I think I have the opposite problem. I can play multiple instruments but I can ONLY play by ear. I have never used a real system for it like this but learned intervals and often practice by playing along to whatever comes listening to spotify on shuffle. I don't need to know the song to improvise over it. But I really don't know what I am doing, theory-wise. I have near perfect relative pitch but I don't always know what the notes I am playing are called. Transcribing my own music can be challenging.

@Piano and Voice with Brenda @David Zamora This is a very practical & effective application of music theory and ear training. After much music (mostly guitar & choir) and a college freshman year as a music major in my young younger life, I quit playing for decades at a time. But I always listened and played notes on my right hand fingers, almost daily as a habit. Instead of solfege I used numbers- thumb = one, pinky = 5, etc. I could tap out a melody on a table, my leg, anywhere. This internalized the notes I imagined with the music I was hearing. Since I've returned to playing music again, this method allows me to hear harmonic progressions and melodies while also being able to play them on a keyboard. Brenda your method actually works! I have just skipped the solfege and gone directly to the number system.

I am glad that you posted this Brenda because some of my favorite songs that I want to learn to play and sing, are not the popular ones that you can find the chord charts to.

I look forward to learning this method and hopefully becoming some what proficient in it. I am not a professional musician but I do love playing guitar. However, with a family at home and a full time job I am left with little time to actually have a guitar in my hands to figure out songs that I want to learn. I also mainly listen to extreme metal so if I want to learn something it's mostly just me and my ear. Guitar tabs can be pretty unreliable! Your story has really given me hope that I can still keep musically progressing given my current situation. Thank you!

@David Zamora You can analyze music anywhere with no instruments other than your mind & body & sense of hearing. Brenda's method works. I know because I've been using it for over 40 years. I can hear a lot of songs and tell/write the chords immediately. Some jazz is a bit harder though. But that's the challenge, eh? 😊

Quick question. How did you figure out the key centers of the 600 songs you learned without your instrument? Did you create a tonal center with your pitch pipe?

I used my pitch pipe to find Do. It worked really well and made the process very easy.

Great video; thank you. Do you find this works when the bass notes are inversions of the chord? I’m experimenting with some songs I know and this is confusing me.
@davidwittie4177
Жыл бұрын
I think inversions simply require the additional step of finding the root of the harmonic progression's chord(s). Trust your ears and listen to the overall tonality. Also, sharpen up all your music theory skills. At the very least be able to identify the I, IV, V and ii, iii, vi sounds in every major key. And the same goes for their relative minor keys. At first it's work but soon it's liberating. 😊👍

Do not quite understand the bass line idea.
@codetech5598
11 ай бұрын
The bass will usually play the root of the chord on the first beat of the measure. Once you know the root you can find the chord. After the first beat the bass may do some fancy stuff but that is just extra notes after the root was revealed. The bass will also play the root whenever the chord changes within a measure.
