But if you have the ability to pay attention, writing the notes played
in a song is not really all that difficult. If you know the starting
note, and which keys play what sound, its not hard. I'm not gifted
with the ability to play any instrument well, but I have been given
the ability to pay attention and notice things. The very 1st time I
picked up a Clarinet in 11th grade I was playing Amazing Grace by ear
inside of 10 minutes.
I think that is hard to practice. :)
