lanark Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 I found this site: [url="http://www.cyberfretbass.com/reading/index.php"]http://www.cyberfretbass.com/reading/index.php[/url] Which is very useful. BUt it stops before you start getting on to accidentals - and the exercises often aren't at all musical, just random notes. Does anyone know of any online resource (preferably free) for me to practice my sight reading? I know my way round a score (I learned up to grade 5 piano) I just need to practice connecting knowing the notes to getting comfortable with their position on the fretboard. Any pointers gratefully received. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the heads up Stevie, and even more thanks to Major-Minor for putting it all together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bilbo Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 I have posted a couple of dozen charts here with dots for this reason. Put 'transcription' in the search heading and mark it headings only. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TKenrick Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 [url="http://garywillis.com/pages/lessons/read.html"]http://garywillis.com/pages/lessons/read.html[/url] A random note generator which is pretty good for working on pitch reading - the fact that it won't make musical sense is actually quite beneficial as it really forces you to look ahead. There are also plenty of transcriptions in the link in my sig. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
