I really have to grind it out on the back end of songs.

I’m blaming the fact that I don’t HAVE to memorize much anymore but my kids say I’m just losing my mind

When I was young, I had a hard time memorizing piano pieces.  But I've discovered something that works for me. I listen to and try to play  a song - at a slow speed -  over and over.  THEN I look at a tab version.  Somehow hearing/playing it first and then following it up with visual helps me memorize it pretty easily. Who knew that could work!!

For sure country music is a story in each song. That reminds me of an old joke I heard awhile back. 

What do you get when you play country music backward?

You get back your wife, your dog, and your truck.

I find those ones are easier to remember. I also found that I know the beginning and up to the chorus of a lot of songs lol
