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!
