dyeguitar you can go to tunetranscriber.com, upload an mp3 and change both pitch and tempo to your liking, down to 50% tempo in the free version if I remember correctly. perfect if you want to learn songs in different tunings and don’t want to change guitar/tuning all the time. I’m pretty sure It also lets you mark and loop wherever you want in the song.

I learned by playing to a radio - started at 8 years old. It's tough to learn Stairway to Heaven. -it only came on the radio every 2 weeks. I can play most anything after hearing it once -barring some solos. I can also play songs in my head like a cd player. The entire band and arrangement. It's absolutely the most useful skill you can acquire. It does help you write, because it forces you to study the composition.Jimmy Page, the Beatles, they learned covers. It's like reading a book. You get a glimpse into the mind who created it. Very enlightening.

I've been playing for a few years now and it's amazing how much a slightly different note or chord can make or break the feel of a song. I get exactly what you're saying, about how listening to the song vs. how a tab a tab tells you to play it can sound or feel totally incorrect. It boils down to those little notes or special chords that really add flavor and taste to the song. I prefer to learn guitar by watching a video of the original musician playing, if possible.

I have been using "Transcribe!", which is dedicated to this purpose, for years. You can change pitch and speed separately. Therefore, you don't have to change your tuning for each song which has a different tuning than yours. Also one can adjust the EQ to hear some exact frequency bands. It has a loop option, as well, to practice certain parts of the songs.

For simple one string and two string riffs in E standard I can figure them out somewhat easily, but anything tuned lower than D standard is hard to figure out what tuning it's in, as well as how they're playing it. I also need to learn more chords so I can spot them by ear which I'm sure would help a lot. As for tabs being wrong, I compensate for this by playing the riff from the song on my phone, then learning the tab. Usually it's simple stuff wrong in tabs like not including hammer ons/offs, vibrato, or overcomplicating a riff with spread out notes in which case I try to rewrite the riffs myself so the notes are closer together and is easier to play. Even if the tab is correct I do this sometimes because honestly fuck playing a riff that requires me to go from the first fret to the 12th, hit the bottom string in between, then do an annoying chord when I can hit that 12th fret note on a higher string instead then do that chord higher up on the fret board so my fingers dont die.

I mentioned this in another reply, but if you download a copy of "Transcribe" software, it has a feature to allow pitch transpositions and instrument filtering. I found it great for transposing a bass track an octave up to make it easier to learn. Also nice if you don't feel like tuning down while learning a song.

VERY intresting topic. I wanted to say that there is a software called "transcribe" wich is totally usefull for this kind of purpose. In my begining as a guitar player (ends of 90s), I did not have any software, any tab, anything... But, on now days, it is more than easy to amateur players to learn how to play any song. I guess they aren´t going to develpe their hearing skills as much as we did, but they´ll be able to get the job done in a shoter time, and more excatly.

I use the amazing slow downer. If I recall correctly you can buy up to three keys at time of purchase so you can have it on multiple devices. If a song ever got too muddy, I would just jack up the pitch to a full octave and play normal against the octave. That clears up any wrong notes quick. It sounds like chipmunks singing, but it gets the job done.

It’s so true. You waste days training your muscles to play song incorrectly and often - more difficult than they needs to be. With any tab, I’ll slow it down and check the notes are accurate by trial and error to ensure the notes are accurate and/or the note positions are organized more appropriate for my picking style.

Brilliant video. I used to unplug speakers on my stereo to ear rhythm and lead. The only problem I had from learning by ear was it made my technique very odd. I did take some lessons for scales and key. So knowing what key a song was in helped bodge my way through some bits. I am pretty competent but I get lazy.. So the 14 day challenge is a way to pick up techniques. I don't want to be a speed merchant.. Just more competent so this will help massively.

This was such an awesome video. Very true how learning by ear can give you that edge when it comes to writing your own songs! Most of the music I come up with will come to me while I’m sitting and learning a new song. The inspiration and emotions are all there and everything just falls into place. Unfortunately, I’m into Periphery right now and I find it extremely difficult to mimic their technique. I’ll try this Logic Pro approach, cutting and looping parts of the songs until I get it right. Thanks Ola! (BELCH!!!!)

Back in the day i used to use my cd player with the a b feature. and I would practice the part until it was perfect. Then i would move on to the next part,but i would start from the beginning till i got to the end. This made me a machine. Every band i was in unfortunately had a drummer that could not play the same song twice,and would stare at me waiting for changes. I agree with you on not looking at tabs and learning by ear for the emotion of the song and how i interpreted how they played it. I also ran into tabs that were completely wrong so i gave up on that shit and learned by ear. By the way...what the hell is up with that lock of hair pointing strait forward...i could not stop staring at it XD.

Nitpicky player here: For me it's a mix of playing by ear, watching live performances... and as a *very* last resort, looking up tabs and comparing to what I hear, since tabs can be wayyy off. A couple of things to take in mind when trying to learn any riff by Dime: He was a hard hitter, and most of his palm mutes were heavy. Because of that, the muted strings would sometimes go up a whole semitone. And of course, his tuning. I could write a whole text for his tuning alone. So, taking the above into account, and from what I gather for Heresy in particular (using the methods mentioned above), he's actually playing 0--1-1-0--0--0--1-1-0--0--0--3-3-0--4-4-0--3--0 (of course, fifths) And then for the next riff it's 0--6--0--5--0--3--5--6--0--5--0--3--4--5--0 (again, fifths) and on the last pass 0--6--0--5--0--3--4--6--0--5--0--^3---3--^4 (put ^ there to indicate next string, again all fifths) If you watch his clinic video, you can see that. And if you watch live videos of Heresy, Rex also seems to be playing what I wrote above on the bass.

There is a way to use both you can learn the tabs but always make sure to go back to the original recording because you can always tell if you see a cover of a song that the person is just playing what the tab says but, bringing a Certain technique to your playing and really giving it a feel to the song can distinguish I tab reader from a true musician. That’s my take on it anyway

Back in the late 80s early 90s all I had is cassette tapes (which de tune the song as tape stretches), couldn't really slow songs down, I didn't even have a frickin' TUNER! I tuned my guitar with a landline phone - when you pick up the phone, the sound you hear is A (not perfect but hey) and that's how I tuned my Czechoslovakian Jolana guitar :D And FFW to 2018. and what I often hear is musicians bitching about this, that, talk about their "in depth 'knowledge' of crap" (yet they have no clue on the matter) when in fact they have all these new amazing gadgets, the web, online schools, etc. But at the end of the day - I'm thankful for the hardships I had as a kid, because I know I KNOW when I talk about something and not just quoting some guy from the web. @Ola - this video is an AWESOME presentation of how to use your ears, instead of learning some tabs filled with mistakes.

I listen to the song over and over to get the rhythm down and train my ear to which notes are there, then I pick up my guitar and try to play it. I can get the rhythm down, but sometimes I don't hit the right notes. That's when I go to the tabs, only if I can't get it right beforehand. But first, make sure that you listen to the song over and over again until you can accurately hear it in your head.

Your method of learning songs by hearing them over and over again is exactly what I and hundreds of musicians did throughout my (their) complete carreer. A handy tip for every grade of musicians, beginners to pros. Btw., the well known VLC Media Player (Freeware) is able to slow down any data format he is able to play. And you can set bookmarks and repeat the marked part, so you are able to repeate a part of a song as long as you like. It was not that easy back in the days when we had vinyl albums, and you had to lift the needle of the record player like hundreds of times to get into a complicated part. And when you were not sure about the song, you coulkd slow down the record, just by slowing down the turntable with your thumb. The music was completely out of tune then (for sure), but you had an idea of how the song was played. And, sure enough, Tipton and Downing didn't play stuff as fast and complicated as Dimebag did in his time. So not only usefull technic evolved, musicians did, too.

I use Reaper to learn songs (it's freeware with a nag screen so it doesn't cost you anything to try). I drop the song on a track and then use the project play rate adjustment and it'll use Elastique to slow it down while keeping the pitch. Then you can put some loop markers to repeat some part if needed, and you can record your instrument on another track and you can immediately hear if you did something wrong since if you do it right, you can't hear your playing since it'll fit perfectly to the original track. If you want, you can easily detect tempo or align it to grid etc. If you play keyboards, you can record MIDI when you learn the song and then you can make transcription out of it at the same time with he notation features... or tabs if you put some more effort into it :D Highly Recommended :)

I don't have a guitar on me right now to try it out myself, but what I'm hearing in the slowed down version is both 2nd and 3rd fret in the same interval. So basically like a half of the part you play 2nd fret only is on the 2nd fret and then the other half moves on the 3rd fret within the same gallop. I wish I could try it out and have a more accurate idea. Who knows, I might be wrong, or right! Not trying to call you out here by any means. Keep up the great content!

Ive been 100 percent the opposite. I've been playing guitar for about 20 years now and only recently have I tried to learn other people's music. I got into guitar because I wanted to write music, so I never ever wanted to play other people's songs, I didn't want to play like other people, and I just wasn't interested in learning songs. This has.. well resulted in me in having hundreds of songs recorded (that noone else will hear for the most part) but.. also resulted in me being terrible at jamming with people because.. I have no idea how other people play guitar and I am just unfamiliar with how to play different styles of music outside of what I hear in my own head. I wish I didn't go down this route because as I teaching my ear now... I am getting noticeably better at recognizing what someone else is playing. It also has helped me learn my own songs as typically I would just forget each song after recording it, now I have the ability to in a short period of time refigure out my songs.

Dijiste que hablas español, so, cuando inicie sacaba las canciones de oído y ayuda mucho, sin embargo, pierdes días y días que podía haber usado para digitacion. Y no, no había KZbin como ahora y no tenía guitar pro o power tabs. Entonces cuando uno no es un virtuoso eso arruina la paciencia y las ganas, porque empiezas a escuchar cosas diferentes cada vez y nunca estás seguro. O por ejemplo: con grupos como maiden, donde una guitarra toca unas notas y la otra unas diferentes para un mismo riff, eso te sacude la cabeza y quieres llorar. Nota: no tenía, no tengo el equipo que tú usas. Saludos desde México mi querido Ola!

When I'm stuck, I always try phase cancellation to minimize the 'noisy center' (shouts, tom/snare fills etc). Helped a lot with The Haunted and Nasum. Wanna teach us how to play "Godpuppet", "Downward Spiral" or "One Kill Wonder"? I'm curious how close I got ;)

Did not know about this feature in Logic... thank you so much and I hope to try this out on some Pantera tracks myself that I have struggled with over the years \m/

Thanks, really good tip. I have bunch of my own songs that i don't remember how to play and some of them we have practised with my band, but still some of them are lost. Not sure are any of them worth of relearning, but in other hand i think those should be quite ok, when we have learned them as a band. Usually if riff wont stuck with me then usually it is not worthy.

Albsolutly a valuable skill to have, i often use the playback speed feature on youtube to slow down the audio, and video if necessary to see where someones hands are on the neck. But you know sometimes you just need a couple of pointers....

The amount of different tunings used in metal makes learning songs by ear significantly harder in my opinion.

Especially bands like Pantera and Metallica (sometimes) who tune to 432Hz E standard really complicates thing.

I know it’s not metal but I’ve learned how to play quite a few Polvo and Sonic Youth songs by ear. At first it’s hard to hear the tunings after you get a couple down you start to hear the different tunings. Take note of open chords.

been playing for around 10 years now, and always had trouble learning songs. tabs and lessons on youtube ar just too hard for me to learn from, so i usually just end up listening to the songs i like and learning by ear, to much greater success. i now only look at tabs and lessons if there are fast parts that i cant figure out or chords i dont know

Totally agree it is so much funner learning songs by ear rather than looking up tabs because to me it challenges you to actually find and play the correct notes on your guitar just my opinion.
