This page contains no tabs. This is a page that contains an Audio lesson in wma format that contains a riff or solo for you to try to figure out using the tips that Jeff gives you as a guideline. If this is an older problem and already has an answer page there will be no opportunity for you to submit a tab of how you think this problem is played. If however it is a new problem and has no answer posted as of yet you will be able to anonymously submit a tab of how you think Jeff is playing the problem. Be warned these are designed to help your ear and are designed to fool you most of the time. Please don't cheat and do the answers too fast if they are available. You are only depriving yourself of a great learning opportunity if you do that.

Problem Tips:

This problem is specifically designed to help you pick out single notes, or notes that stand alone either in a scale, riff or solo section.

This is a very important skill and nobody is ever 100% correct all the time. We have riffs or solo sections that we learn that are out slightly in spots or we hit a B when the player was actually doing a Bb etc.

On the audio portion of this problem I will give you some of the information needed to figure it out. This is because I don't want you to have to worry about what position things are in for this lesson. I want you to find the pitches of the notes contained in this problem. On the audio file I will not only give you the key but I will tell you the general position on the fret board the riff or note pattern I do is played.

Your job will simply be to figure out the pitches. Be warned, this is tricky business. Pull offs or half step intervals or even patterns that go upward and almost sound to go downward can be tricky and these types of things are the number 1 cause of people not quite getting a riff or solo section they are trying to figure out. Be sure to check the Ear training forum for some valuable tips from me on this type of stuff. Of course others can chime in with their suggestions too if they like. This problem 3 is a valuable skill to have. As we go forward we will expand on everything covered so far. Remember this ear training page is just getting started.

Good luck and remember it's probably not as simple as it sounds. You actually will need to pick out the pitches. Take it slow and relax, you have plenty of time. Don't submit an answer or look at the answer (if it's up) until you have exhausted all efforts to figure the pitches contained in problem 3 out.
