In I IV V I feel it’s helpful if you try to hear that the IV share the root note where the tonic is the IV’s 5th and that the V shares the I’s 5th. You can kind of hear the voice leading sometimes when the tonic doesn’t move with the IV and that the 5th degree doesn’t move between chords I and V

I’ll get around to those eventually. Working on the ii chord video now. The trick is to understand how those chords usually function. For example, if you hear a dominant 7th chord, it will be the V chord 99% of the time. Or if you hear an augmented chord, it’s probably substituting the V in a minor key or is following a I chord as part of a line cliche.

So what if your ear is getting confused about the tonic home chord. For example confusing the 4 or 5 chord for the tonic chord. Especially when moving between keys. C major: C = I and G = 5. But confusing G major: G = I and C= IV? Same issues with other closely related keys, F, D and etc. that have flip flopping I, IV and V's. I think my brain will try to assign a different tonic, and I get the order mixed up. It's like my brain makes its own key change😂😅? Another issue I found is confusing the chords in F where perhaps inversions are used bringing the sounds closer together. For example I(FAC) root, IV(F,Bb,D) 2nd inv', V (EGC) 1st inv'? Or even the opposite if the chord progression just uses root position chords throughout going home say and octave above throws my perception of gravity off. 😅 Any thoughts?

I always thought chord progressions would be in ascending order, but what I am finding is that if it is in key of CM for example, then a c chord can begin on c4, while the Iv chord can be located on F3, which means my ear cannot follow and hear if the chord is above c4 giviving me the option to hear if whether or not the chord moved up beyond the one chord, so now I have no anchor point for my ear to follow if the chord went up beyond the one chord. Relying on tensity levels between the 4 and 5 chord is not working for me. I play violin and thought I always had a good ear, but I have never been able to figure this out. I hear chords moving below and above, but I am always unsure 😢
@joeluegersmusicacademy7 ай бұрын
To further complicate things, you can rearrange the notes of the chord or give individual notes to different instruments. The thing to do is memorize which scale degrees are in which chords. The I chord has 1-3-5 in any order, IV has 4-6-1, and V has 5-7-2. So, if you can play scale degree 7 and it sounds okay, then you are probably working with a V chord. Hope that makes sense.

Good idea. Sometimes I avoid it because so many instruments read different clefs and I try to keep it universal. Some guitarists seem to avoid notation altogether.

I bet your ears are trying to put each example into the key of the previous one, or if a chord progression starts on something other than the I chord it is throwing you off. The trick is to get good at doing a mental reset each time, zero in on the intervals in the bassline, and practice singing different scale degrees over the chords. All of this takes considerable practice. And patience.

I think the best way to get better ultimately happens outside of this video. You need to learn a bunch of chord progressions, analyize them, and then actively think "I" "IV" "V" while you are playing these chords. Eventually you can put it at the back of your mind, but until then you need to build a harmonic vocabulary. You can also use headphones to hear the bass better and listen to the invervals the bass is playing. Or you can sing different scale degrees over the chords to see which ones sound good and then use process of elimination from there.
