How To Play By Ear

[@tomd8313]

Hey Steve, I’m not a fan of Video lessons, but I must say Yours are the best. Your teaching style breaks everything down into simplicity, for beginners, that might otherwise walk away frustrated. You have a Special Gift.

I came to the realization a few days back that fretboard notes are important but the increments between the notes may be more important for soloing or even chording. Knowing where the 6th is, 3rd is. Etc as your playing is important. Hearing the difference and knowing the difference is key. I am in the process of relearning the relationships.

THANK YOU SO MUCH !!! I wish I had seen this months ago. I took a break from guitar for a few months but now im back and this was the exact thing that caused me to stop. You explained it in a way that actually made me understand so again, thank you !

[@DennisMoore664]

I appreciate the way you remind us that all of this could take some time and to not feel bad if it doesn't make sense or fall into place right away. I know it's obvious but like most things, unless someone is a prodigy, learning to play guitar going to take time and practice. Thanks for the lesson!

Ii it D chord ? Thank you sir.

[@michaelmerrullo2043]

I identified both progressions immediately while laying in bed with my phone. I feel better about myself already. Thanks! 😂

[@MichaelLinton-s1p]

Great lesson. What do you use to go back just a bit?

[@fnuker4002]

hey Steve thanks for lessons, i recently start playing guitar again and have question about thumb position. for example in your Learn How To Sweep Pick In 5 Minutes you have your thumb "against your fingers"(like Dimebag) but i have something like overgrip, thumb on top (like Dave Murray). Its just about size of hand or does it have some advantages/disadvantages. Thanks

[@ultravapor1]

If you can reach the 6th string (comfortably) and still overgrip, then I think your hands are just big and you're fine. Although if you're having trouble with that and sweeping, you can shift thump positions (to behind the neck) depending on whatever the context is (for me, I sorta overgrip for bends and vibrato, but shift more behind the neck for most everything else). Hope that helps, cheers! 🤘

Hi how are you rock on dude l am learning to play guitar basic power chords

[@strato-dave]

My problem is it's hard for me to hear just the guitar part with all the other instruments... kinda confuses my ears.

[@AndiPicker]

Hey Steve, how can I get individual lessons on Guitar Zoom - I can only see subscriptions?

[@stinemusiclessons]

First step to get individual lessons is to fill out our Assessment, you can do that here: link.guitarzoom.com/assessment-sk

[@AndiPicker]

@@stinemusiclessons Sorry - I meant how can I buy an individual course?

[@DonnieGoodman-tz7kz]

The G chord sounded like Skid , Row remember yesterday

[@ninomrki]

If both examples used the same chords, then I'm definitely tone deaf because the first sounded to me like A, G, F, G, while the second one sounded like G, C, Em

[@mykneeshurt8393]

I have been playing for a LONG time. Taken many many lessons and I STILL can't find notes with my ears. It is beyond frustrating. One thing I have been doing is playing without looking at my guitar. Play fifth fret B string and open high E. Then play major C scale in that position. Or 7th fret A string and low E. Or G note on B and open G string.. Then play my scale patterns without looking. Not sure if it is helping my ears or not. I can not make the correct notes with my mouth. I think that is my issue. I can not hum a tune..

[@erichartwell6792]

Try slowing the song way down is the key to that it’s what my teacher does💯

[@FirstLast-nn2bj]

Awesome lesson!
