  • Yes, like another comment already said, it's one thing to identify the chord type (major, minor, dominant, etc.). Ideally, almost everyone can attain that ability. But, to identify the actual pitches and/or key of the chord out of thin air takes perfect pitch - a very rare skill. Some argue that perfect pitch CAN be developed, but I have my doubts.

  • This video is bogus, almost no one will be able to tell what key those chords are in. You have to have "perfect pitch" to able to detect absolute positions of notes. The vast majority of us can only detect intervals and chords RELATIVE to a tonal center. If C is the tonal center you wouldn't be able to tell that, but if you heard an E note played over the C you could tell it was a major 3rd interval. Similarly with chords if you heard an F chord over the C bass youd know it was the IV chord.

  • i got about half of them! :) ive improved! thanks for making this!

  • I'm not very good at this :-(

  • 1. E major, 2nd inversion

    2. c minor, root position

    3. D7

    4. f minor 7

    5. b (where's the third?)

    6. g minor, 1st inversion

    7. C major, root position

    8. a minor 7, add 9
