  • hey its me again germaine just wondering if you saw my previous comments about an ear training course, what i woould like to learn is how to get any chord out by ear, if there is a sort of pattern my ear can recognize and know wat chord it is?

  • i recommend a program called PITCH or chords101 / chords 102. Very helpful.

  • Chords are made from various combination of 3 and 4 semitones.

    Major = 4:3 - Minor = 3:4

    Dim= shrink = 3:3 Aug =Expand=4:4

    From the above formulas any chords can be formed - how do you reconcile b/w the above and your method? What are the advantages of using your memorising method, other than being able to execute the chord quickly?

  • Don't worry adollar4u, I covered all that too. I talked about major thirds plus minor thirds (and the inverse of the two if you want to create a minor chord). I talked about 4 half steps vs 3 half steps. I talked about intervals. I talked about tertian chords. THe point is PLAYING and not getting stuck in analysis paralysis. I've hammered this point in all 3 videos. Thanks :-)

  • Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. My question is, can your theories be applied to other instruments, like guitar?

  • Yes, absolutely! Chords are the same, regardless of whether you're on piano or guitar. Of course, you'll have to relate it to the guitar but outside of that, you can benefit from EVERYTHING said here. Take care, JG

    Take that beethoveen, Mozart and all classical musicians that studied music like it was science!

  • This is a brilliant system for use with fake sheets.

  • This Video to long couldt go throw the whole thing

    so much talking

  • Yeah, I grover2g has the same questions I'm trying to get answers for. I know after figuring out the key of the song I want to play by ear. And then I figure out the melody in that key for my right hand. But now how do I know what chords to play on my left hands to accompany the right hand melody. Or do you play break up a chord and play like 1,3 on your left hand, and 5 on your right. Sorry I'm confusing. But I'm trying to understand how to blend the chord with the melody

  • ** Part 2

    2. When do you want to use certain chords? I know from your classes that each tone of a scale is associated with a chord type. But what about the added chords... C7, C9, C11, flatted and sharped 5ths and so on... Do you have any hints for using these?
