I really, really wanna play this song:

This actually seems like a nice simple song as a starting point to learning to figure out songs by ear.

• Work out what chord the song "centres around" - I would say it's D major, so let's start by assuming it's in D major.




• Learn the chords that are diatonic to D major (Google chords diatonic to D major or just chords in D major if you don't know what I mean!)




• Listen through the song, trying to follow the bass note. You might find this easier to do in the 'rockier' section of the song, starting after 0:45 ish. Then relate the bass note to the diatonic chord based on that note - e.g. if you hear G as the bass note, the chord is probably G major.

Those simple rules won't help much with some songs, but with this one, I think they'll get you most of the way there.

I really, really wanna play this song:
but it's so unknown that I can't find any tutorials to the chord or even what strings are being played, and I'm a complete beginner when it comes to figuring out songs by ear.

The problem of absolute beginners is that they always have a fixed idea what they want to play and what to learn. And they waste a lot of time for searching the one title without finding it at the end. And in this time they missed to practice from stage and sequence what would have brought a lot of benefit that they wouldn’t finally need to look for the ultimate song.

Do you know that uou can look for chords and tabs?
If you like this band “future idiots” why not try to study the available titles till the one you’re looking for will be released or published?

I'd also like to be able to play it on piano, but I guess learning a guitar-based song on piano is even harder. Are there any computer programs I can put it through to figure out the song?

Yes, there are programs like Midi sequencers, but to learn their aplication you would need again so much time that you’d better practice your guitar and piano until the midi file will be uploaded.

My advice:

• Fix your capodaster in the fifth bend and




• try to accompany the three 8th notes after the first beat: *ada,*ada etc on the 2 highest strings (b and e) in the 5 bend, they are all the same.




• try to identify the tone on the beat 1 and




• try to play them together




• practice the same thing on the piano with the right hand




• try to find out the bass line for the left hand

Or if someone could help me figure it out that'd be great too.

Yes, I could. But this would be as I gave you a fish instead of teaching you how fishing.

This song is in a different tuning than standard E-A-D-G-B-E.

Tune your guitar to D-A-D-G-A-D tuning.

The beginning is really enjoyable to play. Fret the G string on the 4th fret and pluck the bottom three strings in a 3-2-1-2 string pattern. Play that twice, then move to the 6th fret on the G string and play the same 3-2-1-2 string pattern once. Then take your finger off the G string entirely and again play the 3-2-1-2 pattern, 3 times. Finally, fret the G string on the 2nd fret and play the 3-2-1-2 pattern once more.

That's a good start. Hint: you'll alternate between this picking pattern and a pattern that involves the middle "D" string, played at the 4th fret in a 4-2-1-2 pattern.

I've never heard this song until tonight. Thank you for turning me on to it. I love it.
