 Since you  already have a developed ear I would concentrate more on
letting your ear  guide you and your  mustles will figure it out after
time. 
 You might want to learn the long form  pentatonic scale  This will start
you at the fifth fret on the sixth string which is an A and will bring you
all the way down to the high A on the first string.
 I am sorry my musical math is kind of week but at any rate I think it
brings you to something like the 17 fret which covers a lot of frets and
all six strings in one very short excersize.I think you would find it a
grate eccersize to do every day.

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
