Hi Danny,

The same here as memory is not so good as it was and of course not playing as many gigs as 10 years ago - surely the reading v memory approach is down to the circumstances/facility of the individual and the varied musicians you play with.

I have known terrific musicians who are brilliant readers and can't memorize and some who play from memory but are poor readers with combinations in between - but they all play good music

I have always found during life that the act of writing things down makes me remember to a higher level as visualisation assists

To this extent BIAB has been a terrific tool because just the act of typing in the chords and melody seems to imprint that in the memory
