    Help with (re)learning how to sight read music

    Hey bherman, a suggestion would be for you to take a look at "Slap It! Funk Studies for the Electric Bass by Tony Oppenheim". It helped me a lot with my reading. there´s also an MI book that is very simple and costs less than 10 dollars, but it may help. "Music Reading for Bass - The...
