What I do is use programs like Transcribe! and listen to it over and over again. Transcribe can actually give you an 'estimate' of what notes are being played, so that's a good start. The next step is to hear the top and bottom note of that voicing

When I listen to Chick Corea and Hiromi, I'm amazed at their time and how in synch they are. Just from an internal body clock. No rhythm section here. When they play the head of Spain at the end it was so precise it was mind boggling! http://www.you
