Hi boaber22,

I know there are people who can just pick up on a song from listening to it. For instance, I am writing a song and Dave Celentano (instructor) is helping me with it (came up with a beautiful bridge actually).

In our last session, I sent him my audio file so he could listen to what I had down and he just started playing it in real time. He didn't even ask me the chords.

That level of skill takes a lot of time. At my age I don't pretened I will ever get there and I am ok with that. It takes me a long long time to learn songs. Even my own.

So best of luck and I hope you always enjoy yourself.
