In a word, no. I's mostly tone-deaf. Tell me what key it's in, and if it's country or blues (both of which are pretty predictable progression-wise), I can usually follow it--maybe even play lead, sometimes. Alternatively, if I can watch the rhythm guitarist's hands, I can figure it out, too. I can usually spot a minor (and no, not because of the mining equipment<g>) because I'll notice it sounding a little "off." Which minor is it? I better be able to see your hands.

P.S. For the foot: Old Indian proverb says never criticize a man until you have walked a mile in his shoes. That way, you're a mile away--and you've got his shoes...
