I am still leaning twords marking the neck some whay for now. I mean the
dots or block inlays are there for that reason for sighted players so....
And yes I know classical players don't have any markers and bass players
don't even have frets . 
Thanks again for the imput

I can't think of any tricks, really.  I think slow practice would help.

Hay Peter,
Great to hear from you.  Hope you are doing well.
  Its been a long time.Trust me I know when I land in the wrong place and
you are right its only a fret off one way or the other.  
The difference in the neck of my acoustic and the electric I used to play
is not helping matters as the space between frets seems greater than I
remember.  I was just hoping someone out there might have a short cut or
little trick to help.  As you say with time I am sure I will get better at
it.
Get in touch off list if you want.
Bill

Hi Bill,
As an accomplished saxophone player you have an advantage because you have
a trained ear.
It?™s simply takes practice to land on the right fret.
Usually you will find that you are only off a fret or so.


 Once you realize this with a quick adjustment you can move up or 
down to where you need to be.

   This was a mystery two me until I lost my site
