To play by ear involves just what it says: find a song that really gets your rocks off & then listen to it over & over again (fortunately nowdays there's MP3 players, computers, etc: no need to keep lifting the arm off the vinyl ;-).
Blues is always a good place to start. Three chords maximum usually. The most important thing, IMO, is to learn the basic major/minor scales then find a couple of songs you really like & just jam along to them. &, of course, enjoy yourself. You'll cut down on the work if you really get off on what you're doing...
Good luck & may you never hear surf music again :-)
