I think the English equivalent would be "to play (a musical instrument) by ear".

it´s also an idiom to say that you are going to do something without having the proper skills or expertise to do it.
For example: - Nunca asé pollo a la parrilla pero lo haremos igual. Tocaremos de oído
- Yo nunca jugué al ajedrez, pero toco de oído (meaning I know how to move the pieces).

Pretty much the same because you improvise a lot. I didn´t know that expression Valerie. Thank you! - mediterrunio, ENE 15, 2010
