I played guitar in my teens a lot. I quit for about 20 years and now play regular again. I have learned more in my 50's from you, than I did from any lesson when I was a kid.
After finishing the video, I had to comment again…This is seriously almost as good as taking a personal lesson from Carl, I can feel the musical knowledge rubbing off on me! I’d love to see more videos like this Carl.
Stopped playing in the late 80s. Life happened. 2019 dusted the old guitar off and realized I forgot everything I used to play.😂 I wasn't the best but I could jam back in the day. Kept going training my fingers for about a year. Then one day, I found you're chanel. Total inspiration. Now, I pick up on songs in minutes not weeks. Just like the old days. Thanks for your hard work and inspiration. Anybody new at this, stick with Carl. Best Chanel for learning 🎸
Carl genuinely brought electric Guitar into my life, and I can honestly say that other than working out, Guitar is the only thing in my life that I have ever been truly passionate about, its one thing and everything linked to it that genuinely excites me. 95% of what I know is from Carls teachings, I would literally freak out if I saw Carl in person
@GuitarLessons365Song I recently discovered your channel. Thank you for inspiring me to pick up the guitar again after 27 years. Much respect for everything you do, sir. Your tutorials are amazing!
I'm delighted TH-cam Free Music Library not only found the solos on a certain person's lost phone but also the hitherto-unknown demo of Layla on a lost Walkman! I studied music theory and classical music for 17 years, but the one thing I was not taught was modes, even though ear training and scales formed a substantial part of the studies. When learning a song by ear, I was taught to listen out for the tonic/root note and "work out the intervals" from there. As I progressed through the song, I'd "figure out the scale" This is stll the method I use now. Working out a song's key and mode by humming/playing a scale over the start (of each phrase) seems a quicker approach, so I'm going to give it a go on the next song I learn. I'd also like to say a Big Thank You for all your tutorials over the years and this video. There are always notes and chords I can't work out, so I check with you(r tutorials). Here are some virtual trophies: 🏆🏆🏆!
Carl. After being a member of you academy for a while now. Watching you do this and being able to understand everything you’re talking about in this video was amazing. Thank you for all that you do for us mere mortals of guitar.
I love watching your song tutorials to learn songs and even sometimes just for fun, this was a great video! I like the more personal videos you’ve done recently, this one and the studio tour. Lessons are awesome and seeing content like this is a great variety too. Keep up the great work Carl!
Hats off to Carl, this video demonstrates his gift and his willingness to share! I just wish I had this skill. There are many songs from 60s & 70s mainstream rock genre that have no TH-cam videos or tabs or help to assist in learning them. Can't seem to get 'it' to sound correct like the record, like Carl does....but still trying! Thanks Carl, you the best of TH-cam!
Sensei is giving away his magic .. the axe throwing lessons must be on the way lol.. thanks for sharing brother... oooo new pedal and sponsor .. good times
I'd love to know three things. How many songs you have transcribed, how many years it took and your process ,( do you do one every day, how often etc.) and how much passive income do you make? You are probably the most prolific guitar teacher on TH-cam, I admire your ethic.
Cool. I started transcribing with the tools available to me at the time. An 8 track tape and player lol Or I did have the option to destroy the stylus on my record player
With software, of course! Checked over and corrected by humint of course, but the software is very impressive these days (has been for about five years now).
Thanks for sharing your process Carl; I've been learning from your channel since you started and always wondered how you did it. For a few years now I've been getting into the music theory as I don't want to be doomed to copy other people and this really helps. That said, I was thinking the last time I heard singing that bad was in the 80s when a class mate deliberately sung badly to get out of being in the school choir :D
Loved this video- will most likely invest in the Vidami pedal- makes life much easier when learning a song- especially since it works right inside TH-cam~ I am wondering if it works with Transcribe- I have that program and love it- would love it even more if the pedal can control Transcribe. Another quick note- if you hate singing and don't have good pitch- you can always just play the scale on your instrument instead of singing it. Although singing it is good ear training and helps with internalizing it- for some of us that's too intimidating!
thanx,i've used several vids of yours to save me time on working up tunes,"lazy in my old age",i,m sure your aware of the speed control in settings on u-tube vids ,also autoplay (not a looper),i've used to work up tunes..comes in handy,,happy with your pia?
Oof i got lots to say but I'd rather not annoy ppl with a scroll. Anyway, fully enjoyed this video. Seemed so intriguing & like Carl is teaching you personally. I was a nerd in school, still pretty much am but i don't mind being a proud guitar nerd. This is so fascinating! Can't wait to tackle this topic. My goal is to earn the ability to call myself an actual guitarist, Carl is very helpful in reaching this goal. Thank you. 🙏🏻 P.s. your voice does not suck! For reference checkout Never Tear Us Apart, INXS guitar lesson by Carl (obviously) one of my favorites. His singing is 👌🏻. So glad I stumbled upon your channel about year & half ago. ❤
That seems a great stuff! At least for me, cause it's so annoying to stop playing and going up and down and ffw and etc with hands, while trying to concentrate.Great idea to manage that with your feet...
@05:30 lol yeah, Rhoads used that lick repeatedly lol. I'm still waiting for the rest of your learning videos regarding Rhoads...specifically more live stuff like Children of the Grave from Tribute.
Imagine you're transcribing and admire a certain artist's playing style and want to capture the specific fingering used, but you don't have video. How would you tell the difference between 2nd string 5th fret E vs 1st string open E? Or for example XX0XX31 vs XX076X ?
i’ve been figuring out songs for years, people that are learning from you most likely can’t sing major or minor or PHRIGIAN scales in order to figure out a song. 😂 If they can they probably don’t need this lesson. Now I realize it’s titled “how YOU figure songs out” but your a pro at teaching you can offer much better advice to people that are just learning how to figure songs out. Otherwise your videos are great! Thank you!
I talk about more ways than that to figure out a song, there are many elements to it… I also let people know how to learn to hear those scales if they wanna want to so 🤷🏻♂️…. And yeah, people have asked what I am thinking about when transcribing music, and this is my answer
Singing scales is very simple, most people are intimidated about it and I am just letting them know it is very possible when practiced correctly … I say that repeatedly in the video
Great video bro but the old one controls everything now as well !! Well most of the sites loops slows and fast forward reverse 😀anyway love your site bro cheers from Ireland 🇮🇪
Yeah I think the new one now has functions and modes you can change in order to control a DAW or page turning app… but yeah if you already have the old one it works fine for watching videos
Hey Carl thanks for all your videos! Regarding Solfège, you said at one point it’s “Do ray may” I thought it was Do ray REE? Then you said the Phrygian scale was “Do rha” I thought it was Do DEE? I wonder why I have conflicting info?
This was great! Thanks for giving us a peek into your process. One question I have always wondered: how would you go about figuring if a song is in D standard or Drop-D? The Thing that Should Not Be is a good example, because people for a long time thought it was in Drop-D when it's in D standard. Thanks!
Hello. Thank you for this video. The vidami looks very helpful. I will check it out. I have a theory question. For the second song with the chords, all of those chords are found in a D major chord scale. I would think of it as vi-IV-I-V in D. But Bm is clearly “home” as you stated. So what is the progression using the Roman numerals? i-bVI-bIII-bVII ? For me it is easier to think in terms of the relative major scale. Thanks!
Hey Carl, when did you switch over from using the Transcribe app? I remember you mentioned that one in a Q&A and I use it now and find it works great as well
I bought a vidami years ago when they first came out. Unfortunately only the play/pause button works not. I’ve taken very good care of it. Disappointing
Carl, your advice to “get the tune in your head” is the same way I’ve always approached learning new songs. Being in several cover bands, I sometimes get asked to play songs I am less familiar with. My method is to listen to the aongs on repeat over (sonetimes) a few days to get familiar enough with the arrangement and to begin hearing the note intervals before I even pick up a guitar (or bass, depending on the band). I once had to learn bass for Perry Mason by Ozzy. A song I was less familiar with…for four days before I even got my bass out. It was pretty simple after that. Thank you for the very insightful video 👍🏻😁
Ur a genius brother! Thanks for all the amazing video lessons! I’m gonna start making song covers with your help!! Thanks for all the amazing lessons!!
Props to you Carl! I went in search of the opening riff to INXS' New Sensation. Everyone was only suggesting 5 strums DUDUD on the E and the A and then only ending on two staccato hits of the A. I kept coming back to your transcription th-cam.com/video/t9cpRwtgQ64/w-d-xo.html because you showed the riff as DUDUDU on both the E and A and then three staccato hits on the A to end the riff. I've always admired your accuracy, but couldn't figure out why no one else was transcribing like you. You couldn't be the odd man out could you ... !!!??? So I looped it and slowed it down and discovered that you nailed it perfectly. Keep up the great work!
Is there any advantage to going with the new wireless (Bluetooth) Vidami Blue, or does the original Vidami (with USB connectivity) provide all of the functionality needed...? Have you tried the Vidami Blue at all yet...? Thoughts...?
Awesome Tutorial!.. I know I have asked before, but I'm really stuck on Springsteen's Candy Room Solo. On the record its in G. But in some live videos, he's in A..No biggie.. But I'm knocking my self out trying to figure the "second" part of the solo... Also can you duplicate the screeching treble tone he's using? I'll even pay you! Help this 70 tear old rhythm player!!!!
Please do Metallica’s inamorata I can normally figure out how they play things so much time doing Metallica myself but I can’t figure out inamorata please Carl
I played guitar in my teens a lot. I quit for about 20 years and now play regular again. I have learned more in my 50's from you, than I did from any lesson when I was a kid.
Same!
Me too 40's.
Same...and a few other guys on you tube. I wish I had you tube when I was growing up, I would be so much better today.
Same. It's a great time to learn guitar!
After finishing the video, I had to comment again…This is seriously almost as good as taking a personal lesson from Carl, I can feel the musical knowledge rubbing off on me! I’d love to see more videos like this Carl.
🙌🙌🙌
As a private guitar teacher who is constantly having to learn new songs for students, thank you so much for this!
What are suitable songs for beginners to learn by ear?

I have always wondered how the hell you have created such a vast ocean of content in the internet. Thanks for making a video on this topic!!!

I never knew this even existed. No Brainer, great learning tool. This and the Digitech Trio+ are going to be my go-to learning tools.
Great to see you again. Can’t wait too see what song you take on next. Hopefully we get inamorata by Metallica 😊
Carl for president
I have the original Vidami and love it. One of the best bit of gear I have.
Thank you so much, and also thank you for all the how to play videos. It really help us bedroom / hobbyist players.
Can’t wait to watch this when I wake up in the morning.
Thanks for making it easier for us all to learn, Carl, I've been needing this. I'm pretty much owned by you and Mr. Tabs lol 😆
This is awesome. You teach the songs to us, but I've always wondered how you learn them to be able to teach them to us.
Great advice Carl, thanks a lot.
You are an inspiration sir
Wow so cool!
Thank you for making me a better guitarist 👊
Love your videos man. Thank you
Keep pushing videos out like these more Carl!!
Wow! A lot more to this than I thought. Thanks for your hard work and keep the lessons coming....
Love you Carl
O wow a little peak of the master ears himself while transcribing. That's a very nice video thanks Carl. thanks alot of all the tips and trick.
Vidami is fantastic for transcribing 👌🏻
Thanks, @srwaite7, we are so happy you are enjoying Vidami!

You're my favorite creater on TH-cam, because instead of rotting your brain, you teach people stuff lol
I know it takes a lot of time to put out a lesson, but could you possibly do Phantom Lord by Metallica?

A couple years ago when the first vidami pedal came out I switched to using it instead since it makes everything hands free
How long did it take you to get Rhoads' songs down? He's got some wild patterns
You gotta do Pearl Jam’s 2nd and third complete albums. One of the biggest bands of a generation and only the ten album was done in completion.
I bought a vidami years ago when they first came out. Unfortunately only the play/pause button works not. I’ve taken very good care of it. Disappointing
