Thanks for all the feedback.
My resume: it takes more than one “task” to keep songs “alive”:
A) PLAYING
– learning the songt a first time very thoroughly
– playing the songs very reguarly until they are in the back pocket
– still play the songs – but not so frequently
B) ORGANIZATION
– keeping track of the songs you have learned
> saved on the computer “with search option” OR
> printed and filed in just one folder OR
> a sheet with the songs and an regularly checked assessment how goot you can play them ( I use a simple chart with all songs once learned listed and five emojis to mark (🤩 🙂 😏 🧐 ☹))
– planning which songs to play how often and when
– considering thoroughly which songs are worth learning
C) TIME
D) the insight abolut 100% all the time PERFECTION is not even possible for Tommy Emanuel
Right now C) is the most challenging aspect for me. Life ist busy. Therefore I booked a 4 day trip – just me and my guitar. I´ll be away at the end of the month. And hope to reactivate quite a few songs. I let you know it the plan worked out after the trip.
Thanks again!
