Ideas - How to 'practice' memorization?

[Guitarcam96]

Has anyone tried musical memorization? Like, denoting a certain note for each piece? I'm questioning whether or not this might make BLD solving easier for me because I remember music a lot better than I remember a bunch of letters/numbers/positions.

I couldn't specify an exact note for each piece without a some practice hearing the notes in my head, but I could definitely just pick notes on any scale, at the least, like for corners, I could designate corners 1-8 as all the notes in a scale. Or maybe I could even designate each sticker as a note.

So, yeah, has anyone tried this? This might be a fresh way to do stuff, and I certainly don't mind adventuring the capabilities of my mind which are mountains and valleys and rivers and seas...

EDIT: Oh lol, I don't even think this is the right thread... but eh, what's done is done...

This is genius!!!!!! Being a well rounded musician, this will make things a billion times easier!

I might try music for corners. I use visual memo, and it works very well for me, but sometimes corners are a bit rough. What do you guys think about changing memo methods for each solve, depending on the solve?

Alternating between memo methods can certainly help in some circumstances, so you should give it a shot.
A while ago (mid-late 2010) I used to memo the first 4 or so edges visually, when patterns became too difficult to remember I would switch to audio.
