Okay, I'm definitely intrigued by this. The idea that playing by ear isn't some innate magic trick is a relief. Breaking it down into three steps sounds way more achievable than I ever thought.

Ah, so the first step is identifying the key. That makes so much sense as a starting point. If you don't know the 'home base' of the song, how can you even begin to navigate it?

This is a great start to the lesson. I love how they're immediately demystifying something that seems really complex. Identifying the key is the perfect foundational step to build on.
