Rating: 5 out of 5

This is a well-written concise guide for those who want to play music by ear (or for those who wish to encourage them) but don't really know where to start.  The book is as much a "Why To" as a "How To" for budding musicians and their prospective captive audiences (family and friends).  The author is obviously quite passionate about jamming and playing music for the simple joy of it. This passion comes through in his writing, making the book an enjoyable read.For those searching for specific exercises, drills, etc. for learning to play music by ear, the book itself is lacking, but it directs readers to the author's websites which provide considerably more resources.  All in all though, the book is a good starting point for those who want to play any instrument by ear.
