I was wondering if anybody might have some tips or advice as to how to get those tunes and lines “off the charts” and into my head so to speak, so that I can play those songs without referring to the charts?

As usual lots of good advice already. I’d say finding simple songs that you like is a good place to start.

A collection of easy songs that you can warm up with is fun and works on your ability to remember the structure.

Most songs have similar patterns of verses, chorus etc. So once you’ve learned those constituent parts it’s just repetition.

We had a thread a while back on simple songs to improve your repetoire

Requesting Feedback - New Topic for Beginners

As promised @eric.kiser here’s my list of beginner friendly tracks in a mix of styles that you could turn into a thread. I think the play along to the scrolling tab/notation thing for free on YouTube is a great way to get started and have fun. Also I like to use Chordify when I’m working on songs. If you pay for the subscription you can loop sections you want to work on, slow down the track, transpose the key etc You can also use Endless video (free) to loop sections of the song you’re working…

Oh yeah totally learn this, it’s a lot of fun to get under your fingers.

I learned it from here:
