Quick quiz, which line of a song are you most likely to forget?
If you are anything like me it is the first line. How many times have you sat there playing the intro over and over again trying to remember what the first line to the song is. I won't say it happens often but it happens often enough.
Here is my solution and it involves something you are already doing or at least should be.
Generally if you are performing live you have pre-decided the order of your songs and have it written out in a setlist.
Traditionally you would have the song titles there. What would be more useful is instead of putting song titles, put the first line of each song. You will never forget how a song starts again.
ZFL here, and taking this advice.
