I grew up playing trumpet and horn, and was a very good sight reader. Why? Because I’d been playing since 3rd grade. Now that I have switched to bass clef, I have to start over getting this staff in my head, and the notes under my fingers. So I picked up Jim’s Reading Level 2. I also recently bought Reading Motown Bass, which is fun and just challenging enough to force me to learn the fretboard. All of his books are top notch instruction.

Jim... Reading music is so important, and changes everything for the better. Those music rudiments (reading, circle of fifths, harmonizing scales and modes, recognizing rhythm patterns via note reading) are critical for being able to learn new music fast which is the key to being a professional.

@@realbasslessons9356 Been playing a long time - nearly 50 years - and can read treble and bass clefs but nothing too difficult. Can do straight wholes, halves, quarters, and most eighths, rests and notes, without much trouble. Can get thru runs in straight 16ths (no rests stuck in them) if I start slow and build up. Where I start having trouble are odd timings, rhythms, and sequences, mixed 8ths, 16ths, (notes and rests), and dotted 8ths/16ths. Which book should I start with in your reading series?

Hi professor. There are two awesome sight reading books you did on walking blues and rhythm changes. Total bar count approx. 3000 measures. On the latter you can easily run II-V’s by just messing with the m3’s. You should plug these books. They are invaluable. But what ever happened to the much anticipated pro line walking with a release date of 2/19? It just disappeared on stinnettmusic.com?

Charlie (?), it is never too late. I promise you. Here is my suggestion: 1. get the book " Integrated Reading Technique" . www.stinnettmusicbookstore.com/stinnett_music_book_store/irt.html 2. After you have the book, download the first 5 "Follow The Book" videos www.stinnettmusicdownloadables.com/Stinnett_Music_Downloadables/follow_book_integrated_reading_techinque.html . and get into it! In this series of short lessons I teach every example in the book, one by one. These lessons have been HUGELY successful for all who have worked with them. They are very specific and personal instruction. Just remember, they will not work if you do not work. Practice exactly as I tell you to on the video. You will see tremendous success. Let me know your progress. :) .
