Fran Thanks for the great suggestion. Yes, for some reason actually writing down the lyrics and chords really does help a lot. Funny thing is that I remember back in school having to write " I will refrain from unecessary talking" like 100 times when I was in the the 4th grade. It didn't seem to work. hmmmmmmmm.
I also noticed that if I work on song memorization an hour BEFORE going to bed at night that our sub-conscious mind is able to further synthesize & solidify this new information WHILE we're asleep. I've waken up in the morning many times to find that the song or lyrics I had been struggling with the night before is now memorized. Amazing! - Scott
