    Also, Dead Leaves and the Dirty Ground is a very simple descending chord progression that basically just steps down according to the minor scale (if I recall correctly. Don’t have a guitar in front of me and haven’t played the song in years).

    Stuff like that is much easier to figure out by ear than more intricate melodies and chord progressions.

      Oh for sure. And that’s kind of my point. As someone who didn’t know a lot of music or know any musicians, it was goddamn magic.

      But meet a few musicians, and you start to realize that it’s just a learnable skill.
