very interesting (and for me very relevant) -- i have long argued that people who find it difficult to read sheet music are neither lazy nor stupid (which used to be the common themes of posts on this issue from guitarists who could read sheet music), but instead most likely have a form of dyslexia

similarly my argument with music publishing companies that refuse to provide tab accompaniment to sheet is that they are discriminating against a sector of the public by preventing them having access to music that they have made available to non-dyslexic musicians

Yeah I would like to think it’s my dyslexia, Lul. Tab is great. I also can’t go far up stairs without looking down at them.

That’s me. Which was embarrassing for voice until an instructor shared that Pavarotti couldn’t read music and sang by ear.
