V8
V8 I think this is weird - I mean you've learnt the song, the muscle memory is there if your fingers can follow in real time?
It is really weird, but I think I can explain it. When you are learning a song from a normal tab, you are forced to feel the song more since the timing of each note/chord is entirely up to you. With Yousician, you get the note/chord and its exact timing fed to you visually. This means that your brain can pretty much turn off - its only your fingers that need to keep up.
When I learn a song from a normal/paper tab I retain it much better than with the Yousician scrolly-tabs.
V8 One huge caveat...If I don't maintain what I've learnt, it'll likely be forgotten. There's much riffage I've forgotten because I didn't maintain it after learning. It's not uncommon - my mate teaches at COPA, he can play the paint off a classical - but maintaining his repertoire of classical pieces to performance level is around 3hr/day...before he learns anything new!
This is very true, maintenance is key. My brain is mush so if I don't repeat things regularly they go right to the recycle bin.
