Thanks so much for making this. I find that intervals stick in my head and become more recognizable if I sing and listen to the chords they make when they are stacked. So this helps me a lot.
I find it harder to pick when it gets up to a higher register, maybe cos I can't sing them to myself so easily! I just think of the major chord then try to figure out whether the 5th is lower or higher. Have to keep practising as I'm a beginner really.
It takes a while but over time certain things that are hard now will become easier. Try to learn to recognize notes higher and lower than you can sing - but sing them in an octave you CAN sing in (which is usually up or down 1 or 2 octaves). Don't give up.
For most people it's practice, practice, practice. If you play an instrument, play the two chords and try to sing the notes. If you don't, find an app that will play those chords for you - and do the same. Try to sing the notes of the chord (and it doesn't matter if you are good or not. Everyone sucks at first). This will be hard at first - but if you can learn to sing them that means you are beginning to hear them. (sorry this response took so long. I either missed it or I didn't know how to answer it at the time).
You can think of diminished as a minor chord with a flat 5th You can think of an augmented chord as a major chord with a raised fifth. For example: Lets do C major: C Major triad: C E G C minor triad: C Eb G (notice the E is flat) C diminished triad: C Eb Gb (notice the E AND the G are flat) C Augmented triad: C E G# (notice the G is raised) The tricky part is to be able to distinguish these chords from one another when hearing them. Minor and Major are relatively easy. Think Happy for Major and Sad for minor. However, things might get tricky when you hear Augmented and Diminished and need to tell them apart. You can think of Augmented as sounding like a sound that is more spread apart, since the notes are literally more spread apart than a diminished triad (that is the 3d and fifth are farther apart from one another than in a diminished chord). With a diminished triad try to think of the sound as sounding more close together (this is because the 3d and fifth are closer together than in a augmented triad). Another trick is trying to hear that 3d. Does the third (or middle note) sound happy or sad? If its sad, then its diminished because in a diminished chord the third is flat. If the 3d sounds happy, then its an augmented chord because in an augmented chord the 3d is major. Hope this helps!
@@JAdrew Are you asking what the Solfege would be for a sharp or flat note? If you are here is another example in C: C Major scale Solfege: Do Re Mi Fa Sol La Ti Do (this is the format you are probably most familiar with) C Minor scale Solfege: Do Re Me Fa Sol Le Te Do (notice the 3d, 6th, and 7th, are flatted because the scale is now minor). In my experience if the syllable becomes flattened, it then ends with an "e" (example: Mi because "Me" when flattened) If you were going to raise a note instead of flatten it then you would typically end the syllable with an i (For example if you wanted to raise Sol it would now be Si) This website might help: www.personal.kent.edu/~sbirch/Common/Encyclopedia/Scales/solfege_syllables_scales.htm

THANK YOU SO MUCH!! I THINK I LOVE YOU!!
Thank you. You might not say that if you knew me personally, but I appreciate the compliment.
Very helpful thank you very much! Hopefully one day I'll be able to tell the scales as well as whether they're diminished or augmented!

Cool. These two are a bitch at first. Glad it helped.
Thank you so much! These are the only two I get mixed up, this helps a lot!
That happens at first. I'm glad this helped. :)
As usual you are a great help but this is very difficult for me to hear the difference. thank you for your hard work and dedication

Thank you sir!
You are very welcome.
you are great, thank you!
Thank you.
It is very difficult for me to tell the difference between augmented or diminished, how can i improve?

AWESOME!!! THANK YOU, SIR!!!!!!
You're very welcome.
Minor is sad
Major is happy
But i still dont 100% understand really what the diminished or augmented means
You can think of diminished as a minor chord with a flat 5th
You can think of an augmented chord as a major chord with a raised fifth.
For example:
Lets do C major:
C Major triad: C E G
C minor triad: C Eb G (notice the E is flat)
C diminished triad: C Eb Gb (notice the E AND the G are flat)
C Augmented triad: C E G# (notice the G is raised)
The tricky part is to be able to distinguish these chords from one another when hearing them. Minor and Major are relatively easy. Think Happy for Major and Sad for minor.
However, things might get tricky when you hear Augmented and Diminished and need to tell them apart.
You can think of Augmented as sounding like a sound that is more spread apart, since the notes are literally more spread apart than a diminished triad (that is the 3d and fifth are farther apart from one another than in a diminished chord).
With a diminished triad try to think of the sound as sounding more close together (this is because the 3d and fifth are closer together than in a augmented triad).
Another trick is trying to hear that 3d. Does the third (or middle note) sound happy or sad? If its sad, then its diminished because in a diminished chord the third is flat. If the 3d sounds happy, then its an augmented chord because in an augmented chord the 3d is major.
Hope this helps!
Wow, great reply. Thanks for the help.
@@saranicoledalen1593 thanks!
@@saranicoledalen1593 but how do i recognize flats?
If c: do
D: re
E: mi
F: fa
G: sol
A: la
B: si
Then what black chords /sharps and flats are?
