Muscle memory and playing by ear are very much related. You probably don't want to just memorize songs or chord progressions because that won't help you in the long run. Instead, try to figure out songs by ear. This is the main exercise, but it gets easier with every song you work on because you're making a link with what you hear to where your fingers go. You need to familiarize yourself with the sounds and develop muscle memory. Before you press a certain note you'll already know what it's supposed to sound like in your head.

This is the “do re mi” approach made famous by the childrens song in The Sound of Music. But don’t let that fool you. Solfa (also called “solfege”) is probably the most powerful and versatile framework there is for learning relative pitch. There’s a bit of a learning curve but if you’re truly dedicated to developing your musicianship solfa is a great choice. I do not know what this method is. I looked online, and found the song [this video] . However, I do not understand what method of learning this is. Can
