For 2021 I've decided I want to go fretless, it's something I've been thinking about for a while and I figured I'd give it a go.
I'm currently borrowing a unlined fretless from another member of this here forum and had a play with it last night - actually finding the notes wasn't as challenging as I thought it would be, but I say that after only playing some relatively easy things down in the money zone. I've not started to get up in the register or playing any thing complex.
My main worry with playing fretless is not having a strong enough ear to be able to hear that I'm marginally sharp or flat on a note. Does anyone have any tips / exercises for improving intonation and getting to grips with fretless in general? Slides, vibrato, harmonics etc. will all come later for now I just went to get a really good feel for fretting the right pitches.
