I agree it's so important for any musician,
Myself I used a piece of software called Ear Master Pro, which can really cover a lot of stuff in this field. Also I practiced with my mates the chord progressions and 7th 9th chords. And learn solos by ear -------------------- Visit my:

I'm not dedicating any special time to ear training, I develop ear as I practice. Like to sing my phrases, and got a pretty good brain-finger connection on the majority of mine pentatonic, diatonic and harmonic scale licks. Not all, but most of them are engraved in my head and can be connected any way I want.
I tried Ear Master School 5, but I don't have that state of mind to work with those software. -------------------- - Ivan's Video Chat Lesson Notes HERE

If you really want to focus on the ear training, this could help!
I already helped me alot! Ex-instructor Pedja showed me this great training. But I think, as time goes by, your ear develops and knows the scales/intervals you play/use. Just like Ivan and Bear said. |

I don't really see the point in practicing perfect pitch, you either have it or you don't. (I definitely don't!)
On the other hand, it is very useful to have a sense of relative pitch. If I know in my head the relative pitch of the next note or next few notes compared to the current note, I like to be able to play it/them without actually knowing which key I'm in. I'm not saying it useless to know where on the fretboard to find a particular note, that's another story. I sometimes spend a while at this site for ear training; it has intervals and chords, scales/modes, as well as some purely theoretical stuff (written rather than played).

Hehe, you were faster on that one! Man i love you for that link! Ear training to me is important , although i havent had much time for it yet. :/ On the other hand , i spend much time in the summer on caravan trips. This time around ill bring my acoustic for training and my mac for ear training. Another good website for ear training and theory is : http://www.musictheory.net/ |

Software can help, of course but if you sing everything you play, licks, scales, intervals, it's a good start-point.
