      ​@raaahlancien but by the time you figure it out it's changed to a different chord 😆

      @AlexandarShmex Před 2 měsíci +3

      I have an answer, use two applications - Harmonomics and especially Functional Ear Trainer. If you do it daily and keep progressing, in a year or two you will be able to hear individual notes in chords. It can literally take you to world-class, elite ear level.

      Using a piano can be a good place to start. It’s easier to identify specific chord tones than on bass, also many bass chord patterns leave out certain notes (3rd/5th/7th) that can gives clues as to the specific chord.

    Learning how to identify chords by ear would be extremely useful. Especially with the 7th, 9th, sus2, sus4, augmented and diminished chords. Being able to hear which inversions of chords are used would also be beneficial. Something I have zero clue on how to learn and gets very confusing when the same chord can have like 5 different names based off the context they are used in.

    • @zeth4107
      @zeth4107 Před měsícem

      What i like to do is literally just learn songs by ears, but when learning it, you wanna bring out all the roots and figure out if it’s either major, minor, diminished, etc. by learning the fills, or listening to what other instruments are playing. Starting out, learning the fills would be more beneficial. But a lot of it is from just memorizing the sound of each chords, which takes a lot of experience. But learning the fills should eventually get you better, if you do the method consistently. This is currently my method rn, and learning theories while putting those theories i learned into practice by learning songs have helped me identify chords a lot. Tho i think charles would definitely have a better method than mine

    • @TristanDelroeux
      @TristanDelroeux Před měsícem

      There is no secrets to this, like every other skills you have to practice it. For every chord you have to find the root of the chord and then find all the added/altered notes by finding the intervals with the root. At first, you could try to play these chords on a piano to see how it sounds and then try to sing every note.

    • @GameDevMadeEasy
      @GameDevMadeEasy Před měsícem

      @@TristanDelroeux I think the part that really makes it confusing is that there are 3 note and then extended chords which adds more notes; Sometimes the name of the chord changes and others, it stays the same. Then there is the dominant note sound may not be the indicator of the chord's name itself.

    Charles is a phenomenal talent, for sure. He has taken slap and tap to an entirely new level of musicality. As a jazz guy, he's not the greatest "soloist" however, meaning improv finger-style and all that - obviously you can't be great at 'everything'. So that makes this lesson even more valuable, especially to beginners. Very applicable, and it's not taught from a level you'll never achieve (unlike his ridiculous slap and tap stuff... godlike!) Another GREAT teacher, probably the best, is Scott Devine. Just a superb soloist and teacher - a rare combo. Thanks Charles.

  • @MrDaneBrammage
    @MrDaneBrammage Před měsícem +1

    Guitarists often get away with ignoring the chords and just playing diatonic scales because the rest of the band is covering the harmony. This chord tone approach is more necessary for bass players because when it's time for a bass solo, everybody else has a bad habit of laying out and leaving the bass to carry the weight of the harmony and solo at the same time. If you're playing chord tones, you're automatically implying the harmony even if nobody else is.

  • @Andyw1228
    @Andyw1228 Před měsícem

    Long time ago for soling, I looked only at the root notes of a riff and neglected them thirds and then looked up the key which has all those root tones in it. On guitar it’s normally C/a or G/e and I didn’t know of modes then. Most of the time it worked out neglecting the thirds, because they were - as all songs were made by either me or my guitarist buddy- automatically in the right alternation, otherwise we felt that something is wrong. But we did run into problems when in C a B was played- We didn’t know of seventh chords then, Humanity has such a rich source of information by their fingertips now, I wonder what I would be now, I we had that back then. Maybe I would have become a professional musician or my whole band. We all had talents, but different motivations and intentions, but all had a huge interest in making music. Now I only play guitar or drums once per month….😮
