Could be. It becomes a lot easier if you are familiar with these types of 
chords in the first place. And of course, I got familiar with these kinds 
of chords from studying recordings. So it's a circular thing.

That's why I gave you a time point. But it's not just the ability to 
recognize chords-- I'm not above picking out one note at a time, four 
notes, four passes. It's not that hard, just takes a bit of patience. It's 
like they say, 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration.
