Pete Academy Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 We have decided to resurrect a song that we haven't played for over five years. Whenever this happens I expect to spend hours re-learning it. However, as soon as I started playing along to the track, it all came flooding back,.and I nailed it no time. Anyone else found this has happened? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimR Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 Don't think many complex tunes. The other day the new band I'm in suggested we did an Iron Maiden tune. I said I'd played The Trooper in a band in 1987 and that was the last time I'd played it. We played it top to bottom having never played it together before. Weird.

swanbrook Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 Yup rhythm stick !! Played it years ago and went to relearn it a few weeks back and it took about ten mins to fall into place. I guess all the hours the first time around paid off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimR Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 That is still a song I must learn. Project for tonight when the misses is out. Isn't there a Rhythm Stick thread somewhere? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spike Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 With me I wouldn't say it was total recall but it does surprise me how easily I can remember songs that I haven't played for years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fat Rich Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 Nope. Gone forever, unless it's a truly memorable tune I really enjoyed playing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
