Well I am not near being able to tell the difference yet but will get there. I do understand music very well be it written or ear. Mostly ear.. Started music , guitar when I was 13 my own band at 15..,You might have heard of them in the north specially,called Freddie and The Free Loaders. We made a few bucks over the years..
So I have developed a very good ear and had a few students and I would only teach by ear. Some parents did not agree, and that was ok.. I just stopped giving their kids lessons.. Then they wanted an explation.. I told em,, There is not one, I just teach by ear, you don't like it, don't bring your kid anymore.. lessons closed.. lol. along those lines anyway..
SO !! thanks a bunch I now understand what to listen for and last day or so its coming along..
It is nice to know a formula now and then.. and being an old fart like I am I can use all the help I can get. I won't be playin in no band anymore. Just play to records and Cajun Radio nowadays and its all good. I had my fun !!!! Leave it for the younguns !!
