My Secret to hearing chords by ear from Advanced Musicians | Jason St Clair, Jarrell Little, etc..

The problem many musicians have with hearing chords is that they don't know what to listen for? In this video, I take several great-sounding gospel musicians and find out their chords by ear quickly using this unique technique. Do I specifically train my ear to recognize chords and scales? Well, not quite... but I do listen for one type of powerful chord...

Hey, that’s me 😂! I’m honored 💯💪🏽

[@SeanWilsonPiano]

dude you're a genius doc smh...

[@jeremiahlavine5904]

Ice cold doc 🙏🏿🙏🏿

[@lbamusic]

This is the stuff Bill Evans used to do routinely. It's a minimalist, harmonic style of playing that you can take from Jazz, and play very effectively in Gospel.

[@sofoboachie5221]

My goodness, Sean is just a freaking genius. Mind blown

[@nealb6]

Being knowing Jason for years. I'm also a Keyboardist, but i played Bass during a concert where he played keys. Awesome musician and person. He's a Derrick Jackson desciple...

[@shaunhlatshwayo9832]

You must listen for a chord in its most basic form 🙌🏾🙌🏾makes perfect sense. Thank you so much doc!

[@SeanWilsonPiano]

there it is doc!

[@boccaccioprince2231]

Wow sean this is a revelation thanks bro i never knew u should listen to the triad within and the tritone wow mind blowing!!! Thanks man appreciate you my bro

[@SeanWilsonPiano]

yeah for sure man, its def a new thought process

[@lioneltall7219]

Your hearing is on another level Sean, Holy! 🤯

[@jeremiahlavine5904]

Jarrell little is ice cold need more footage of him frfr and David Cartwright Jason is the Goat him And Kc are crazy

[@moosesoundsmusic6352]

Wow Brother you are an incredible pianist your ear is on ANOTHER HEARING LEVEL you got perfect pitch for centuries

[@musical_lolu4811]

Basic _interval_ ear training is where it's at.

[@musical_lolu4811]

Also, you gotta SING the inner lines and 'voices'. Vocalizing it makes it stick out.

[@vladimirtolentino5809]

Sean, its a great pleasure to see and hear your chords, im learning so much about you...greetings from El Salvador...

[@SeanWilsonPiano]

Appreciate it man!! Thanks for watching!

[@gvibes9223]

@@SeanWilsonPiano we bringin back the vintage Sean 45 min videos?👀😂

[@SeanWilsonPiano]

@@gvibes9223 man you mention these longer vids almost every week lol... something tells me you enjoyed those

[@MusiqExpress]

Amazing video bro! Hearing those triads and intervals are so key in hearing music faster. Had some of my favorite musicians in this one!

[@SeanWilsonPiano]

yessir bro!!!

[@dkant4511]

last example is Db dom 7 not Eb minor/Db to Db major/Db. The flat 7th is held throughout both changes. I like your theory of triads and tritones.

[@rolandrd1000s]

man been waiting for this 🙏🙏🙏

[@jdiaz4877]

I listen to the bass and the melody first and then the chord comes together. :)

[@zeru071]

When I hear chords I relate them to songs. That 2nd one reminds me of the 1st note in Better Days by Le’Andria Johnson. Love your work mate.

[@SeanWilsonPiano]

Yes that strategy works very well

[@BigSwoleMusick]

Sean is the man!

Bro I go to turn on LP and catch these chords with you bro!!! I caught them kind of quick because I didn’t realize I ready knew them it was just their approach. I’m going to follow them so I can study their approach!!! Thanks for turning me on to them!!!

[@SeanWilsonPiano]

You used the vocabulary rule. We identify chords from our existing vocabulary. This is a different spin on it

[@mauriciorcamolese4772]

Tenho aprendido demais com seus vídeos! Deus te abençoe sempre meu brother!

[@tinotendamandizvidza1903]

I never knew it's triads u should hear for and tritones

[@SeanWilsonPiano]

It's not traditional, but its ONE of the ways I use a lot

[@normanspurgeon5324]

Very interesting, and valuable to spell the complex chords out- ready for more!

[@jeremytuggy9]

"How are you going to learn to play this stuff if you can't hear it?" Welp I'm putting in my 2 weeks 📃😂

[@SeanWilsonPiano]

😂😂

[@88KeysMan]

Nice, Sean! I hear textures and I do recognize triads and some upper structure chords.

Anyone have the link to the full clip of Jason st claire

[@kerylmcjohnson9537]

How are you even? You make it look so simple

[@andyokus5735]

You've got to get used to playing polychords then you will start to recognize them. That's the key!

[@Spartanmomo]

What is a poly chord my friend ?

[@andyokus5735]

@@Spartanmomo Play a C major triad on top on top of any major trid. Buy the " ECM Fake Book ".

[@soulinspiration1]

Thanks!!! This is very helpful. Where have you been all my musician's life! Your stank face lets me know when you hear a chord you like LOL.

[@ismaelsedoc4947]

Hi sean, at what age you started playing piano?

[@SeanWilsonPiano]

I think I was around 5 or 6

[@Mr_Kirk_]

Perfect pitch or just good relative?

[@SeanWilsonPiano]

Well, Perfect pitch doesn’t hear intervals only relative could do that… to pick up triads you’d need relative

[@Mr_Kirk_]

@@SeanWilsonPiano Understood - and thx for the reply. I was wondering about how you called out the Bb in the beggining.

[@SeanWilsonPiano]

@@Mr_Kirk_ that's called tonal memory, what most people confuse with perfect pitch. Mine is pretty good tho so folks think I have perfect, no problem doc

[@webzwatch5224]

I don't what to say 🤔

[@claudiakramer4516]

tritones split by thirds or seconds
