In this video, I’m sharing the exact two-step method professional guitarists use to figure out any song by ear in under a minute. I’ll walk you through how to find the "home base" root note on your low E string and then use the common 1-4-5-6 chord family to map out the rest of the track. By practicing along with a song I’ve never heard before, I demonstrate how even complicated progressions become manageable once you have this roadmap. My goal is to help you stop searching for tabs and start trusting your ears so you can spend more time playing the music you love. Whether you're a beginner or looking to polish your rhythm, grab your guitar and let's practice what we have to, so we can play what we want to!
