I've been playing music for 20 years this year. I'm skilled across a number of instruments, enjoy music theory and am pretty into it - but just have SHIT ears.
Like, I can figure
melodic shit out by ear (without reference to the music) - but I can't listen to music and figure songs out
(harmonically speaking - chords) as they play to save my life and it kind of really depresses and distresses me. I've tried ear training and I just get nowhere.
I have a sibling who doesn't even really play music who can figure shit out on a keyboard without much trouble (doesn't have perfect pitch by the way).
Thankfully I spend most of my musical time playing original music and have no trouble composing and taking songs where I want them to go using my ear. But when it comes to time to figuring someone else's music out it honestly feels kind of impossible unless I get a lucky. Or even worse, if I've recorded something of my own but not written it down and can't figure out what i played
If anyone is feeling really kind and would like to transcribe a way to play this I will be very thankful:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D7U6pniM13s
