Has anyone had any experience with Reel Space? I was thinking I might benefit from the learning by ear approach that they offer, having so far been encumbered by my dots.
Yes the Spanish one. I think the course starts this week. I've tended to have my dots lead me through the basics whilst I get a feel for the tune from listening to recordings. I've tried to learn a tune or two by ear, even from a slowed down recording, unfortunately failing badly. I don't know if it has been a pleasure learning from standard notation, but it's all I've got at the moment.

not "encumbered by my dots" . How about "having so far had the great pleasure of learning from standard notation"

I had a look at their web site and I would have to agree with cp.

I don't understand you when you say that the dots are all you've got? You have access via t'internat to thousands of recordings. Some of them good.
