-~-~~-~~~-~~-~-If you want to grow as a musician and be a better improviser, you have to train your ears. There's no shortcut. That's why I designed this lesson especially for guitarists. We will learn to recognize the mayor and minor scales and the intervals we've been talking about on past lessons (major & minor seconds, major & minor thirds, perfect fourths and fifths, augmented fourths, diminished fifths, major & minor sixths, major & minor sevenths) just with your ears, no guitar required. With this knowledge you will be able to figure out modes (Ionian, Dorian, Phrygian, Lydian, Mixolydian, Aeolian & Locrian) and apply them just using your ears!

Thanks David. This fits in nicely with where I am going with the Guitar Infusion course. I have the modes pretty well worked out but this is showing me how to hear them in a musical context. I see how jazz pros have got this skills down to rapid automatic. I know that the better I get at this, the better a musician I will be, no matter what my knowledge or skill level.

Thanks for sharing David! Great Lesson as always.

Awesome! Love this. Thank you.

David Fabulous Master Class Course. I have suddenly realised what I have been doing wrong for the last 100 years. I am a software programmer and play guitar like a computer. I have lived with the fallacy that if I would learn more scales, more jazz chords, more licks, that would make me a good guitarist. It does not. My 18 year old son, plays from the heart. He hears a tune and plays it. Ok ... he played classical music in a school orchestra for 6 years, which probably helps. But still, unlike me he cares nothing for more theory. He just plays with his ears and his heart and it sounds great. Question: Am I correct in thinking that the modes are not straight jackets. I mean, when improvising a person can play all the modes within the same song, so long as it fits. Perhaps only observing the minor or major key. So in reality, if I am correct, "the modes" are just labels we give to the chromatic scale.

vincej151 well I'm no David but I certainly do. Some things don't seem to work logically or shouldn't be matched following theory but do compliment each other in the appropriate setting. If it doesn't sound right, your ears will tell, lol.

Ears can often lie, if you are not used to it, the intervals used in Indian music will not sound right.

[@windsofmarchjourneyperrytr2823]

@@onesufi Not to be a jerk, but don't the Indians often play fretless instruments? I'd heard about things that aren't Western scale, so you'd have E and a 1/4, E and 1/8th and so on...Not just E and Eb. That would leave you with 64 or more notes in one octave. I think.

[@windsofmarchjourneyperrytr2823]

If you play it and the dog runs off, you need more work. Lol. I play a bunch of instruments and I'm bad at all of them equally. I just don't care. I can sing (Trained there), I play some drums (had lessons, a bit of guitar, a tiny bit of bass, and i just bought a sax. No idea what I'm doing most of the time. But i have a good natural sense of timing, and a good memory for songs, plus a good "feel" or "pocket." So, I'm told. There's nothing on your channel so i can't tell you what the problem is. Suggest: play and record. A lot. Get a teacher. I can't necessarily play by ear, either. I don't have perfect pitch. I don't even have relative pitch (learned ear). Theory can't ever hurt. But watch Mr. holland's Opus. "Music is not just notes on the page." Play stuff you FEEL. Not stuff you THINK. Takes a long time to get your pocket. Kids can always beat you, btw. So don't compete. Kids don't care, is why. They don't know things are hard. They learn faster than you, anyway. Watch Buddy Rich Live at the Top. "Uncle Albert." Those 1st three notes. Yeah. It's nothing to play, right? Well, it's *obviously* Buddy Rich, even if you are blind. It helps he must have been playing a good 50+ years at that point, but it's not everything. He was pro at 18 months in a Vaudeville family. Btw, i screw up ALL THE time. I take risks but i don't blow past my skill level so i can easily drum my way out of a corner. You do that by taking a half second pause, then jump.back on the beat. Play with other people. Jam nites. Record.
