Sometimes there's just so much information available on the site I can't always remember where I saw or read something. My question is did you recommend to someone that it might be a good idea to devote one day per week to reviewing study songs, and other material I want to keep fresh, by playing them to jam tracks? It sounds like a good idea as it's a break from the daily routine and would keep everything interesting. Thanks!

Answer

You're correct... once a week is a good idea. Make a playlist with the original song and its jam track right after it. As you start to feel real good about the original just use the jam track. The goal is to make a playlist of all your songs, hit play and give a concert without stopping.
