By ear, of course! :) ..musicians I like play by ear. Clarence White didn't read (didn't need to) and was self-tought. Another top player, Jimmy day (steel), same thing, didn't read music (didn't need to) and there's nothing quite like his solo albums. Another, Lennon, McCartney & Harrison ..excellent example of great writing, singing, performing/recording (all sans formal training). And I wonder how Little Richard would sound if he had formal training ..just wouldn't happen.
