Bought that David L. Burge course about 30 years ago. Never got far with it.
According to him F# is the most distinct tone color, maybe you should start there and then just go relative pitch once F# is established.
F# phygrian lends itself to guitar at any rate (lot's of Spanish compositions and for example Alex Lifeson's power chord at the Hemisphere's intro)
I also bought DLB's relative pitch course and got a bit further with that, but nothing to write home about. Well the truth is I didn't get anywhere with either of these, I can easily recognize an octave and a perfect 5th, beyond that I have to identify it stepwise from the major scale.
There is also the old Jadassohn book PDF floating around out there, which I find a much better more condensed straightforward format. Hopeful about that book, just have to buckle down and do it.
