FINISHING YOUR SONGS/LOOPS

 
Once you've learned your song so that you know all the general outline, you may notice after you've learned a few songs that while it may sound good if you've learned it well, in order to learn it well you have some realms of the song may take more practice than others to learn. One important cause of the unevenness is where you have the same way you play the song on your instrument and then suddenly you have to to change to something like another set of strings that are unalike and that may take alignment on the second strings in just the way to not be in error for another general realm of your song. If you know the basics well by the other methods on this site you may realize the song isn't finished without these two motifs of your tune being strongly linked, otherwise you end up with the basic building block sets of motifs each based on the ease of playing a set of chords or notes on one set of strings because these are easy to learn because they are alike, and the more awkward changes between these general building blocks of your song, which may sound like an awkward pause in your timing where the song you go from the first strings to the second in the live recording. With the song mostly finished as I achieve my songs where I have the building blocks themselves in good and mostly edited up say more than 75% finished, here's how to link the building blocks, which are pure abstraction because they have nothing to do with the sound, they're actually about making it seem like the two sounds are continuous, actually about the lack of sound, and this is totally about the instrument, not the sound itself just how to achieve it, so here in particular the loop method is of worth. Otherwise this is often the toughest thing about finishing a song with awkward pauses left after you've edited up the rest well.


  Loops are a way to solve this memory problem. Say you have section A and B in your tune with an awkward pause caused by change of your hand and you want to link them. By the usual method of trying this real of the tune and you know by trial and error, or what your instructor or other source of information is about how to achieve it, and you know in general what you want to achieve, you can be more exact by forming a theory and then seeing if it is of worth from your database of trial and error from your memory bank. If it's a problem, and by this method of trying out solutions to fit the problem, once you find a solution that's complete for the problem (here about the connection in the tune between two unalike realms) you can then practice the link by starting halfway or wherever in the leading set of motifs of part A and then playing through continuously to say halfway through the B motif of your song in a loop always starting at that time and finishing at the same time in your tune when you practice then or at other times, repeating in words (much more memorable) with each rep of the loop what your conclusion about the problem and solution of the link was to essentially smooth out the link for a continuous song.

Loops are good for editing up your song once you have the general outline 3/4 or more in memory as you like. While you practice on your edited tune and you want to make it in higher resolution in memory, creativity and skill, say if you have some doubt about some notes of your song, sometimes you don't get it right and other times you do, or if it's incomplete at that realm, you can make a loop when you make an error and edit up right at that time with the loop starting somewhat before that realm and finishing after, with the problem solution motif like science, and once you're sure you've got it right, you can use the loop to repeat it with the words that reinforce the conclusion of your trial and error. You can do not as much or much, often when I practice I use this loop method of problem/solution/expressed in words right when I goof, a sort of first aid of sound, with the song evolving higher with each go round, so it's higher broad and wide in depth.

A good way to use loops is to pick the start and stop times more or less at random (while generally going from start to finish of your song in overall progress, so you go from familiar to augment more and more till the song is finished). This makes it more of a suprise to learn, sort of like looking at a wall from many angles and lights to clean it well, and as usual I use the problem solution in words motif. If you actually use the same loop while you're learning the song and you don't know where you are yet in the song this can cause problems because you may link the start to the finish of the loop and not to anything else so you may forget what comes next in the song and this would take longer to learn. Loops are more in general for finishing out the song, so in general you can try random motifs, improve them, and then use loops to refine and finish your tune, it makes practicing a boost where you have this complex awesome song and you can not only play it, you can definitely improve it.

Another good way to use loops once you know what you want to learn in words, say "speed up here" or " sharp" is to play up to where you want to improve the song and then repeat the loop with the word or words to learn as many times as it takes to achieve it well, going from general to specific. It's good to stop and repeat the words you've learned, especially when you're first learning the song, and especially if you're mostly sure the words are the right ones, repeating them in a sort of religious ritual. You'll give thanks when you realize this works well, and you're a great songsmith and they all shout. The good thing about this use of loops is that you learn both what you want to improve with a bit of hi def resolution, you also learn the general realm on the song around it so you're linking the familiar you've already digested well by use of this method in earlier go rounds with what you want to build up more, both are important to building up your song like an architect builds up a room no doubt both the solid foundation and the construction you add on. It's important to be overfamiliar with the easy parts of your songs, and it's just as important to over power the rest....

One can use simple methods of familiarity for what's easy to learn in the song, and the more science type method to overpower the tougher passages, and once learned, the solutions to these more unintuitive types of problems in the stored A-Z, one can then learn more yet. It's been said most great songwriters "of ideas" don't have to be that great a technician. It doesn't matter how well they play a few rifts of the guitar.

It's true that with your power past a certain level you're just more creative, and if you have more skill yet-even moreso! If i were with good dreams and drink booze, how would be aware of AAA?

ABOUT THE WORD REPS

These are of just two or three general types, higher lower faster slower (and also in out from your instrument, and breathing ect.) These are the most powerful for memory because they are so simple and useful. Provided you're remembering the right way, and this is achieved by e.g. recording your improvs from a good song by others with the original and then finding improvements and edits and (as I say near the top of my main page) you can then refine without violating copyright to make your own tune, even with advice from the trained psychics!

While you always have to remember each note in your song well at least one time, "right" the good news is it gets easier, and the higher lower faster slower method reduces confusion of edits faster being so all powerful. You may go from uncertainty, to seeing how you can reliably make your sound more volume, reliably on schedule, by using this simple method. You have a good inspiration from the original, it's "your own" FOR REAL (by the methods on the 1st page)and it's better if you also do reps of the words to remember with each loop as you practice and edit up your GREAT song (it will be!). The best way I've found is to say the word reps to remember at leat a bit out loud or out loud. I've found this to be a great memory boost of the higher/lower faster/slower method. "Words are of higher dimention". For example in the memory or math olympics for savants, geniuses have done much better with word memory than just numbeer booze memory. And comic strips almost always use the words first and then fit the action. Therefore CHEERIO AWAY and hang on with your song well..
