What's the best way to remember fals...

Getting within whispering distance of 80; I'm finding it increasingly hard to remember some falsetas, if I don't play them pretty regularly. For example; one week I might play exclusively Tarantas, and maybe Granadinas. Then if I try to switch to Seguiriyas, I find I cant remember exactly how to finger some falsetas that I played just a few weeks ago? I can remember the sound, but not the fingering, positions, etc. So sometimes I have to go back in my files and try to find the original source where I learned it.; (tab, video, whatever?). I was wondering if this might be a common problem, and how do other players remember all their falsetas? And further, maybe I should try video-recording all my stuff to have everything on file? The problem with that is that I frequently change the way I play certain phrases over a period of time: i.e. the old Montoya Soleares falseta I played a few years ago has a few added notes in more recent times? I guess I could TAB out all the stuff, but (A) I don't know how to do that; and (B) it would be a hell of a pain, and very time-consuming. Any thoughts. . . ?

quote:
I sing the notes out loud, like I used to do at music school many years ago... Interesting idea. If you're comfortable with the Tonic Sol Fa voice scale. Unfortunately, I'm not that good with voice-related scales. Too bad. My mother was a professional soprano, who sang in light opera (Gilbert and Sullivan, etc.) and could sing just about any note in written music and hit it right on. Not me, I'm afraid. Even when I have the melody clear in my head, I sometimes find it hard to transfer it to the guitar fingerboard. Mainly, I think because of the possible positions. I used to find it much easier on the piano.
