this. learn your intervals kids, also when youre learning a song, dont go straight for the tab, really try and learn it by ear first by using your knowledge of intervals and then if youre really stuck use the live performance or tab also, i have a question, youre counting up to12 right? like every interval? so 1 3 would be root to major 2nd
@@sadsakjdwjkdHJSDAJK thank you for the response! I would say it’s actually deeper than just learning intervals. To answer your other question no I am not counting up to 12 I am counting only to 7, so 1 to 2 would be a major second. To refer to a minor second it would be 1 to b2.(or 3 to 4 would also be a minor second) Everything is based on the major scale basically and to study chords you start on a different note of the major scale that is the root of the chord(so for the 4 chord your floor and ceiling of study is more 4) The reason I said it’s deeper than learning intervals is because it’s not enough to hear something and be able to say “that’s a major third… perfect fourth… etc) to really understand you need to know WHICH major third it is, for example is it note 1 to note 3? Note 4 to note 6? Note 5 to note 7? Where exactly in the tonal octave are you when you’re hearing this major third. That’s the real key
@@jojotheworld thanks for clarifying and yeah I agree about the more than intervals thing that’s what I meant I should’ve phrased what I said better wdym by study chords tho? I thought that exercise was to help recognize the scale degrees, to recognize chords I find I have to recognize the sound of the chord aswell as the degree like if it’s minor or diminished or dominant or whatever which is a diff thing ig
@@sadsakjdwjkdHJSDAJK haha I love the questions I can definitely make more vids on stuff like this. Basically if you have a good knowledge of scale degrees in a tonal context(meaning as they relate to the major scale) it becomes less about recognizing the degree first then the quality(major or minor) because most songs use the same chord quality for each degree of the scale, for example the 1 chord is basically always major 2 chord usually minor 6 chord usually minor. But it’s also important to study the sounds of the chords by themselves, for example choose a bass note (C for example) and set it as a degree other than 1, so now C is your 2 for example and then you study the sounds in this new environment, for example asking questions like “what does note 5 sounds like over the 2 chord” this can give you a comprehensive understanding of every melody note over every chord
How can I study it? How do I apply the numbers, is there a name for it? Could you recommend anything for a complete beginner? I feel like I really get and can feel the music it’s easy for me to imagine exactly how it sounds all the background melodies etc. and express it with voice but I would love to be able to express it with an instrument or to be able to name what I’m doing. Where can I learn what sound is which number?
@@aloomix8788 I have a video on my channel called “the best way to improve as an improviser” that may be helpful to you. The gist of it is you choose a harmonic environment(chord/mode) to study, and then you play it on your instrument(for example the 2 chord would be 2345671) then you improvise with those sounds, then you add your voice to your playing and sing the numbers out loud as you play them on the instrument, finally you take the instrument away and only sing the numbers
as someone who (very briefly) went to school for music this idea should’ve been common sense, but this is serious wisdom bruh. thank you !
Always droppin gems 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

Everything is based on the major scale basically and to study chords you start on a different note of the major scale that is the root of the chord(so for the 4 chord your floor and ceiling of study is more 4)
