This is the best explanation I've heard of how to practice songs I'm learning in their various stages. The concept of not overlapping songs in similar stages is gold! I'll be adjusting my practice routine to revisit songs I've learned but forgotten, those I'm still learning, and those I'm refining. Much appreciated.
Very interesting indeed. I have noticed this phenomenon myself in my learning. I recently tried to learn two fairly involved ragtime picking patterns on my guitar. After making what I thought was good progress on both of them, I called it a day. The following day, I picked up the guitar but struggled to even remember how the patterns sounded in my head, let alone play them. I had to revisit the TH-cam videos to listen to them again. Definitely some interference happening I reckon. Day two basically felt like I was starting the learning process from the very beginning again. I decided to focus solely on one of the tunes in subsequent practice sessions, and I have been making better progress.
So can you use technique and structure identification to improve rate learning to move to the other stages? Also what does the long term studies show in the aging brain?
Question: You have played and upload so many songs and tunes to this channel: Do you remember them all - do those neuro's disappear? Also, is playing an instrument just a set of set songs you have learned, or can you create whatever whenever? Thanks
Maybe a better question would be how many different techniques should I learn because tunes are more similar to stories where techniques would be similar to words. Many people can listen to a story and not get it confused with another story if it's a good story. Where other people who are trying to memorize a phone book would become easily frustrated because the differences aren't interesting.
My question is regarding a new song. How does the process work with learning the words as well as the tune. Do I break them apart and learn them separately moving through the stages? For example to be able to sing the song up until stage 2 before I start working out the tune in a stage 1 and once it reaches stage 2. Once both the song and tune have reached a stage 2 individually, take the whole song with the tune back to a Stage 1 and rework them together. Sounds confusing, but I hope what I'm trying to say makes sense.
Very interesting, many thanks! Any thoughts as to how many bars constitutes Stage 1? For example - should we try to learn 4 or 8 bars together, or get to two bars at Stage 2 before moving on to bars 3 and 4 at Stage 1? If you see what I mean :- )
Interesting. I've always thought my inability to learn and remember songs was because of my adhd but now I wonder if it's because I always try to learn and practice too many songs at once? Going to try just doing one song a day for awhile and see how it goes

You bet! Thanks so much for your comments.
Great content as usual JT!

Very cool. Appreciate the info for my personal use and for my students! (K6 music teacher)
