timmo Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 I have to do the inevitable and learn ear training. The examples are so boring, like Star Spangled Banner and Ode To Joy etc. Has anyone got any better, enjoyable examples please. I so far have Maj 2nd That`s The Way I Like It... KC and the Sunshine Band Min 3rd Smoke on the Water...Deep Purple Maj 3rd Lady Madonna.... Beatles Perfect 5th I Wanna Be Adored.... Stone Roses Octave Pusherman .... Curtis Mayfield Anyone able to fill the gaps of proper songs? Everytime I try to think of something, they all seem to be 5ths and octaves. Preferably descending at the momnent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Woodcock Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 Learning ear training in this way will only enable you to recognise the sound of an interval, to get the complete picture you really need to internalise what the notes sound like in relation to a key centre. Download the Functional Ear Trainer app from http://www.miles.be/, it was recommended to me by my old teacher Joe Hubbard and I recommend it to all my students; I also like Bruce Arnold's books which Trey Gunn recommended. Both methods are based on a Charlie Banacos exercise I believe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timmo Posted January 14, 2018 Author Share Posted January 14, 2018 Thanks. I am doing ear training, but trying to familiarise myself to sounds of the interval. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
