Great Theory Video on Learning a Song By Ear...Calling Ray...

I don't know anything about theory, circle of fifths...hell, half I time I don't even know what key I am playing in, but I thought this was how everyone learned songs. I mean, when we were kids there was no easy way to learn other than listening and doing these exercises to figure it out, so I guess I just assumed this was what everyone did.
 
I watched a LOT of videos and concert film -- and paid attention to wthe hand postion and location on the neck --- then between THAT and the record --- over and over and over -- I could FINALLY pick it out ---or close enough to fool drunks and party goers----

I doubt Jimmy Page will be impressed with MY VERSION of black dog BUWAHAHAA

for example...............

Me and my friends didn't have access to videos. At that time no-one I knew had a VCR yet, they were too expensive, so we just sat around listening to songs over and over and over and over again, playing along, until we got it.

I used to put the bean bags from a Twister game on the record to slow it down under 33-1/3rd, then retune, learn the solo, tune up and play at normal speed to the record...

I can listen to a song a thousand times and still have no clue what the key or the notes are...

...maybe that's why learning guitar is so damn hard for me!

...and YOUR version?
 
i am so tone deaf...can't place sound in distance relation very well(very sick from 2-6 years old..ears ruined forever)

do see sound tho..like colors & only way i can play is to relate to it

what i do know is where the next octave root note is lower or higher on the fretboard...then its my job--fun--passion to figure what i want to do between those octaves in the process of making music(since all the notes in the scale are there between them) that does something to move me
