Hi Rey.

It's great to see you posting this. I think I have the very same book that I took from my Uni library "free stash".

It's a great way to get your non staff tab reading together.

The tone on your bass side, esp the first vid, seriously sounds like an acoustic 4 string bass.

Cool, looking forward to checking it out man!

I pretty much just make up my own "reading exercises" in Finale. I personally find that focusing on reading for most of my practice time of late is extremely beneficial for me on the Stick... I really notice improvement on a day-to-day basis. That's just me, though.

Reading is great. It makes me keep in time for the most part, at least I can come back to the one sometimes. These first 2 exercises I tried to play correctly, but mostly I improv on the idea. there is a lot of noodling in these things, once you know them, just like any thing you learn. The hard part is deciding which finger will start and where on the fret board, and some things don't work so you have to arrange them for the stick. It is mind numbing the possibilities of this instrument.

Hey Rey.

Try starting on 2nd finger method for melodies, then when you get a maj second interval that is after a small ascending line, go from 3rd to 1st finger when changing strings as you ascend.

Just one approach like you said.
