Right now, I kind of landed a gig for teaching, and I was asked some stuff about ear training. Like specifically, how can I hear the chords of a backing track? What do I know the dominant? How can I tell what chords being played within the backing track and I walk them through what I knew but I told him I said I’m not really certain on this because I don’t have a very good musical ear. What I was doing, was going for the scale and pulling the root notes and then you know, adjusting it cause it tells me what the key is based off the scale pattern. So really I guess I just want to get good at identifying any of the chords in the progression so that would mean probably just my basic trials for now sticking with diatonic scales like major and minor. I can hear the dominant when it’s played in harmonic minor so much more clearly especially when it’s borrowed. But your training for me is definitely the biggest struggle right now, but I know I have aspects of it, but it’s not all there.

@Connor Gray ok man, ill try and be more active here

holy crap thats genuinely a crazy thing to do

Thats at about 11:30pm my time, not really ideal

imo everything opens up once you learn the major scale, and figure out what it means and how to use it
