how do i figure out the chords in a song. i can't ever do it correctly it's so confusing
the very first step in building this skill is just learning to find individual notes. that is not how you will find chords once you are good at it, but it is really the only way to start training yourself. so my first question is, are you able to match a note you've heard, using an instrument? you are allowed to try as many times as you like, but let's say you hear a note. are you able to play notes on your instrument until you find the note that is the same note that you heard. this is a core basic skill you will need to have, and i suppose you can develop chord building very gradually from that starting skill
