An invaluable tool, the Lick Switcher, facilitates adding new licks to your repertoire and gives you a fresh perspective on the song. Tapping on individual measures will help you discover diverse variations hidden within the song, allowing you to personalize the arrangement to your liking.


The Arrange slider is another key element to customize your learning path.

Those Memories of You lyrics

CHORUS: Those memories of you still haunt me Every night when I lay down I'll always love you, little darling Until the day they lay me down VERSE 1: In dreams of you my body trembles I wake up and call your name But you're not there and I'm so lonesome Without your love I'd go insane CHORUS: Those memories of you still haunt me Every night when I lay down I'll always love you, little darling Until the day they lay me down VERSE 2: I close my eyes and you're there with me Your kiss I feel, your face I see It's not your lips now that drive me crazy It's just your haunting memory CHORUS: Those memories of you still haunt me Every night when I lay down I'll always love you my, little darling Until the day they lay me down Until the day they lay me down
