Description

Welcome to Ear Training for the Curious Guitarist. This is a complete ear training course that will teach you how to identify any note, interval, or pitch relatively. Ear training is an extremely valuable skill that's taught in every university-level music program and is now available for you here.

You'll use relative pitch ear training to hear & play music without actually seeing your guitar - only hearing it. This is a skill that every musician can easily learn and every professional guitarist uses regularly.

Any kind of six string guitar will work well for this course - electric, acoustic, or classical.

Most of these lesson videos have a PDF attachment. These PDFs can be downloaded, saved, & printed. They're the guitar tabs and text lessons. Be sure to get all the PDFs.

We'll begin with refresher lessons of the chromatic & major scales as well as intervals, leading us to the pitch recognition game. I'll play this game a few times, explaining as we go, and continue on to give you all the tools & associations to help you identify all 12 pitches by ear for every key.

This course is designed for complete beginners as well as advanced musicians. Every guitarist & musician should learn & master this skill.

This course is fun & great for your musical development.

I'm glad you're here - let's begin.

Who this course is for:

  • Every guitarist should take this course.
  • Guitarists wanting to master pitch recognition.
  • Guitarists wanting to improve their musical hearing.
  • Beginner, intermediate, & advanced guitarists.
