This guy does instructional guitar videos on YouTube, and is charming. It made me think about how times change. I figured out this beautiful Fleetwood Mac song on guitar, by ear as a teenager, using a record player. (This guy gets it a bit wrong, but it still sounds glorious.) Now you can learn watching a video like this, up close. Though boy it trained the ear having no visuals, this piece is relatively easy, I think back to some of the almost impossible to hear things I pulled apart to play, by ear, for hours as a kid. Good times.
