Picking a tune out on an instrument by ear is something special since it shows that you're not tone deaf. And some do it quicker than others. Plus, some famous popular composers didn't know how to read notes and did the same.
I learned a bunch of songs by ear way back, but today . . . . too much work and I'm trying to avoid that by cutting corners on a lot of stuff. Plus, I slow myself down by analyzing things like why is there no black key between E and F or why a # there instead of a flat so I get puzzled and worn out.
Ya, I never understood how someone listens to just one kind of music to the exclusion of all others but to each their own I suppose.
