Today I'm giving away the secrets, and showing you exactly how I play songs by ear! This is a skill that even seems to baffle a lot of other musicians I meet.

Nearly everybody who sees me play a song by ear asks me, "Wait, how did you do that?"

Well the answer is that music is a language. You just have to learn how to "speak" that language.

I've sort of inadvertently created my own method of how to do this, just from spending so much time playing and learning about music over the years.

But today I'm going to give you a consolidated version of my ear training approach, so you don't have to spend years noodling around like I did 😜

This is a bit of a long video, but I want to you to watch the whole thing because you won't find my exact method anywhere else. If you want to learn to play songs by ear on piano I believe this is the best resource on the internet.

So get ready and enjoy this ear training explained crash course video!
