How has everyone trained their ears to transcribe songs? (lemmy.ml)

Currently I am separating songs with Demucs and then using anthem score to help identify notes when I am screwing it up.

I am just curious what others are doing.

I think i’m doing the same humming thing.. once you have it you “search” for it on the fretboard, right?

Yep. Pick a note and figure out if you need to go higher or lower. Eventually you'll get good at this and you will start closer to the correct note and know more instinctively how far off you are. After that you'll get a feel for common patterns and start to hear those in the music too, making the whole process quicker.
