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

Dozens of push-ups yesterday are not going to build muscles today. It takes 3 days to feel the damage, 10 days (I think) for it to be repaired (build stronger muscles).
