Ear Training 1: Open Strings

There’s an aspect of your playing that you may not actively train much. It doesn’t involve your fingers or reading music. All you need is your ears!

That’s right, it’s ear training. In this session we’ll practice picking out open string notes by just listening to them. It’s a skill that’s harder to pick up for some people than others, but I think you’ll find, with a little practice, that it becomes easier and easier.

Listen to the audio with your guitar in hand and follow along.  You won’t need any printouts for this.
