Its not a gift, Josie, Ear Training as Interval Recognition is a learned ability.

All you need to do is spend about ten minutes a day playing the Band in a Box "Ear Trainer" game, Josie.

When transcribing a song, listen intently for the Lowest Note (the Bass, whether played on an actual Bass instrument, or on the lower strings of the guit or LH of a piano) and follow that "foundation" first.


Have Fun,
