I would love for some recommendations for simple songs to transcribe. Or simple riffs and stuff like that for me to take a crack at. I have attempted doing this stuff several different occasions and haven't gotten anything to show for it, but I am determined this time to finally see some results.
This guy has a cool 9 part video series trying to teach you how to do it. Very helpful, just need to get better at recognizing what I hear.
And I'm using this trainer to hopefully work on my ears.
Interval Ear Trainer I really feel like I have crappy hearing. Especially when sitting next to my neighbor and him getting everything in his first try without a guitar in his hand. And I can't get anything right! This is very embarresing, but we tried transcribing House of the Rising Sun together and I thought he played the same chord over and over! I just don't hear that big of a difference between a lot of stuff.
I know the pentatonic scales and practice all of them every day. I do not know the major scales, so I have already added them to what I need to start working on memorizing.
