1. Well this is pretty normal..Especially when learning solo lessons (note for note)..Best thing you should do when practicing is to be very focused while playing , and when you learn the lesson by heart play it almost everyday once until you really know it by heart...Than the period of "refreshing" memory will shift to longer times.We all tend to forget songs from time to time , so regular refreshing is needed...Also your memory capacity will grow once you learn a lot of lessons/songs..Just be focused as much as you can while learning, don't rely on muscle memory.
2. This is ok too, when we don't play for some time instrument just feels weird..With a lot of practice you should be back on track and feel much more connected to the instrument and loose the weird feeling. -------------------- For GMC support please email support (at) guitarmasterclass.net

I'm with Bole here - you have to play the lesson that you have learned for some longer periods of time in order to really become embedded in your memory. If you learn it and then don't play it - it's no wonder you will forget it of course. The guitar is meant to be played, and solo memory is something you have to practice as well. It's not all about fretting the notes, it's about memorizing hte melody and being able to reconstruct it later with your fingers.

Learn scales, then you'll remember the phrasings, instead of the actual notes. Phrasings are much harder to forget.
and secondly, play more. |

I think it´s beneficial to have some small amount of time from your practice just dedicated to refresh things.
It´s much easier to play a hard solo let´s say every two weeks, than trying to remember it from scratch when you want to play it again -------------------- my "Thank you GMC!" video
