I'm going to have stuff to practice for years. I could really see it benefiting so many aspects of my playing in the long run, and I have to thank TB for getting me into it.

There are a lot of annoying misspellings of accidentals, for one. It still can be a nice reference, but it doesn't work for what I bought it for - sight reading.

Using it for sight reading is a great idea, I personally just use it to cop some licks I dig. |

I think it works great for sight reading! And mistakes make it better - you never know what you're going to see in a reading situation. You might as well be prepared to see anything....
