That's a good initiative! The first songs are the hardest but the more songs you know the easier it gets after you learn how chords sound and the interval between them.
Then there are songs with too many and too wierd chords that make them very difficult to learn  Like with everything else it takes practice to manage  Starting with simple songs is the way to go and then move to harder as you get better at this. You'll learn to hear the difference between minor, major, 7 chords etc the better your ear gets. Satisfaction by Rolling Stones would be an easy start. -------------------- My bands homepage

One thing you can do in the beinning is to try and find errors in tabs and try to correct them....
And when you are going to figure songs out i suggest you use Audacity(A free software) so you can slow down the song -------------------- My Gear

QUOTE (Chokehold @ Jan 1 2010, 11:19 PM)  When I started I took a beginners lesson from GMC and downloaded the guitar pro file. Then I added a new track so I could not see the original guitar and started to try and make my own tab that sounded like the original, then when I feel like I'm done I just check with the original. Thats a good way of doing it..... Must try it sometime -------------------- My Gear

Try the software Ear Master Pro.
And do their interval exercises. Once you internalize melodic and harmonic intervals it's going to be a hell lot easier to learn songs by ear. You can use any software that has ear training exercises. Although how I taught myself was by learning easy songs and try to play them. Cool trick on WMP: ctrl+shift+S to slow down Mp3s ctrl+shift+N back to normal -------------------- Visit my:

First time is the hardest mate, but in time it will get easier and easier. In general, not every song is easy to transcribe, sometimes you just cannot hear everything nicely for example. But as the time goes by and you learn more and more it will be easier cause you can anticipate the chord movements. I recommend that you learn the chords well, it will be very useful for transcribing, and ofc as more transcribing by ear as you can.
