Subject: Hearing notes, chords and tuning by ear?
Author: lookwhereallthistalkinggotusbaby@yahoo.comDate: 4 Jul
I've always been amazed how somebody can sit down and tune their
guitar without a tuner? Or how somebody can sit down and hear a
fairly simplistic riff in a song and fret it on their axe within a
minute or two?
Now, I'm sure it took a lot of practice to get to that level, but what
steps did these guys take in their practice to get to that point?
What exercises will help me identify notes, chords, key I hear in a
song within a minute or two? Perhaps it's not as easy as they make it
look, but I want to get there. I understand playing mechanics pretty
well now, but when it comes to tone, I'm lost like the wayward
son. :-)
