So my page turner pedal arrived on Monday, and after 4 days of use I have to say it’s kind of a game changer for me. Today I was finally able to play along to Otherside from start to finish without having memorized the entire thing, and without having printed out the sheet music.
It definitely takes some getting used to however, and brings its own challenges. Initially it was quite distracting, and tapping the pedal threw off my rhythm sometimes (my workaround for the time being is that I only flip pages on beat 1). But I can already see the benefits: I spend much less time staring at my fretting fingers, more time reading the sheet music (and getting better at it hopefully), and obviously the main benefit is that I don’t have to forcefully memorize entire songs.
Good stuff, I can only recommend it.
