Also, it's a good book on improvising by ear.

What is the value of a book like the one you have mentioned (immediately without watching the video obviously) if you refuse to listen to someone being recorded under a little subpar conditions? I mean not to force you to watch/listen to something if you do not want to (how could I?) but with that attitude you might miss out some important information.

Thanks, I'll watch the video.
Interestingly, Gilad has a short document using the same name 'Primacy of the Ear', it's his life story.
I wonder if Gilad has read the improvising book 'Primacy of the Ear' by Ran Blake, it seems very possible.
I've seen Gilad playing live quite a few times, so I know he's a very good player.

I've watched the video, he puts his ideas across well, playing by ear is what I believe in too, so he was preaching to the already converted.
Most pop/rock players I've known play everything by ear, more so than Jazz players I know, who read a lot.

Thanks for that link. I also read a little about Ran Blake, interesting player as well. There are some interviews on YouTube that I will check out.
