Sight reading is difficult for guitar because there is obviously more than one place to play a single note. Also, there are "on-the-fly" decisions about which right and left hand finger to use to play notes. I've never found memorizing the notes on the staff, etc. difficult, it's always where and how to play those notes. These to me are the some of the main reasons why guitarists don't sight read well . Of course one can learn to sight read fairly well for guitar, but it's a lot more difficult than sight reading for piano. The right hand fingers have to be able to go on "automatic" also in order to sight read. I think the best things that a guitarist can do to learn to sight read better, is to transpose passages to other parts of the neck and also to learn scales. Also, one has to learn to make the right hand work automatically, that takes a lot of practice. IMHO that's totally wrong. Pianists use ten fingers in a gazillion of ways on a 88 keys keyboard. They also read music on two staffs (sometimes more), and it's often way more complex than guitar music.Piano offers more possibility for sight-reading anything because it's both very polyphonic and very suitable for virtuosity, and there are chances you won't be able to see a guitarist read an orchestral sheet, but I'm convinced the truth is that a lot of guitarists are bad sight-reader because they just don't practice it.How many guitarists sight-read a lot of material regularly ? How many guitarists know how to use tonal harmony on guitar (since it's a polyphonic instrument we should be able to read a melody and harmonize it. Jazz guitarists do it.) ? How many guitarists often play with other instrumentalists in ensemble - in some places it seems to be a bit more frequent than in the rest of the guitar world, but still - ? And so on.Moreover, in most of the music for guitar the chords we find are the same, sometimes a bit modified, but the still the same, and the "same note in different places" thing is also true for the violin/viola/cello/double-bass/etc. if I'm not mistaking (:
