Hey everyone,
I am working on developing my ear so I do not have to resort to tabs to learn songs anymore. I started playing in August so I am fairly new to the instrument. I have been able to pick up a few songs with a mixture of looking at other peoples fingering positions and listening. I would like to progress to being able to do it only relying on my ear. The problem I often run into is that I know when I play a wrong note I just do not know how to fix it or where the next logical fingering would be for the particular key I'm in. Needless to say my learning process turns into a painful game of trial and error.
My question would be have any of you found any particular exercises or tricks for improving your ear?
Cheers,
Colin
