    To “memorize” something- don’t you have to have already “learned” it?– (example– you have to DO something before you can remember what you did….).

    The learning part is what’s fascinating to me. Some can learn a song by being able to just HEAR it and play along intuitively- (wow that’d be cool!). Some learn a song by repitition/repitition/repitition until it’s ingrained in their head and/or can “mostly” play it from the tabs. Some maybe learn a song more by memorizing each note.

    We’ve all seen a high-school band or orchestra play thru a song- they all turn the page at the same time- just reading off the sheet music. Maybe it doesn’t even matter to them what the song is- they are just playing notes one after one, and not learning the song at all…. in this case it seems to a certain extent like they aren’t learning or memorizing the song.

    Maybe different methods work for different people- (that’s my best guess).

    I need another cup of green tea-
