Jon W. How Do You Learn By Ear (67* d) RE: How Do You Learn By Ear 26 Oct 05


good information here. I can only add that sometimes when I'm picking out tunes on banjo, I find a phrase that sounds "right" when played two different ways (I mean with different notes, not just different fingerings). In these cases I sometimes need to go to a printed source to check which is "correct" - often neither is. I guess this is how changes creep into tunes over time - a valid part of the "folk process."
