Great stuff.....however, a friend of mine (and yes, he's one of those that play several instruments......by ear) says that you can "hear" which way the song is going. If the song is in A, then you should be able to, by process of elimination, and in the time it takes to change chordes, know what the next chord should be.
Im self taught (2 years now and a vocab of swear words from frustration that would make a sailor jealous). I can play mostly all open chordes as well as the basic barre chordes, but for the life of me, cannot remember chorde sequences.
We have started playing a few gigs, but becomes a hassel setting up as its the mics, music stands, books, monitors, etc
