How to Train Your Ears to Hear ANY Chord
Рет қаралды 87,802
6 жыл бұрынOne of the fundamentals of ear training is being able to hear chords. If you think about it, being able to recognize chords is essential for being able to learn songs or jazz standards by ear.
So how can you train your ears to hear any chord? In today's video I go over my 3 step process for accomplishing this. You even get to hear me sing...I know, I know...that's not necessarily great news. But watch on!

Probably inversions.

That does get tricky Martin! Because then the context of a chord in a progression becomes important as well. Thanks for commenting!

My biggest challenge is hearing basslines, that are very low, played by for example a stand up or electric bass. Also low piano is not that easy. Great video, thanks!

My biggest problem is getting fooled by chords that are very close. I transcribe a lot of pop and rock songs for fun and I'd like to get more into jazz, but even the most simple jangly guitar chords are a challenge. For instance, in a tune like "Back on the Chain Gang" by the Pretenders, I played the opening sequence D-A-G... for, like, decades... when I finally saw a video, it looked like the G voicing was really G/B, then when I found some chord charts and video tutorials for the song, it was really an Emin7. Once I tried that, I was amazed that I had "heard" it any way other than with the Emin7. That happens all the time. A simple tune like "I Saw the Light" by Todd Rundgren, has a couple of 2-5s, and a nice pivot on Cmaj7 to C7, but ... I can't emulate the voicings that the piano is using on the guitar. The chords fit, and sound right, but the register is wrong and fiddling with inversions up the neck hasn't gotten me any closer.

My biggest challenge I would have to say for me is actually hearing the correct pitch of the key . I find humming to be better for lower tones and whistling the best for higher so sometimes it’s hard to find the keys that are more on the middle .

@yuhuaevachen7327 4 жыл бұрын
My biggest issue is to recognize the note in correct octave when notes are played together. For example, when two notes are played together, C F (perfect forth), a lot of time I would think one note is octave higher, then I will recognize them as perfect fifth (F C). Therefore, I am always struggling with chord inversions. I don’t know which inversion they are playing. I cannot tell which one is higher or lower when notes are playing together
@simplehonestmusic2261 4 жыл бұрын
This is tricky because it has to do with overtones (the subtle notes that are present in every note, but are barely audible because they are quieter, and blend into the overall pitch of the note). When I was in music school, we had homework assignments where we had to listen to a 5-10 second recorded piano excerpt and write down the notes we heard on paper. I distinctly remember debating with a fellow student over the bass line in the recording, and arguing that the notes she was hearing were actually just imagined, the brain filling in the context of the sounds, but the note she was hearing was actually not being played by the pianist, and was not actually in the recording. Very tricky.

if you're relying on the bass note as the root to sing the intervals, how then if it's an inversion?
@turnerwilliams8749 3 жыл бұрын
Inversions really throw me off. I can pick out the different notes, but how do I know what the bass, dominant, tonic etc are

i can recognise these chord quite good, i know all theory, if i hear a song i can easily find out the key of that song, but the main challenge i am facing is recognising chord in a song.. even if i know what are the chords that song might have.. but sometime 2 chord seems to be fitting in the same place and i can't really make sure i am right or wrong.. this really freaks me out.. any help?

"I'll sing a minor triad"... sings a major one... Lol! But very good video, cheers. I will be playing some chords and try to spot, for example the third or the seventh. To answer the question, two challenges for me. I'm Ok with triads, inversions and bass out of the chord (like C/D), but adding 7th is hard and 9/11/13 is still a distant dream. Second: be sure that I don't invent notes. When I hear a minor chord, for example, in a tune, and I try to determine if it's Xm or Xm7, at some point I am unable to tell if I can hear the seventh or if I'm imagining it. Somehow, when I hear a chord in real conditions, I'm never sure how many notes it has.

Re: things you can do to learn ear training without a course --- try transcribing music by ear!! It might be tricky, so start slowly, with simpler songs, and build up. It can really help the learning process.
@johndoe-rq1pu Жыл бұрын
I’m trying to learn how to transcribe songns but I can’t hear differences in chords so I look for a video that describes how to hear the difference in chords and In the comments someone suggests that I should transcribe songs, so I try to learn to transcribe songs but I can’t hear the differences in chords…
@graffitiabcd Жыл бұрын
@@johndoe-rq1pu try easy ones where you have some idea of chord positions. or look up the key center! or maybe just play scales in different positions until you find something that seems to fit, and then use that as a starting point.
@user-jv8kr4im1t Жыл бұрын
Nursery rhymes....start with the first two notes.....play them at an instrument and sing them as well....name them also i.e (M4, m2 ect).... Think about where each note wants to go for YOU, how does it feel to stop on one note and what note do you hear in your head that's supposed to come next....can you find it on an instrument...(try singing it while you fiddle around to find it) ... One goal can be to train your ear to hear common progressions. If I'm in G going through 1-4-5. I would play a G note then try and sing a C....did I make it...did I sign a different chord tone?...was I completely off? 😅.... Getting used to knowing why/how you made the mistake can make the entire thing more valuable imo. These are some good basics I go back to often 👌🏾 Music often feels like chasing your tail, it's an upward spiral not a circle though 🙏🏾 😂 I hope I helped...
