Transcribe! Slow Down Music Software.

This is my favorite transcribing tool. Used to do this by lifting a needle on and off 45 or LP records. This is a LOT faster and you can save loops too.

Playing by ear is the ultimate skill to develop. The best way to do that is to 'steal' your favorite licks, runs and riffs from your favorite guitar players directly off their music tracks, mp3's and video clips.

Transcribing Tips

Most guitar solos are made up of simple phrases connected together to make something more complicated.

Learning your favorite phrases is a great way to develop a bag of tricks you can use when playing solos.

My suggestion is to learn phrases that work over Maj7 chords, Dom7 chords and min7th chords. That's because they are the main sounds music is composed of.

All other chords generally fit into one of these catagories. Maj, Dom and minor.

Of course, you can also learn complete solos as near to the original as possible.

Using your ears is really important. Listen for timing, bends, slides, vibrato, what strings are being used etc.
