Does that sound right ?
Hi,
No, when I mean memorize the song I mean the guitar. When I listen to songs I mostly focus on the instrumentation. I know I'm not the only one who can "sing" a great many guitar solos. So knowing the flow of the music from start to finish helps me have, at least, a basic understanding of what I'm about to learn should sound like.[br][br]
Once I know the guitar parts in my head then I learn how to play them from the tabs and once that's all done I play along with the (usually) single guitar performance videos.

Also bear in mind that this is my usual method. I don't follow it rigidly and I'm no expert to take advice from 😄
