I'm feeling quite satisfied knowing that I can identify a 7 chord just by hearing it. I know that sound. Honestly, it's not a sound I like very much. It sounds very traditional. I'm being a little hypocritical, because it's part of the Oasis sound. When playing around with my own progressions, I like to use the 7th as a bass note such As A/G instead of A7. It can also be interesting to change the bass note.
My hearing of things taking place on guitar is way better than for other instruments. Piano and bass are probably second best since it's vibrating strings. Stuff like brass instruments and organs. I don't recognize what's going on as well. I've got 30 years of mostly guitar playing behind me.
