Re: Do you memorize notes?

Hard sections = memorized.

Re: Do you memorize notes?

I memorize the hard streams in songs, the rest I don't.

Re: Do you memorize notes?

My brain doesn't memorize them but my fingers do. :-3

Re: Do you memorize notes?

I usually have the general rhythm of a song memorized if I've played it often. But usually I just memorize the location of hard parts and leave it at that.

I do have a few sections of CIA Rave memorized, though. I used to play that song 10+ times every day.

Re: Do you memorize notes?

It's almost impossible to actually "memorize" steps. However you have whats called muscle memory where your body reacts to what the brain interprets as if you've memorized whats coming next. That's how you get better at the game. :P

The only time I try to memorize anything are the parts of some songs that I find difficult to combo (or PA). After that, it just becomes a part of my muscle memory, and it's all good. :P

In before midday.
And no, i don't memorize notes.
I mostly remember the arrow patterns. From repetition I guess, I do certain patterns without really thinking about the notes... muscle memory :S?

Yeah, that's the beauty of a game like this. Not only is it fun, but your improving your mental reflexes.



I know you can remember steps. But it takes a lot of work to remember a whole song. But I remember seeing a few videos on the internet of a Asian kid playing it blind folded. LOL.



I think you just remember certain patters and they become hardcoded into your brain. So after a while as soon as you see that pattern you brain reacts fast to it. More neuropsies connected.

Re: Do you memorize notes?

I inherently memorize them... But if I try to actively remember then, it doesn't work. Same way with me playing violin. If I play it for more than 2 weeks, I will have it memorized.

Re: Do you memorize notes?

I'm all sightread. Off my nuts, please.

LOL, kidding. I've played 19,500 games, there's no way I'm a sightreader, but I definitely don't go out of my way to memorize steps. Once I start playing a song and I keep messing it up, then I'd say I get familiar with the steps, but in no way do I memorize them.

I've got better things to do with my brain cells...like remember how to find the normal vector to the tangent plane of a level surface. Yeah. Eff college.

If you think that's worthless you should see what they teach in graduate level analysis classes... Four years of college have finally prepared me to find lebesgue integrals of functions with respect to finite cross-products of various measure-spaces. All the math that has potential to be applicable in life was relegated to my first two university years and has since largely been forgotten.

Maybe after I graduate I should enroll at some sort of institution which will prepare me for a viable career -- does such a place exist?

Re: Do you memorize notes?

Unless I have played a song hundreds of times, I will not memorize the exact steps. However, I will memorize where certain patterns are. Example: I know when the trills in Vertex BETA are, I just don't recall which exact notes they are.

Re: Do you memorize notes?

I usually remember the parts and patterns of songs, but not the specific arrows. I know where there are jumpstreams, trills, streams, jacks, and other patterns, but I don't really want to remember whether it's left, down, up, or right.

Quick! Somebody memorize MAX Forever and play it on hidden! It's only 3000 arrows or something. You can do it.

Re: Do you memorize notes?

There is really no right or wrong way but as you get more experienced, you tend to memorize the hardest sections of the hardest songs over time because there is no other way to AAA them. Especially songs with close arrows. (Even though I'm still relatively inexperienced, that is my impression.)
