Thread Name: Reading dots
Subject: Reading dots
My sight reading of music for guitar is adequate for working out the melody but not fast enough to reliably play at normal speed. I've just bought a mandolin so need to learn some melodies for that. Do multi-instrumentalists consider that learning to read dots for the mando would be likely to create confusion with the guitar? Would it be better to use only TAB to get familiar with the instrument?
