This video has been a year but I want to say this is one of the best videos I have seen on learning to play by ear FREE. Can’t believe this video is free! Amazing

Thanks for the tips! I doodle out the melody on the right hand "by ear", then find the root note "by looking" at what melodic note my right hand is about to play on the next down beat and play the root note with my left hand pinky at note intervals 1, 3 or 5 BELOW that melodic note. Then purely "by kinesthetic muscle memory", I hold me left hand in a fixed claw position to play the notes at note intervals 5, 8 and 10 ABOVE the root note. Once I learned to do this, I was suddenly able to play songs by ear non stop and most surprisingly, play a song in any key without knowing the key I've started playing the song. Just hit any note on the right hand to spontaneously start the song melody and you let everything else fall in place. I lay out the learning process in three main steps and in just 100 words: 1. Play and end song in key of C to minimize use of black keys and make it easier see intervals between melodic and between root and melodic notes. 2. Identify melodic note played on downbeats and immediately play with left pinky root notes at -1, -3 or -5 intervals (+1 octave) BELOW the melodic note. Use root-melody note interval 1 at end of song. When guessing, try note interval 5 before using 3. 3. Play chords with left hand in fixed claw-like position to roll notes at 1-5-8-10 intervals ABOVE each root note. Add 7 and 9 to jazz it up. Here’s a summary of the steps I used to learn how to play piano by ear in my 55-word poem titled “I Can Jive in 55!” To play song by ear end song on note C to make learning easy by avoiding black keys. To add chords to song play root BELOW melody on each down beat at intervals -1, -5, or -3. Now play each chord by rolling ABOVE root the notes 5, 8, 10 then add notes to suit. By Allan Jeong
