Como Sacar Canciones De Oido

So how do you do it? Well, I first listen closely a few times to the CD and get the general feel for the song, the layout, the sections, the different instruments etc. Then I sit down with my guitarand pick out the bass line, or even just the bass notes to the chord changes. This may take a while if the bass is tough to hear. Sometimes headphones help. The thing about bass notes is that thereare no majors, minors, sevenths, suspensions or anything like that to confuse you when you're just getting started. I just start at the open E and continue up and down the string trying each note untilone fits. I usually try the common keys (E, A, D, C & G) first. Then I restart the CD and narrow it down even more, until I have the first note, then the second, then the third. This processusually drives my wife crazy because she has now heard the first part of this song 14 times. So you might want to consider headphones.

So once I have the bass notes I play along with the CD and justplay the bass notes. I'll also try experimenting with other notes in case I am not sure of some of the notes. I often pick out a note a fifth up from the actual bass note and think it's right...until Ipoke around a bit more and play the right one.

With bass notes...you'll know it when it's right.

So now I have the chord changes. Now comes the easy part. If your tune is a contemporary rock tunethen most likely the chords for those bass notes are either major or minor. Admittedly it is the minority of bands that employs a more intricate chord selection than these few. Be careful of bandslike STP who use very creative chords.

So now I just try adding in major chords to each of the bass notes that I had previously figured out. Certain ones will fit, others won't. For those that don't,try playing a minor chord and see if it fits better, sometimes the difference is subtle... try them both anyway.

There are times in songs when you hear a guitar chord change but the bass...
