Location: Sydney, Australia | I'm working on learning something and then trying to play it without looking at the music. One trick is to take my reading glasses off, so that a quick look at the music doesn't help, but I can still see it in my visual field and don't get nervous. Then I practice turned slightly away from it.
I don't know how people remember large set lists, they must spend a lot of time practising, or their memory is a lot better than mine (or both). |

I think it deminishes the performance.
Its hard enough to play & sing and read to it is just to much, at least for me. |

...they are addictive and keep you from being able to play without one. |

Location: Capital District, NY, USA Minor Outlying Islands | I don't perform many songs at a time, My memory stick has limited capacity, and only delivers the lyrics on a"just in time" basis. Efficient yes, but every once in a while there's a jam up. |
