3 Tips to Learning Chord Progressions By Ear

Hey there, music enthusiasts! In this video, I'm thrilled to share with you three game-changing tips for mastering chord progressions by ear. As a musician myself, I know the struggle of trying to decipher those elusive chords in your favorite songs. But fear not, because I've got your back!
First off, we dive into the importance of listening to the bass note. Whether it's a groovy bassline or a subtle keyboard riff, the bass note holds the key to unlocking the chord progression. I'll guide you through the process of honing in on that foundational note and using it as a launching pad to identify whether the chord is major or minor.
Next, we explore the emotional nuances of chords. Major chords radiate brightness and joy, while minor chords tug at your heartstrings with their melancholic tones. I'll teach you how to tune into these emotional flavors and trust your instincts when determining the mood of a chord.
But wait, there's more! We'll delve into the diatonic structure of music, uncovering the hidden patterns that govern chord progressions in every major and minor key. This invaluable insight acts as a cheat code, making chord identification a breeze.
So, if you're ready to level up your musical ear and unlock the secrets of chord progressions, join me on this journey. Together, we'll decode melodies, unravel harmonies, and transform your listening experience. Don't forget to like, subscribe, and hit that bell icon to stay updated on future tutorials.

Diatonic Structure of Music - Aiieee! That sounds scary. But once you dive into it, it is basically just counting on your fingers. Your dog could probably do it if he only had fingers. And once you get it, all the complexity of keys and chords just falls away. So simple, so beautiful.

Let’s have a lesson on keeping that pinky down. Mine won’t behave. Working on finger exercises, transitions, bar chords but need to keep that fret hand in the right position. Pinky flys away until needed.
