Hi Everyone,

In this lesson, I'm building on the concepts from the previous lesson, showing how to build a little map of dissonant and nice notes to find the note you're looking for. It might seem tedious at first, but it's a really nice way to get into it if you're just starting down the ear training path.

If your goal is to be able to hear a song and play along, this kind of practice is a foundational requirement.

Check out the practice tracks below! Level 1 is the easiest, giving you 30 seconds to match the pitch on the low E string. There are five separate tracks for each level so you can try over and over again without feeling like you might accidentally memorize the order.

Level 1 Set: 30 seconds before reveal

Track 1Track 2Track 3Track 4Track 5 • 

Level 2 Set: 20 seconds before reveal

Track 1Track 2Track 3Track 4Track 5

Level 3 Set: 8 seconds before reveal
Track 1Track 2Track 3Track 4 Track 5

Let me know if you'd like some tracks with something like 3 seconds before the reveal and I cook those up as well!

Post your frustrations, excitement, confusion, etc on the community forum. 

Also, I've attached some note name scratch paper for you to use.

Level three track 5 @ 1:53 the G on the third fret has a weird triple sound.

Like being able to distinguish more colors like a painter would see. Practice must be the only way.
