Sadly enough, I think this is right. Been playing for a long time and never really came across anyone who developed an ear.

There are 2 types of musicians:

Those with innate ability and those who have spent long hours learning and perfecting.

If you really want to get better and playing by ear has been a short road, maybe invest some time and money taking lesson and learn to read music.

That's all I got!

That is the best advice yet, IMO. Some formal training will provide you a base on which to build.

I was a drummer and the formal training I received really helped, fundamentals like the rudiments, set up, independence, etc. Could I have gotten there without it, maybe, but it sure helped.
