Play Chords By Ear Mini-Course
Recap and Next Steps
Congratulations on finishing the “chords by ear” mini-course!
You now have the knowledge and the starter skills you need to play thousands of popular songs by ear.
Recap
Here’s a quick recap of everything we covered in the 6 days of the mini-course:
- In Lesson 1 you learned about how exactly “playing by ear” works and how you can learn to do it.
- In Lesson 2 you met the I, IV and V chords and why they are the key to playing songs by ear. You used the handy key chart to figure out what those chords are in some common keys.
- In Lesson 3 it was time to begin learning to recognise the I and IV chords using the training and test tracks. You also practiced listening out for the I chord in a real song.
- In Lesson 4 you extended your chord recognition skills to the V chord, using the V7 chord as a helpful stepping stone. You applied your new skills to a real song which has a I-IV-V-IV progression.
- In Lesson 5 the realistic I-IV-V practice tracks let you connect your new skills with real musical styles including rock, dance and solo guitar. You also tried jamming along and improvising over I-IV-V chord progressions.
- In Lesson 6 it was time for the final challenge: to play 3 songs by ear!
Well done, you’re off to a great start!
Don’t stop now. Here are some next steps to keep you improving and extending your new chords-by-ear skills…
