Ear Training!!!!

Are you sick? You seem to be in the wrong thread. This isn't about bashing the H90 :P lol

When I was younger in the 90's and started playing and coming up with things, I came up with a guessing system to guess the notes by their sound with my eyes closed and someone call out a note and fret and I try to find it on the neck which also gave me the chance to find the notes without looking and building muscle memory etc.. Worked pretty well.

Also record yourself playing every note on the fretboard along with your voice saying which note it is really helps too. Listen back too it anytime and eventually you start hearing notes as well when listening to songs etc.

I was mostly self taught and I didn’t concentrate on ear training nearly enough at the beginning.
 
I've been doing that naturally ever since I started playing guitar and transcribing music by ear.
Same goes for writing, I first hear how the tune should play in my head then I transcribe it on the instrument.

In the Rick Beato interview with Hans Zimmer, Hans tells him he sits at the keyboard without playing anything until a tune comes to his mind.

Music is not 'in' your instrument, it is 'channeled' to you from the place we're all going to meet one day.

It’s entirely in your head like the other place.
 
Good video. I really learned this from listening to Johnny Guitar Watson, and to some extent, George Benson. Both would often scat in unison with their guitar lines which is very good ear training, not to mention fretboard training. Connecting your ears to your hands is essential to creating good melody.

Not a believer in the concept of “channeling the Devine” but it is coming from within.

That’s why my broken record speach is learn time and pitch and the hands will follow, pick slanting or not.
 
Forever the pedant, I know, but at the very beginning of the video he warns against trying to analyze entirely "in your head", emphasizing the importance of singing (or humming) notes/ intervals in order to appreciate their physicality.

So it's as much a matter of letting your body be available being aware of your body (?) as an instrument, as it is a matter of internalizing your creative process.

I promised the nice judge that I would never offer my body as an instrument again, and he was kind enough to reduce the charges .
