Thank you for taking the time to reply.I do agree with you a basic knowledge of theory is most helpful and as i mentioned previously a home study course called "Absolutley Understand Guitar"is really a great intro to understanding music theory.It's rather long-32 hrs. 2 1hr.lessons /dvd but if your looking to get your feet wet this is recommended.I sound like a salesman which i'm not but this course is the real thing.Now back to my original ques.What's the best way to go in "ear training" on line courses,for purchase home study course?If  so which one?Thanks

Bought an at home study course called"Absolutley Understand Guitar"turns to have been more on music theory than guitar but the instructor,Scotty West,is such a good teacher made it understandably and actually enjoyable.The course is rather long-32hrs.-and requires an investment of time but worth it for anyone in the dark about scales,chords,and really the basics of music theory.

If I understand it correctly it is the ability to identify intervals, Maj 3rds,perfect 4ths,perfect 5ths etc.Help if trying to play by ear.
