Do any of you ever put on music in the background, pick up your instruments and play along?
I believe, even if you are minimally successful but manage to get some slow matching notes, you'll greatly benefit from doing that. Best to start with slow music but anything that gets you motivated would be good.
I’ve not played along with a melody by ear, but I have tried to play along by playing a simple harmony.
When doing that, I’ve tried to listen and determine the key (by using a drone--I figure if I get lost/messed up, I can just play the tonic), and then kind of work in 3rds, 5ths (& maybe 4ths) as I think they fit. Haven’t done a lot of it, though.
Characterize people by their actions and you will never be fooled by their words.
