Jazz Ear Training - Hearing the location of the root, 3rd, 5th and 7th in chords

This video demonstrates my system for hearing the location of a specific note in a chord. If you can already play your chords from the 1-3-5-7 ascending and 7-5-3-1 descending, this video will take you to the next level. This system has helped many of students reach a deeper level of hearing harmony, to the point where they can play a "C" and hear that note clearly in their mind's ear as the Root, 3rd, 5th or 7th of any chord type.
This is just one video lesson from my 300 lesson online course. Join today at: gregfishmanjazzstudios.com

Yet again really good insightful hip advice..

[@ivaniriarte2964]

This is a great exercise, Greg. It will be a great workout for me, and enough work for a long time. I have just realized that I can usually hear and sing most intervals going up... for this exercise you need to sing the intervals going down. OMG!

Very helpful thank you Greg

[@Pepsax]

Wonderful!

[@Osnosis]

Another great exercise is to do the same thing with scales. Start with C as the tonic note, then the 2nd, then the 3rd etc. When you get to doing it as ALL 12, then you're into the altered scales, etc. (e.g. C as the b9 or #5 of the scale).

[@gregfishmanjazzstudios]

Yes. I do the same with all scales and modes.

[@precisionhoops365]

Awesome thanks

Jou Play Bb Not c, just saying.

[@gregfishmanjazzstudios]

The tenor saxophone is a transposing instrument. I play my C, which is a concert Bb. I say the note name of the instrument, so people watching, playing the same instrument, know the fingerings. Some beginning sax players can’t transpose from concert key. This is why I say the note in the sax key. Hope that you enjoyed the video lesson.

@@gregfishmanjazzstudios Well, i liked the idea, but i do ,obviously, not play sax. It was helpful for me anyways, so thank you.
