 2.29.20  9:26 am  Yes, I can clearly tell if I hit the right ones (like when I learn a song, I know what the 'right' notes are, I can tell without doubt if I'm doing it right, but have completely know sense of the interval relationships between them) after I like try every note around the previous one...and this persists even to now... I know I'm far ahead on paper and I know I need my ears to catch up, but i really have little idea how I could achieve this.
i don't exactly know either, i was never in your situation, it was a bit more the other way around for me
