Summary

Hi, fellow music lover! Congratulations on starting your music-making journey.

Ear training is one of the most rewarding skills you can develop, and it’s one that you can work on every day. Which makes total sense: Music is an aural experience, after all. Ear training helps you turn the music you hear into music you make on your guitar. This works for your own musical ideas, too: When you dream up a great riff or chord progression, you naturally want to sit down and play it right away. Ear training helps you do just that.

This lesson is broken into several chapters, each of them focusing on two to four related intervals, chords, or scales. There are plenty of examples for each interval, chord, and scale, so you can work straight through the lesson or hop around as much as you like.

The last chapter is a sort of final exam. It brings together all the intervals, chords, and scales we’ve covered and mixes them up for an extra challenge. Give it a go every once in a while to measure your progress.

Best of all, every concept we discuss here is played on a real guitar by a real guitarist.

Oh, and before I forget, the most important tip of all: Have fun!

Inside the audiobook:

  • Nice and encouraging female narrator
  • Real guitar recordings throughout
  • All intervals from prime to octave covered
  • Well-chosen interval comparisons
  • Ten-plus hours of interval recognition
  • All triads, i.e., major, minor, suspended, augmented, diminished, covered
  • All commonly used seventh and ninth chords, e.g., major 7, minor 7, dominant 7, minor major 7, covered
  • Well-chosen chord comparisons
  • Eight-plus hours of chord recognition
  • All commonly used scales, i.e., major, minor, dorian, phrygian, lydian, mixolydian, locrian, covered
  • Additionally, harmonic and melodic minor, major and minor pentatonic, covered
  • Well-chosen scale comparisons
  • Six-plus hours of scale recognition

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Not great

I struggle with ear training and hoped that this would help. The narrator describes major v minor notes first v third etc but doesn’t actually tell you what the notes are in the first place

Especially for One Credit, It’s a Bargain.

The book is great! Especially for one credit, it's a bargain. Intervals & Chords are focused on listening exercises, whereas Scales gives instructions on what to listen for. I thought it might help to know what is inside:
