Ear Training (Recognizing tones and chords)
Posted in Ear Training, Music on Tuesday, December 13th, 2011 at 12:46 pm No Comments
I never gave this much thought before, but I was listening to a jazz piece the other day and instead of hearing a bunch of confusing chords and notes I could hear the chordal movement of the piece. And, it wasn’t intimidating. It just made sense and I felt…
Naming Chords by Ear
Posted in Blog, Ear Training, Guitar Lessons, Music on Monday, July 11th, 2011 at 1:17 pm No Comments
I don’t ever sit around and try to name chords by ear so this was a bit odd for me. I was in a church service where they play music before the message. The service was 7/10/2011 and the band was playing. I couldn’t see the guitarist who was…
Relative Pitch and Perfect Pitch
Posted in Ear Training, Music on Wednesday, July 6th, 2011 at 11:35 am No Comments
When I was studying the David Lucas Burge course on Perfect Pitch he mentions several times that relative pitch and perfect pitch grow together. I have found this to be absolutely true, but it has taken me a while to feel the effects. I have acquired what you could…
Ear Training 3 Year Update

What has ear training done for me so far?
It used to be pretty hard for me to figure things out by ear. Nowadays, that is my favorite way to learn music. I used to spend time looking up tablature online or in books and then trying to learn…
Playing music and hearing “feelings”
Posted in Ear Training, Music on Thursday, January 6th, 2011 at 10:37 am No Comments
I was playing guitar a couple of days ago and noticed that I was interpreting the notes as feelings. I hadn’t really noticed this before, but it was beautiful. David Burge speaks about music and feelings and colors, etc. I think it’s easy for people to grasp the idea…

This is a great article on ear training for guitarists.
Pitch Awareness
Posted in Blog, Ear Training, Music on Tuesday, December 7th, 2010 at 9:30 am No Comments
I think it’s pretty obvious that my hearing has changed greatly since I began ear training. Over the past few days I have noticed that I get a certain feeling in my brain when I hit certain notes. This is probably what David L. Burge is talking about when…
Relative Pitch Awareness
Posted in Ear Training, Music on Tuesday, November 23rd, 2010 at 11:19 am No Comments
I’ve been working with pitch recognition for a couple of years now and today I experienced something pretty cool. It was like my ears popped. I was listening to music most of the day and my awareness jumped up to a new level. I heard all of the instruments…
Improvisation
Posted in Ear Training, Music on Thursday, September 30th, 2010 at 11:03 am No Comments
I noticed something very unusual regarding my improvisational skills. I picked up the guitar and started improvising based on intervals instead of using entire chords, and it sounded totally unique to me. The tones were very clear to me and sounded rich. Obviously, this is one of the results…
