Of course listening to other players, and not just guitar players, is
important. Knowing
how to listen and what to listen for is at least as important. I'm seeing a
lot of caring
musicians out there on the net. I love it!
Speaking of listening....there's a new Jerry Coker book on the shelves
called "Hearin the Changes". I have a copy myself and it looks to be a
useful tool in learning to discern chord changes by ear. Jerry discusses
particular progressions (e.g. IIm7-# IIdim7-IIIm7) and gives a list of
tunes in which the target progression can be found. I'm currently working
on compiling some of the tunes in the first chapter and am debating about
getting Aebersold tapes to go along with my study of the tunes in question.
