I'm not a skilled or even somewhat of musician yet and I most certainly am not claiming to be either. However, playing other folk's tablature isn't only wasting my time because I'm not learning anything but to memorize tab which takes me hours,days and often weeks if I accomplish that task at all. Being mediocre at best with someone else's material is NOT my objective. My goal is to write my own lyrics and music. So tonight I put other folk's tab aside and started studying playing and arranging by ear. I'm preparing to make music to a song about my wonderful wife that I'm writing thanking God for using His angel to save me from myself and thanking her for throwing fear and caution to the wind buckling up for the ride. Yes all of this is scary and frustrating but I refuse to give up this time and I will accomplish my goal! You sir are helping me tremendously!

Eli, if you’re going to do further videos on playing by ear, might I suggest talking about relativity: chord-to-chord relationships, and for melodies, note-to-chord relationships. I don’t know if I can recognize a C chord by ear. But I can hear a I-to-IV change, a I-to-V change, a II-V change, etc. If it’s going to a IV in the key of G, I know the next chord is a C, even if I can’t identify the sound of a C chord played in isolation. And melody notes are so much easier to fret by ear when found in relation to the chord you are holding at the time. After all, untethered to a key, a melody can begin on any note. The right note depends on the key which, in turn, controls the specific chords in that key underlying that melody. If you’re holding the correct chord (including inversions), the notes you want invariably will be in predictable places in or near that chord. Finding them from the chord shape not only is easier and avoids your realizing later that you found the melody in an awkward key; it also helps you develop the ear-to-finger coordination that will eventually let you find the melody unconsciously as long as you’re holding the correct chord.

Yes, as I stated in the video, most ear training and “playing by ear” deals with using a reference, so that’s the plan!
