Either you can play by ear or you can't.
I happen to play by ear and I can hear a song one time and figure it out quite easily. I have always been like this.
My best friend in high school on the other hand took lessons and knew theory up, down, side to side, and backwards. He could play any scale you wanted and he was really good on paper.
But, throw that guy in a band situation and he sucked. He couldn't play a thing that wasn't written down on a piece of paper in front of him.
If you can't play by ear, it isn't the end of the world, but it really REALLY helps in band situations.
