Hi @stevieblues , remembering the information presented in FW can be a challenge. I can appreciate your frustration. To help myself with that I employed a couple strategies ( pretty much covered in the comments above already).
First, I internalized that FW is not a sprint – no need to hurry through it. I am really taking my time with each step of the lesson. Depending on how quickly I grasp it or due to time constraints this may happen over weeks.
Second, I really utilize the PDF reference provided with the redo of FW. It captures all the key things to remember. It is a great reference.
Third, I have taken time to create my own references (examples: Major and minor chord matrices for each of the 7 letters of the musical alphabet). Then I compare the matrices to chord diagrams that note the majors and minors in the chords to see if I have it right. Then I use them to play “chord scales” as part of my warm up.
Finally, I set out in a practice session with an intent to utilize some part of FW in a real world application. For example listening to a song I play regularly to figure out the chords using the chord matrix as my guide, or figuring out notes in the scales provided in the daily challenge)
The main thing that is connecting all of the above is taking my time and repeating my exposure and application of the material.
@N-lightMike and @Cadgirl covered most all of these strategies in their posts. Sorry for the repetition, however wants to let you know I am also in the “little by slow” mode with FW.
Hang in there and stick with it, @stevieblues ! Celebrate the process of learning and exposure to the info. That in itself is a win!
