Great video! When I started ear training away from my guitar, it was tremendously helpful. Also, I take a simple melody and sing it all week long or longer. I have collected about a hundred melodies. Then each day I read the name of the melody I have written down and try to remember how to play it. I Write it down and go check on my guitar. Also, using the same major scale pattern every time is super important. I always use fingerings 24,124,134 . I also listen to the radio and when I hear a sung phrase, I turn the radio down sing it over and over until I think I have figured it out. I carry a guitar in my truck and when I get to a safe spot, check if I’m right or not. Anyway, thanks again! And one more thing, I have known classical guitarists and shredders of a very high level but if you asked them to play something like happy birthday or Rudolph the red nose reindeer, they are going to usually have major problems. That was a huge hole in my musicality so I’ve been working on it. I could play Bach but not happy birthday. LOL
I really like your approach. I have a bachelors degree in music and I remember “ear straining and sight screaming” being more stressful than giving recitals. I was a saxophone major and you see the same problem - you press a combination of keys and a note comes out. Learning guitar now and I find that hearing harmonic intervals is still harder than hearing melodic intervals. Your exercises are spot on, as is your low stress approach. Cheers!
I’ve been working in air training for a few months. My exercises have been related to a more melodic nature. This has given me a whole new way of looking at different possibilities for your training. Thank You!
You have hands down the best guitar channel on RUclips man, thanks for sharing your knowledge! You are a great teacher and you certainly stand out in the crowd with the way you simplify normally difficult concepts.
Great lesson. Most ear training seems to concentrate in melodic ear training and intervals. Ive been searching for this kind of lesson for ages! Thanks
I just learned to tune by listening to the two overtones of the strings. Try picking out the overtones. Can you hear the fourth or fifth and how they beat? It’s amazing. And moreover a chord now has a 18 or 24 notes in it. And two note chords have 6 notes in it. Wow! So amazing!
How do I find the note if I don't know what I'm looking for? The only reason I was able to sing the note you were looking for is because i know what the 3rd in a C-major and A-major chord is. If you told me to find the E on the 4th string while playing a C/G would be much harder. Second example was easier, I know how a chord should sound like. Especially dominant 7 that are very bluesy to me.
What does it help with if you can separate the sounds? I can hear types of chords and know whether it’s diminished or something but I haven’t tried to separate the sounds too much
Unfortunately, not every string player of fretless instruments has good ears either; I lived with a cello player whose ears were so much worse than mine I wanted to shout "you're flat, can't you hear it!" Obviously players of a certain level aren't like that, but she was in a rock band, and thank goodness I was never forced to go hear them; it was torture enough just hearing her practice in her room.

Yep i agree. I didnt work on my ear for years. Great video. This will be hard but im lookin to practice 🎉
Man you are amazing at teaching 😮
That's very nice of you to say :)

Underrated Video 💯
Hello, Well explained it, great job.
Thank you. 🎼🎶🎹🎵🎸.
Glad you enjoyed it!

Thank you that info i was wanting to hear. I thaught talent is needed to figure out chords
Great video
Thanks!

With consistent practice i will be achieve it
Man this is super super hard.
I can't even sing the correct note let alone singing the distance.
Idea? Painting by numbers.🤟
Hearing Exercise 🎸
I cannot hear individual notes besides bass and high notes
Just great
Ok, but how to do this? Sorry, but I do not understood which is the exercise ????
Not so easy when chord inversions are introduced, especially with extended and suspended chords
better to learn the sound of single notes first.
Perfect pitch?
this has only 800 views. tells you a lot about guitarists lol
Tabs are painting by numbers and as much as they’ve helped me play songs, they are really bad…
Good point kind of mixed bag, I try to figure it out first by then look at the tab, but then the tab could be wrong,😑
stop talking
