    Another realisation /tip I worked out recently. Tony talks about getting rid of distractions when trying to learn something new and difficult. the brain/sub conscience seeks comfort in doing something easier/safer. I think sometimes I do this with the sheet music it’s my distraction. my goal is to learn the music but I find it difficult so resort to looking back at the tab. I’ve recognised this behaviour and trying to use it to my advantage so set a timer and set aside time to try play something I’m learning without looking at the tab. Hope this makes sense/ helps. I still find memorising very difficult but looking forward to getting better at it.

    Hey NW7 I had this same realisation recently. I got very good at playing and reading tabs but never really retained anything as I trying to play without the tab the skills were there but I need the tabs to prompt me even after practicing a piece hundreds of times. I’m working on this now and treating it as a learned skill. Like you said playing with your eyes closed has really helped with this and trying not to be reliant on the tabs also trying to recognise patterns with the sound and putting them together rather than learning single notes is proving helpful for big chunks.

    I’ve learnt about 5 songs now after not knowing any after about 7 months of playing. I’d love to hear anyone else’s tips for learning to memorise songs

    Patience and trusting In the process always seems to be my answer when I start to feel like I’m hitting the wall think if it as a mantra and whatever playing your doing is all money in the bank.

    Also maybe it’s time to mix it up a bit find new stimuli athletes seem to train and work in 3 month cycles then work on some something else. Learning music and coordination might be different from training muscles but thinking like this helps me from stagnating.
