1. Find a spot on the guitar where the notes lay comfortably. 2. Play the notes slowly as quarter notes. 3. Clap or beat the rhythm slowly without the guitar. 4. Slowly play the notes in rhythm gradually increasing the tempo. I use this technique with my students. It never fails. Practicing reading rhythms is a good addition to the sight reading regimen. When I attended GIT, we practiced common rhythms and syncopations as part of the sight reading class. Regards, monk |

| I sight read slowly. And I mostly write my own stuff and when I do something else I already know the tune and I am doing it because it is already part of me. But sometimes when I look at (written for the piano) I am suprised.

| Good analogy. You have to solve a crossword puzzle one word at a time but as you do so, solutions to other parts of the puzzle begin to appear. As you progress, the task becomes easier. Playing & learning music is really about problem solving. The best way to solve a multi-faceted problem is to break it down into its smaller parts and solve each one individually. Many times people try to bulldoze their way through a musical problem and fail or give up when the easier thing to do would be to break the large problem into smaller components to be solved individually. Someone asked Howard Roberts the best way to learn Flight of the Bumblebee. His answer was "One note at a time". Regards, monk |
