WHO is the gentleman wearing traditional African garments and uttering the golden nugget: ‚When u can sing it, u can play it!‘??? Would love to see more of the original footage BTW: will u be performing near the Cologne, Düsseldorf area in 2022, Αdam??
@@kwekuhodgson1976 Kweku, that was the great Olatunji. I perform in Germany often, so please check adamrafferty.com/tour and yes I am often in that area! Thank you!
Adam, this is, as always, no nonsense training regarding ear training. Using ones instrument and voice, then add the other triads (aug+dim) and even move to four voice chords. I love it!
Thank you Adam .I’m 66 and i play guitar for 20 years with a lot of pleasure but i never try that .You are right, i will dive now into your useful lesson!
One of my first guitar teachers studied with Oliver Nelson! Nelson said that one of the ways of learning music is to "take the surprises out of it." That sounded a little depressing to me as a young player - who doesn't like surprises, right? - but what I understood later was that Oliver Nelson was saying that if you hear something that surprises you, you should learn to identify that sound so that it eventually becomes part of your toolkit as a composer or improviser. That's where ear training comes in. Great tutorial, Adam!
Thanks Adam. I have a fairly decent ear, but not good enough. I've never seen anything like what you are suggesting. I can see, however, that your method, if taken seriously, would greatly improve my ear. Will do!
@@adamrafferty I´m comfortable with the first three steps. Steps 4 and 5 are definitely a challenge. Anyways, its great since it gives me some stuff to work on. Thanks for the input!
@@michaelottoguitar Once you get that down, there are 2 other types of triads - augmented & diminished. After that add 7th chords. Eventually, you should be able to hear a note and sing it top down of jazz chords. Like - play a C and sing as the 13th of an Eb13#11 chord - sounds crazy but you can do it with practice!
Thank you for your video and lessons. I studied with Mike Longo for 3-4 years. He always spoke highly of you. We were going to get back to lessons then Covid hit. I miss him dearly. What is the mic your using? It cuts through great!
Hey Adam, I found no problem in mimicking the notes that you sang but failed on the final hurdle. I could not sing the notes of the individual triads but that's just practice I suppose. I think that I'm pretty good at playing melodies that I can hear in my head but sometimes I don't really know the melodies that well especially the middle eight or turnaround. So it's important to get inside a melody and understand how it works before trying to play it. I enjoy watching your videos because you are a likeable person and also a great player. Thanks.
Great! That means you found your stumbling block. Learn to sing the triads DOWN from either the root 3 or 5. When you can do that, check in and I will give you the next step.
Unfortunately, some students avoid ear training because they think they will develop the ability without practice. They don’t recognize that not working on ear training is holding them back. It is beneficial in several ways.

Yes G - I will cover the 4 voice chords, aug & dim later on - keeping it semi simple for now! :-)

My guitar teacher focused heavily on aural training. He felt it the most important skill to strengthen as a musician.
