playing viral songs by ear... CUPID-FIFTY FIFTY (uncut version)

perfect pitch, he knows aural very well probably knows theory very well as well still

[@philipchenbusy]

its just 2-5-1-6. It's the archetypical PD-D-T in classical music descending by fifths. Any amateur musician can identify it the first time they listen to it (tbh diatonic pop music requires little to no effort to play by ear). The improv/rhythm aspects are probably more impressive.

most songs have chord progression which are simple to predict and spice out. Although, knowing this making it sound good like this is tough. My brain knows what to do but my fingers simply dont like it.

LOVED when both of them would add different musicalities that weren't a part of the original recording because it was a moment between the two of "OOHHH that was good" and it just tied the jam session together. Such a short clip but it was absolute gold.

[@ryanhernandez6002]

I’m a musician in the wedding industry and I intentionally learn the first dance song by listening to it the day of on the drive to the wedding so it’s fresh in my mind. Most of these pop songs are four chords, five tops. If it’s not a traditional Pop song, then it might be a bit tricky here, but learning how to hear a song and identify what’s going on takes a lot of years of practice.

[@BSIT-IGenesisManingas]

im also a musician mainly if you wanna do it by hear is be familiar with your instrument's sounds also this what i believe how Beethoven was able to continue to compose music but yes it really takes a long time to learn to play by ear, this is only my own opinion and thoughts

[@nishkavyas6417]

It’s just mesmerizing how these two listen to a song and then suddenly play it, in a different tune and happily without messing up. My mind blew when i heard them play. And i suddenly found my self doing the dance and singing it! Well played! Keep it up!!👍👌

[@papillonvu]

Ok, I have a pretty good musical ear, but that’s just crazy how the pianist, in just a few seconds also immediately caught the instrument drop off at the start of the chorus!! Bravo gentlemen! Very impressive and very cool!

[@manasvineiiiii]

The absolute serotonin the break in the chorus gives me is unmatched.

OMG. i've been wanting to figure out how to do this for so, so, long. i'm a violist and pianist and belong to an orchestra, and on days we don't rehearse, i'm in a practice room trying to figure out things by ear on both instruments. it's absolutely mind blowing to me how yall do this. doesn't seem like you guys respond to comments, but i'd just like to say that this is really inspiring and motivating! and ofc, i'd love to hear any tips :)

@@_ren1430 Lovebites is an all-female "metal" band from Japan. I can't find the video, but the girls are performing some of their songs in a "studio concert" during the peak of COVID. I'll figure it out for you. But Miyako, yeah, she was playing classical piano at the age of three, then later decided she wanted to play electric guitar. Today she does both, and flawlessly.

@MSDR it was just a little triggering. There are only four chords to remember and then the last chord before the chorus is a dominant seventh. That chord plus with the delay of the "drop" into the chorus is what makes the song that extra bit catchy. I understand that it's not easy to learn a song by ear and I apologize for causing any issues, I was just pointing out a little mistake. There's nothing bad about the playing though, these are clearly Teo very good musicians and I stated in my comment that I liked the video. There was just that small thing that confused me a bit, that's all. Sorry for seeming like an internet douche
