Listen "New Tool! Sight Reading Trainer"
Episode Synopsis
The perks of membership keep coming! I finally got this thing working - "Fly Shit" is a thing built in MAX/MSP that generates sight reading material based on all kinds of settings. Make it as easy or hard as you want, customize to the range and tempo, melodic and rhythmic material, and never run out of sight reading material again. This is something that I wish I had when I was younger, because sight reading on guitar is hard, and many of us suck at it.Right now, you can download this version here and use it right away if you have MAX/MSP. If the display doesn't look right, you will need to download an additional package called "BACH" that includes the score display and the pitch circle. I'm working on making a standalone version that works like a regular app, but it's not as easy as I thought.If you don't have MAX (it is expensive), I'll be doing some guided practice sessions here for sight reading, where you just follow along and I'll do different levels of difficulty. Guitar players, we need to get our reading together, and I think this can help!
