Make Your Ears Awesome: Metal and Hard Rock
Explore the electrifying realms of Metal and Hard Rock
The benefits of learning songs by ear are massive.
Learning by ear is the key to training your ears and developing as a musician, which fuels your long-term musical passion.
What’s more, by figuring out songs by ear, you’ll immerse yourself in the music, allowing you to truly “own” each riff, lick, and solo. This deep connection will not only help you memorize songs but also inspire you to incorporate elements of your favorite tunes into your own improvisations and solos.
It’s important though to figure out songs in the musical genres you like to play. That will teach you to figure out the types of riffs and melodies that you’ll use in everyday of playing.

Why should I learn songs by ear instead of just using tabs?
Learning by ear not only sharpens your ability to hear music in more detail, it also helps you play guitar by ear! This is a core musical skill that helps you anytime you pick up a guitar, whether it’s with improvising, soloing, jamming with other musicians, writing songs or just playing in general.
How does the interactive tab system work?
The interactive tab guides you without spoiling the answer. It shows you how many notes you need to find and which strings they’re on. If you need help getting started, you can reveal the first note. Then you fill in what you think the notes are and check your answer. If you got something wrong, you can try to correct it or see the right answer.
Can I adjust the difficulty level?
Yes! The course offers three difficulty modes:
Normal Mode – Fill in all the notes first, then check your complete answer. This is the default setting and how the course was originally designed.
Note-by-Note Mode – Get immediate feedback after each note you fill in, so you know you’re on the right track. This mode also limits the answer options to just six choices, making it easier to get started.
Hard Mode – For advanced students who want an extra challenge. The tab doesn’t tell you which strings the notes are on: you have to figure out both the string and the fret yourself.
You can switch between difficulty modes at any time to match your current skill level.
Can I do this on my phone, tablet, or laptop?
Yes, the course works on any device with a web browser. You can login to StringKick on any device you own and switch between them whenever you want. The interactive tab system works great on mobile, so you can practice wherever you are.
