Frustration

There is a lot of trial and error to learning songs by ear and it can be very frustrating! I like to listen and pause every couple of seconds and write down the notes (just letter names) even if I'm not sure of them. Then I go back and play along using the notes I wrote down. This makes it really obvious which notes are wrong, and the right ones are already written down! As soon as I play a wrong note, I pause and write in another guess and try again.
