4 steps to quickly memorize this song: • Listen – listen to 5 different versions. I made this easy for you by selecting my favorite 5 into a Youtube playlist, • Use your Brain – Analyze the structure of the song. How many sections are there? Do chords repeat? What key is it in? Hint: The form is A A B A and LOTS of chords repeat, and the key is G Major or E minor (same thing).

• Learn the Words – Learning lyrics not only helps you to memorize a song but enables you to really dig into the meaning of it. Your national anthem isn’t just a nice melody it has meaning and significance. Autumn leaves is a love song, learn the words and it will show in your playing.
