Description

Today, I want to talk a little bit about connecting the dots in music.
 
One of the key things about music and being a musician is being able to know where the notes are that you hear in your head. This ability is what separates a beginner guitarist from an intermediate guitarist.
 
In today’s episode, I give you a little way of testing your aural skills. I play a little riff and set you the challenge of trying to work it out by ear. It’s as simple as starting out by finding the first note. I’ll also give you some advice on how to work stuff out without just randomly trying to guess the notes.
 
This episode will help you learn how to work stuff out by ear and improve your aural skills, which will help you enjoy your playing more!
