How to Figure Out Any Song's Chords by Ear: 5 Ear Training Strategies
Stop guessing chords by trial and error — learn 5 organic ear training strategies to figure out the chord progression of almost any song using your ear and basic theory. Jason Zac from Nathaniel School of Music shares 5 practical approaches for cracking the chords of a song by ear. You'll derive chords from the melody, the bass roots, cadences, and several predictive theory-based approaches. This works for piano players, singers and pretty much any musician. Along the way you'll sharpen your relative pitch, learn to read chord charts, and use functional harmony and the emotional quality of chords to confirm what you're hearing. ⏱️ Chapters 00:00 Introduction 03:05 Chord Change Points 04:42 How to read Chord Charts 07:28 Preparation for Ear Training 08:36 All about that Bass 11:25 Relative Pitch 17:07 AI taking over ?! 18:19 Cadences 20:34 Melody landing notes 26:45 Emotions & Qualities of Chords 31:16 Indian Classical Intervals 33:01 Following the Process 36:27 Functional Harmony 39:56 Conclusion 🏫 Courses, Workshops or Private lessons ➡️ https://forms.gle/fsbhFKSgJbZ5xZEr8 ============================= 📹 Our Video Courses (Everything for Life Bundle) ➡️ https://learn-music.nathanielschool.com/ 🎹 Piano Courses & Private Lessons ➡️ https://piano.nathanielschool.com ============================= ▶️ Related Lessons & Playlists 👂🏽 Ear Training Lessons (Playlist) ➡️ https://geni.us/EarTraining 🎹 Ear Training Exercises for Beginners (5 Piano Levels) ➡️ https://youtu.be/NNEjziA2GY0 🎵 How to Sing and Play Intervals (Theory & Ear Training) ➡️ https://youtu.be/RHjKit5YnLc ============================= 🎓 Learn Music with Nathaniel School of Music & Jason Zac ➡️ https://nathanielschool.com 📚 All our YouTube lessons (1000+) by skill level, topic & genre ➡️ https://learning-portal.nathanielschool.com ============================= 💰 Donate on PayPal ➡️ https://geni.us/DonatePayPal 📸 Instagram ➡️ https://instagram.com/jasonzac 📞 Call +91 98454 65411 · 💬 WhatsApp chat +91 77604 56847 📧 Customised & Private Classes ➡️ music@nathanielschool.com 🎧 Listen to Jason Zac Music ➡️ https://riffs.jasonzacmusic.com/ #EarTraining #ChordsByEar #ChordProgressions
