The object of this section is for the student to play along with the recording and learn the basic melody. Use the loop facility and refer to the notation if you have any difficulties with any particular section. If you find learning by ear difficult dont worry too much ,as its only a matter of developing your ear and it does come easier with practice.
Its well worth persevering with learning by ear, a musician with a well tuned ear will find it easier to pick up tunes at sessions etc.
Try to co-ordinate your bowing and fingering together so you relax when playing.
