fred is so right about this. how i wish i knew how to read and write music and not only chord charts. i would know how to play more than a hundred of my own songs that i have forgotten through the years. it is hard enough to figure out what i'm playing and what tuning i am using when i listen to an old tape, but it is virtually impossible to remember the melody, the finger style, the tempo when all you have is a set of lyrics and the chord progressions. what i do think might hamper your musicianship or your creativity is a bad music teacher. when i was a child, i took piano lessons for exactly three weeks. the solfege was ***TOO MUCH***. i wonder if there is any other way to learn how to read and write music. any breakthroughs in sight reading learning techniques? any self-study methods? is solfege all there is to LIFE??????? wallyK, growing frantic now

That's like saying an illiterate person who speaks and thinks well would be hampered by learning to read and write. -Fred
