One of the things that the Mudcat has become is a place for newer performers to learn from experienced players willing to share their tips.Would everyone be so kind as to share some of their tips for memorizing lyrics? Chord structures as well.
For me, it is all about repetition until it becomes second nature. My mind builds links based on visualizing the story being told.
Memorizing chords has more to do with a basic understanding of music theory and song structure.
How's that for dry advice.
All the best,
