Or maybe I should ask how you wrote tab from a recording you heard? I have a recording, video and audio, of a tune that I want written out in tab. I know the tuning used. Well, I'm a beginner and the playing is too fast to just scribble it down.
Do you listen to short bits and try to play the notes, write it and go to the next notes? If this is it, I' m in for trouble because it's been a week and I have two notes nailed! Well, maybe not that bad, but it is real slow.
Is there a method, or is it experience and ear training?
