader. When I started high school I auditioned to be in the jazz band. I passed the audition but every player in the jazz band also had to play in the concert/marching band - no exceptions. Well, there's no guitar in concert band so I learned (was forced ![]() ![]() *If you can put in 20 minutes a day 5 or 6 days a week (patiently) on sight reading you will notice improvement in about a month. Again, it's pretty awesome that there's a 'reading' section here! -------------------- - Ken Lasaine
