hello Hayden
I am one of the people having so much difficulties to remain standard .
So i am still looking for the right way to learn them
One of the reason is i am so hungry and not enough focus on one song long enough . And i have now the ability to read sheet music pretty well so it make the process of learning a song more quickly and more quickly forget it
So i help my memory with the analysis of songs (not much about that on the site just some basic in the “how to accompany singers” and at the start of some songs ; any reason ?)
And pretty lot of jazz teachers tell about not reading any chords but only learn by ear from some record to even more being inside the song, and this method even longer could never forget it .
I will probably try this too.
here s a link who eplain the process : https://www.jazzadvice.com/breaking-down-the-jazz-repertoire-part-1-it-could-happen-to-you/ very interesting just discovering it
another about https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nMiCg8sDQh4
any idea how to combine all this together … and your opinion about it.
Thanks
Pierre
