@maxproud You're definitely not too late. All the sudden what you're playing will make a lot more sense and your playing will improve.

Relax...Sight reading is good,But feeling and grooving is just as important...Listen to my Brother 11 coopbass...He has some great advice......

Hey Maxproud,I had one of my teachers(Dr.Allen) tell me that a lot of times ,if ur reading a chart ,it's just a guide line because composers writing this stuff are writing from the piano...I usually write chord changes in each measure.Learn the ensemble parts.(this is good especially if you only have a couple of days to learn without much rehearsal)..I learned if u feel the music,The band or session will flow even better than just reading note to note..If u can rehearse with the ensemble.Better.
Hey Earl,
First off, I love your videos. Very entertaining and informative. I've learned a lot about bass-playing from you. But anyway, cool topic. I've thought about this one a lot. I've been reading music for five years now, for Treble Clef Euphonium (for the school band). Being a self-taught bassist, I have only grazed the surface of sight reading for bass guitar, but I can manage easy tunes. I do however, think that being able to read music is very relevant today and it will definitely ope

Reading helps, but what really helps, IMO, is ANY learning you do. Even beyond music. Taking a class sounds very cool; I'm jellin'! Hey, if you haven't ever checked out Vic Wooten's book 'The Music Lesson'; I think, from 'knowing' you thru these vids, that you would really dig it. Here's the first chapter on audio: victorwootenDOTcom/themusiclesson. Really cool, deep stuff. Rock on! :)
