Have you ever seen those musicians that can just listen to a song once and figure the whole thing out? Being able to figure out the chords of a song by ear is a skill many new guitarists think is reserved for geniuses and prodigies — but it’s actually really easy! In this lesson, I want to show you a 3-step system that will have you finding the chords to just about any popular song without the help of tabs or sheet music.

We’ll start by going over two important music theory concepts — you can watch the full videos for those here:

Finding The Notes On The Guitar:    • Know Every Note WITHOUT Memorizing Ev...  
Understanding The Major Scale:    • Why The Major Scale Is So Important (...  

Once you’ve got that down, we’ll get into the 3-step system. The first step involves finding the key of the song using a moveable major scale shape. Step two will have you placing a chord roadmap so you know which guitar chords occur in the key of the song. Finally, in step three, you’ll listen to the song and pick out the correct chords from your roadmap.
