Learning Classical Guitar Songs

classical guitar songs are really long and often times are not repetitive. they consist of many notes and different chords, and what i was wondering was how do u learn the song? i have been memorizing them but it takes along time, and if i dont play it in a while i forget it! i can remember rock songs and what not, but are there any tricks to learning those beautiful/long classical songs? thanks

I Got Discouraged.

so i recently learned the sweet child of mine song including almost all the solos and what not. i was pretty proud of myself, but than i went on youtube and saw this one cover. it sounded just like slash. and although im playing the same notes, i just cant seem to get the same sound or tone. whats up with that?

Cutaway Classical Guitars

i always wanted a classical guitar, and now that i have some money saved up im gonna buy one. my question is this, Do non cutaway guitars sound better or richer than non cutaways?

And any recommendations for classical guitars in the 300-500 range would be appreciated.

thanks
