When you sing lyrics, sing them with heart and soul. Visualize a story that really affects you so you get emotionally touched by it. So when we want to memorize lyrics we need to figure out what the song is about and visualize the story in our heads so we can relate to it. For example: you probably remember exactly from years ago where you were and what you did when you listened to your favorite songs. Use as much of the five traditional senses as possible: sight, hearing, touch, smell, taste. Your senses are very close attached to your memory. You’re not stuck to a piece of paper and it will definitely make you a better guitar player. The more often you try to remember lyrics and chords the easier it gets and the faster you’ll learn. Wouldn’t it be nice by then, if you could just play something right on the spot instead of saying “I can’t do anything without having my sheet music in front of me”.Īnother advantage is that you train your memory to remember music. or just to try out a guitar in the guitar shop in town.or you want to play some nice songs to entertain a few people on a holiday in the south of France while drinking a cold beer….or you would like to accompany a singer….or a friend asks you to perform a few songs at his wedding or birthday party….Well, let’s say one of these days you’ll have to perform in front of an audience somewhere, somehow. So based on my experience and some research I’ve done I give you some tips to overcome this obstacle.īut why do we need to memorize and remember lyrics and chord progressions? What’s the use of that? I see this in people around me as well finding it difficult to memorize chords and chord progressions. One of the things I have always had a hard time with is memorizing lyrics.
