Sight Reading Party
Sight reading in this case means what you consider sight reading. But, the first time you play it, is a must.

Great job everyone,  

I'm  a poor sight reader and would much rather play by ear.

However,

I've had the privilege of playing with some top tier musicians, some were strictly sight readers, and some played by ear. However the most impressive ones could do both seamlessly.

I'm incapable of sight-reading anything. But it's nice to see you guys. Impressed.

Some nice playing on here well done all. I personally have to hear a tune before sight reading, but I actually prefer picking tunes up by ear, unless they are too complicated.

I have read a few straight off but they are more simple tunes to be honest.

@ELCBK Oh I agree. I told him not to do the repeats because I had very little storage in my video camera with less than a minute left and we wanted to get in as much as possible therefore we didnt do repeats.
