Maybe I'm the one that eats macaroni, paste and boogers. I've tried learning to read and still can't.

^ Added a clip (about 30 sec) of the solo it was transcribed from to the original post..

Ray, I wish I had some magical advice to offer ya Truth is, it's just one of those things that ya have to do a lot until ya get comfortable with it. I guess an analogy is; when you read aloud words from a book you've done it so often for so long it just happens. Same thing, it takes time to train your brain to have your hands and ears respond to the visual information. For whatever it's worth, I see it recommended often to break the rhythm and pitch apart when you're starting out. i.e. read through the notes and play them with no rhythm then go back and tap the rhythm out and finally put them together and, always sing the parts... Your ultimate goal is to have that all come together in your head, in an instant, prior to it being sent out for execution.

All I can tell ya is if ya work at it a little bit every day it will come quicker than ya think.

Damn I hate it when I sound like I'm preaching...
