  1. Yeah but the problem isn't that i don't know how many times a riff happens, but that i just keep making errors in the riff because i can't remember it right :/ Also the focus thing might be the problem too, my wife watches TV all evening and i don't have an extra room to put my instruments in, the TV is pretty distracting yeah..
  2. Guitar and keyboard both about 9 to 10 months ago, guitar isn't going as well because i'm focusing on keyboard, but basically when i can play something on keyboard it's not that hard on guitar anymore, i just make more mistakes on guitar because i play it less. I'm not really looking for an instructional video but maybe someone who has some tricks on how to memorize it more easily . I do practice certain parts a lot, but often i even forget what songs I learned.. Sometimes i can remember the name of the song but no clue how it goes, or a part of the song and no idea how the rest goes. I do only recall the songs by hearing the tunes in my head, maybe it's better if i try to remember the notes themselves, but from where i am now that sounds pretty hard to achieve (i'm not great at reading notes, i manage, but it takes time, and memorizing by picturing the notes is pretty much impossible at this moment) I've also tried to just remember what keys i need to play, but then it's still hard remembering the right rhythm.. And yeah, the muscle memory is basically the only thing that makes it doable to play something, that one is going pretty well.. Maybe i should just try with easier or slower music, but i tend to only want to play the things i like to hear, which is mostly the opposite
  3. Hi there, I've been trying to play keyboard and a bit of guitar (because as a metalhead this is a must, right?) for about 9 months now. I can play some tunes, but with a lot of mistakes in it. I think the reason for that is that I can't remember well how a tune goes, especially when it's just background chords (which is the case a lot in keyboards). Two things might be the problem here, first of all when i have a tune in my head, and i try to play it, it sometimes just changes in my head and it feels and sounds like i'm playing it correctly, but then it turns out i'm not, it does usually sound good, but it's not how it goes. Second of all, and this one is really annoying, is that I HAVE to play a song in order to be able to remember it, it's really hard for me to just remember it out of nothing. Now this isn't only the case with music though, it's a problem I have with remembering in general.. I could write the music down but i'm not good enough to figure out all the notes/chords and the most music I like to play is pretty hard to find music sheets of, and in the end i wouldn't like to be so used to just reading the notes (although this would be a better way to memorize it i guess?) Anyways, the reason i'm posting this is because i'm hopeful some of you are able to give me some tips, maybe link me a great video on this matter or something? Thanks in advance!
