Ear training anyone?

    Looking for someone in the Cork urban area who wants to do 'ear training' for the sake of it. Most I know who play guitar, can't really play by ear(or aren't going to improve from their current ability) and would simply find this boring. But since I take it so seriously, I would be more than happy to sit down for over an hour(if need be) if I thought it be beneficial. Although listening to songs has its benefits for the ear, it's simply not enough.

    I'm looking for someone who preferably has an extensive knowledge on chords/scales (or else with a lot of patience), in order to be able to test me(and vise versa) on specific chord movements, intervals, harmonic intervals and licks. It's something that I feel like I've never done properly with someone before, and would like to get the chance. If anyone here really wants to be able to improve with those beautiful rock melodies, then you'll need to do some hear training!!! You'd be surprised how bad you are!

    Not in Cork so can't help you directly, but just thought I'd mention that people who play fretless string instruments (violin, cello, fretless bass etc.) are usually very good at this. They have to use their ears to find the right note, because there are no frets/keys/holes for them to look at.

    I think the easiest bet would be to find a fiddler at a local trad session (even if that's not your style of music). Either that, or pay a professional music teacher.
