Hello everyone, I have been playing piano (classical) for 5 years after playing recorder for 8 years in my childhood. I have been wanting to know how to play songs by ear for a lot of time and I think I have developed some sort of an musical ear but it's off balance, let me explain: whenever I hear a song and I try to guess the notes (or degree of notes in the scale) I always guess the notes as if the scale was C major, meaning, if the song was in G major and I hear the root note I would say this is C just because I am wired to hear C major everywhere. I can't seem to change my mind to guess the degree of the note in the scale (1-7) instead. This is also sometimes gets confused with actual perfect pitch that I seldomly have and it makes be very confused trying to guess the notes of a song in order to play them on the piano (without trying to match the pitch). My relative pitch hearing is not perfect even so, I get notes wrong many times and I can't seem to guess chords of any song (like clueless without even a shred of direction). If someone had a similar problem I would like some help and know how to really try and train my ear to be more "musical". Thanks from ahead
