Great video and breakdown of learning a standard by ear. That guitar is beautiful!

[@stuartarnold4495]

Great lesson (normally too difficult) but now after this video I will try to get the knack of listening and transferring. Thanks

This is brilliant, thanks. A really good teaching video.

That's been my way over the last 25 years. Glad you do it too. Good for the ear, too.

The big question for me is "how to remember the melody" after figuring it out, how you do that? Huh?
