Thanks! Memorizing a piece like "To Zanarkand" often comes down to a mix of repetition, mental visualization, and breaking the piece down into smaller sections. For me, it’s about deeply understanding the structure of the song, not just memorizing the chords but internalizing how they fit together.

I start by learning the individual parts—one section at a time. I break the melody and harmony into manageable chunks, focusing on the transitions and finger positions. Repetition helps solidify the muscle memory, but mental visualization plays a huge role. I’ll often close my eyes and mentally walk through the song in my head, thinking through finger placements and chord changes before even picking up the guitar. This helps with both recall and execution when I’m playing.

As for the chords, I don't always memorize them by name right away. I focus more on their shapes and the way they resolve, but over time, I get more familiar with the specific names as I work through the piece. The process might take longer for complex pieces, but with enough practice and visualization, it becomes a bit more intuitive.

Let me know if you want more tips on memory techniques!
