Default I actually memorized a tune.

I had a stroke a few years ago, I think 2016 and since then I had a really bad case of CRS (can't remember stuff). Finally, without even trying, I memorized Lagrima. I was so happy the other day when I went to GC that I could actually remember something decent to test out on different guitars.

Maybe my hair will grow back too!

That is wonderful. I hope many more songs can be reloaded in the old data bank.

I've not had a stroke but always had a mental block with remembering how to play songs. I can usually remember the words but the chord progressions just escape me. This even when playing a 3 or 4 chord song! I'm always thinking "what's the next one again?" instead of what the actual chord is. Frustrating so I know how exciting it is to get through a memorized tune even once. Congrats!
