Re: Memorizing Chords and Progressions
From Pete Martin - " Work on training your ear how to fit chords to a melody.." Work on training your ear - period !!. Regardless of whether you read music notation &/or TAB,you still need a 'good ear' for your music,especially in the event of playing 'on the fly' with other folks = Jamming. Having done just that for over 50 years,i can pick up on a melody line very quickly,& you get to anticipate chords / chord changes very easily as well - unless a melody happens to be a tad complex.
'Ear playing' is something that really does need to be a part of your playing - there's no music or TAB for many tunes,so you need to be able to play them by ear - however,i suspect that we ALL know that !,
