My grandfather has a similar talent, he knows exactly where the E note on the guitar is in his head, he can tune any guitar that way and you check him with a tuner and hes like spot on. It is almost creepy.Wasch_24 said:I have always had tons of respect for people that can learn songs just by hearing them. It is completely different than reading the music IMO.
Gives me the picture from the opening and closing scenes from The Jerk with Steve Martin!!! Would be fun though!!!!!CWS said:Trombone - long ago

One of the best musical experiences of my life was in the 70's. My Dad grew up in Appalachia (Hiltons, VA). When I went out to meet my relatives, I met the entire Carter family that he had gone to school with including June, and played along with them. Its been awhile now with business pressing but I still pick up the Martin from time to time.
