i'm curious as to how other people go about learning the words to the songs that they have written so that they can prepare for a live show or just to record them in a studio without the need of paper? i usually prerecord the song at home on my humble set up, burn it to disc and then listen to the song over and over trying to sing along with it until i have it down. it usually takes me about 5 hours a day for a few days to get one song down really good. the first day is usually shaky but after i go to sleep and everything is stored in my short term to long term memory i wake up the second day knowing the tune pretty much from front to back and usually around the third day i have everything down pat. I know that there are people out there who could write a song in a couple of hours and then perform the entire song on the spot. Jay Z doesn't even write his songs, he just sits in the studio listening to the beat for a few hours then gets up to record the whole song that he just wrote in his head, Jesus Christ!
