Long time surfer of your site and first time poster!
Justin, love your work man!!, You have helped me brige the gap in a lot of areas in my playing. I've been trying the transcribing by ear, as you have suggested, and I finally got a few notes on my own!!! Not much, mind you, just an F, G and an A. But wow, what a cool feeling to have done it with out relying on a tab or someone to show me! Now, I still have a long way to go, but I thought I'd share that much with you!
Thanks Again,
Mike

Yeah, that's very common and quite logical if you think about it. In a chord you have up to 6 notes (not necessarily different ones) playing at the same time, and several chords use partly the same notes. Problems you don't have with single notes.

I am but a nacent transciber but the theory behind your question is each different chord type eg major, minor, 7th all have a distinctive sound that you should be able to recognise. Play an A then an Am, play a D then a Dm and you will hear what I'm talking about.

Yes, and not only the first time.  But you will become better with time. Just keep transcribing. |

Okay, just double checking because a deep level of frustration resonated in me last night & today. I gave up on it, looked up the tab and saw that i was hitting the right notes on some of them but just on higher octaves. Going to be checking out some door songs next.

Be sure to check out live performances and covers on YouTube, these can help a lot when transcribing.
