A matter of hearing

Plenty of practice and guitar music exercises are two of the most basic elements for ear training. Practicing intervals on the Spanish or classical guitar is one of the first steps. You can practice intervals with famous songs, a fun and easy way to train your ear. Another basic exercise is checking interval positions by playing a note, thinking of an interval for that note, and playing it, trying to confirm that it sounds exactly as sung. Additionally, trying to play songs without looking at the tabs, mentally completing a guitar solo while listening to it, and imagining the scale used by the guitarist playing the song are other ways to sharpen your ear. With all these premises under your belt, a guitarist acquires new skills that help them grow as a musician: recognizing any type of chord, transcribing music (the first step toward being able to compose their own songs), improvising over any harmonic progression, tuning without a tuner, improving their skills as a rhythm guitarist, and recognizing out-of-tune guitar playing are just a few of them. In short, a good musical education for a guitarist's ear opens many doors to creation, helps them play instinctively, enriches their technique and increases their dimension, and helps them experience new sensations as a musician who, in addition to playing well, plays with their soul.
