If you have any questions about what harmonica is being played on a song, drop me a line and I can help you figure it out! In order to learn a song by ear, it’s really helpful to know the key of the song, and what key harmonica is being played. But in this post, I want to really go into detail about the art of transcribing, and how I accomplish it. In another post, I’ll talk about Ear Training, and ways that we can improve our ears so that we can get better at learning songs by ear. I learned how to play songs like “Peach Tree” by Sonny Boy Williamson and “Crosseyed Cat” by Muddy Waters, and “You Gotta Move” by The Rolling Stones. Back in the day, I had to press rewind and pause a million times on my cassette deck or CD player and, because I was not born with “golden” ears, I had to choose relatively easy solos to learn. This is the main way that I learned harmonica over the years. That’s right, I said it! Learning something just by using your ears and trial and error. (It takes me so many tries to figure it out, but the time I get it, you’d better believe it’s easy to remember! lol.) But I just figure it out by ear, and memorize it. Some people, like my wife, and other super-gifted people, write down the music they learn. It can mean re-writing a piece of written music in a different key, or re-writing sheet music into harmonica tabs, but the way that I’m using it in this post is to mean learning something by ear, without the aid of anything written at all. The word “Transcribe” can have several different meanings.
