So maybe you’ve learned the basic chords or scales in the instrument. You’ve been working on his technique, and is beginning to merge. There are a couple of songs that you like to play and sound good. When you play your ax, it’s starting to get an idea of when it’s really in tune. What now?
I can not emphasize enough the importance of being able to play by ear. Everything you’ve ever heard anyone play on your instrument at your disposal – just understand it. Learning to play melodies or instrument using parts of the ear is like anything else practice: the more you do, the easier it will be. If you do this often enough, you do not even need the instrument to find out. The concept of teaching your ear to decipher musical structures as they are playing is called ear training and practiced and perfected for centuries.
If you’re interested in learning to play guitar by ear, or any other instrument for that matter, there are some excellent learning aids available to help! The current state of learning aids for training the ear is very good these days (thanks for asking). With a variety of books, CDs, DVDs and software, even, there are plenty to choose from when you decide to add this important skill for your arsenal: Ear Training Book -
In the musician world, there are two renowned institutions of learning, the Berklee College of Music in Boston, and Musicians Institute (MI) in Los Angeles. Both have their own vision of training the ear. To Berklee Ear Training is essential for contemporary music and for me is ear training – The complete guide for all musicians. Walking home, which makes a wide range of books, CDs, and DVDs for all musicians and styles, has its assimilation, which is the ear training for instrumentalists with a whopping 6 CDs full of exercises and drills. If you are a guitar or bass, definitely want to check out last Eartraining for guitar and bass by Gary Willis of Tribal Tech My friend Chris, an electric jazz bassist working in New York, I love this book. Ear Training Videos -
Playing the guitar by ear, or almost any other instrument for that matter, is not as hard as you may think! For videos, Berklee has produced Harmonic Ear Training (DVD). This 73-minute DVD will help you recognize chord progressions quickly and listen to music more analytically. bass players get a real pleasure, as the jazz bass has published John Patitucci John Patitucci – Electric Bass 2: Soloing Ear-training and six-string video art, which teaches the sole emphasis on the importance of training the ear. Ear Training Software -
As expected, the software is a natural choice for teaching ear training, because it is interactive. The cream of the crop is Ars Nova Practica Musica that is compatible with Windows and Macintosh, covering almost all aspects of ear training, and offers customized workouts. Ear Training Coach is a more affordable option and offers a 10-degree ear training and music theory. However, the piece de resistance and the tool to be held around the world is ear training SlowGold CD-ROM. This ingenious piece of software allows you to slow down any piece of music on CD or MP3 without changing the pitch. So if you’re learning to play an excerpt from a recording, and is very fast, just run it through SlowGold hear every note in the exact tone he has played. Ear training hardware -
As expected, the makers of music players have gotten into the game ear training, and not surprisingly, the offerings are particularly good for electric guitar and bass guitar. The Tascam CD-GT1 MKII Guitar Trainer and Tascam CD-BT1 mkII Bass Guitar Trainer provides the software technology itself SlowGold slowdown, but have been located in a separate unit with a built-in CD player, effects, and a headphone jack to practice in silence. Tascam has even made one of the vocalists, the Tascam CD-VT1 Portable CD Vocal & Performance Trainer, which has a feature that eliminates Cancel vocal voice from the CD during playback. Karaoke will never be the same. . .
Learning aid to one side, a very useful exercise is to select a recording of a simple melody that you like. Listen very carefully. See if you can determine when the band is changing chords. If you can choose where these chord changes occur, then you know the points in time when it is necessary to determine what the next chord is.
Tune your instrument to the recording. Take the first chord of the song. As theater, try to select a low note on your instrument that best matches the chord. No one should note that resonates with the recording. Have you found? This is the root of that chord. If this note is a C, you know that the first chord is a C (something). It could be a major chord, a minor chord, a seventh chord, but whatever it is, is a C version of the chord. If you’re listening to “Hey Jude”, the tone for the first chord is an F. If you’re listening to “Wonderwall” is a F #. If it’s “Layla” is a D. . .
Now that you have your root, the next step is to determine the quality of the string. Is it a major chord or minor? Is it a power chord? One sure way to determine this is trial and error. Suppose that is a major chord. Evidence of this possibility by playing the major chord to its tonic, along with the recording. Sound good? Is it an echo? If so, you’ve just discovered what is the first chord. If not, try a minor chord. Touch the minor chord to its tonic, along with the recording. Sound good? Does this resonate? Try a few different options. If you’re stumped, look at the score or transcript of this recording. This is the answer key, so to speak. If you are just starting and need a lot of easy tunes to practice, there are some great books, 3-chord songs like the guitar chord songbook and 3 favorite songs with three chords.
After the first chord is resolved, go to the next point in time where this changes, and find out what is the second chord. Repeat this process until you have covered all the tone. Much of popular music is cyclical and that the same chord pattern often repeated 4.3 over the melody, so you do not need to find out more than 3-4 chords the whole song. Yes, when bands write great songs with just “three chords and an attitude” that makes your job a lot easier.
Why would you do this? Well, first of all, you are improving your ear. Secondly, it is improving their knowledge of chords because you’re forced to play a variety of chords. If you know your tone of a particular chord is an F #, but you do not know what quality is, you may need to test an F # major chord, an F # minor chord, an F # 7 chord, and so on. This solidifies the knowledge of line parameters through their instrument. The melodies to find out, the easier it is to find and play these chords. The other advantage of going through this process is that you are playing along with recordings, which will make you’re playing better, because you’re unconsciously absorb every nuance of the recording in your playing.
The main thing is not to sit around and do it on a regular basis. Turn on the radio and try your hand at whatever you play. If you do not like the melody, change the station. Set to classical station – yes, you can play along with the classics as well. Do not be afraid. All this is just music, and finally, armed with only one ear and the knowledge of some basic chords for the process of trial and error, you can find a way to play.
