just love learning new riffs and spend alot of time playing them when you get a really cool one. the problem is a week will go by and i totally forget it, i often find myself going back to the video to remember it again.guess you have to put it into a song or make one up where you can use those riffs, otherwise they just fade away. anyone have this problem or is it just me getting old?

I'm old and have the same problem so can't help there...
The only ones I can remember are the ones from tunes I know well and even with those ones it takes me a few seconds and a couple of attempts to get going .
I hope it'll get easier as I get better...

heh, sounds familiar one thing that helps (me) (and I need to pursue this approach much more) is: every time you have that "cool" one, the one you'd like to remember and maybe use as a starting point to explore further: write it down/tab it it helps me memorizing and, more important, during the (mind you, sometimes tedious) process of producing a more or less accurate tab, I learn to get a clearer understanding of ... how to put it... how to work my fingers on that fretboard.

Half the time I only remember the ones I am working so I am in the same boat as well - you aren't the only one ;D

I do the same thing, once I write it down It helps and I can look it up quicker that way. You can put several riff on a single sheet of paper. I use tabulature paper. Phil
