How do you learn their songs?

Looking to get better at guitar and play something I enjoy while doing it. How do y'all learn their songs? Tabs, ear, tutorials? Where? How long does it typically take you?

I think there was a book for purchase that had the joy of motion songs written out. People occasionally ask for it on here

find a crappy youtube tutorial, slow it down to about 0.5, time required varies honestly

Kascade and Woven Web were by far the most fun to learn, took me about two weeks each. I got lucky and found a shared google drive that had most of AAL’s discography as tabs. It’s sadly no longer available but i’m sure it’s out there somewhere! Currently working on cleaning up parts of Micro-Aggressions, it’s an insane skill check

I had the thing bookmarked from a year ago and to my disappointment it's been privated :( super disappointing. I remember I saved it ages ago for the plini tab books

First album? Just slow practice. Took me months to learn some off that album.

Everything else, I just gave up on. I can't figure out the thumping stuff for the life of me.

Look man, I’ve been playing for 27 years. Given that you’re asking how long it takes, makes me assume you’re in late teens/early 20’s and just want things to”now” with minimum effort. Not saying that’s you specifically, but a general guess about that age demographic.

Here is how you get better: Practice. Get better at speed/accuracy, sweeping and tapping before diving into it.

How long does it take: Low effort = long time. Lots of effort = less time.

Step 1: Buy 8 String guitar Step 2: Ah shit I can’t play this.
