Me too. If I constantly look at the chords I never have to recall a chord from memory, so I'm not making a whole lot of progress on the memory front. So sometimes I'll stop playing for like 5 (even 10 seconds) b/c I can't remember the next chord, until finally I remember it, and once I do that I almost always remember that chord change.


If you learn how to play songs, then you learn songs. If you learn how to improvise, then you learn music.
