People often use memory association devices to remember names. For example, I would remember a friend at the gym named “Warren” by associating him with a famous Supreme Court judge, Chief Justice Warren. Silly as this association is, it works for me. I always remember my friend Warren’s name. Memory association devices might be viewed as a form of contextual learning. In the example I just gave, Warren’s name is given a “context” (albeit contrived) which facilitates memorization and retrieval. In a similar manner, memorization and retrieval of guitar chord forms can be greatly enhanced by contextual learning. However, rather than using a silly or contrived context, the method adopted in this book is based on the objective relationships of chords and chord forms. The result is a two-fold benefit — easier memorization and reinforcement of chord theory. Simply stated, contextual learning is the smart way to study chord forms. |
