i would suggest calling out to yourself the notes as you play them
either by number system or note value of key you're playing in
you can do this when constructing cords , playing melodies, or playing scales
as you do this more and more your ear should be "hearing" the notes you call and thus being trained to hear thirds, fifths, roots, maj7, augs, dims, flatted 5s, aug11, etc.... |

There are a couple of things that I have found helpful with ear training as far as hearing pitch and playing the steel guitar in tune.
For hearing pitch, piano tuning methods are wonderful.
For playing the guitar in tune, I heard Lloyd Green play something years and years ago at a steel guitar convention where he would play a note on one of the higher pitched strings, then slide up to that same not on the next string, then repeating, and then you can do an arpeggio to up to that same note to get back to the high string, and keep going up. Perhaps I'm not describing it well, but it's a cool sound and a great exercise for intonation.
Best of luck.

| I know you have all seen ads for the David Burge Perfect Pitch course. He also makes a relative pitch training class thats pretty good. |

| The Good doctor is right. Jamie Aebersold is great. In his biggining book Anyone can play jazz he has well know songs you know for every interval you can think of.....for instance. Somewhere over the rainbow...the first 2 notes are an octive. I think that is one good way to learn.
