in college, we had a friend from Japan whose English wasn't so great. He was a brilliant blues and rock guitarist though, and was studying classical guitar.
He wanted us to hear a song but couldn't remember much of it. It drove us all nuts because we wanted to crack the code. ..
Finally, we called a MUSIC STORE and hummed a few bars to a guitar sales guy we sort of knew. It worked!
The song, btw, was Sunny, by Bobby Hebb. He wanted to use the chord progression to practice improvising. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ubvYQxTXO3U
We had a Readers Digest book called How to Do Just About Anything and I read and reread it. It included everything from mending a puncture in a bike tyre to delivering a baby.
