I need to work on my ear training...

I need to work on my ear training. Do you think the standard approach of doing intervals is useful or is there a better way?

No, play melodies you like while knowing what notes they are. Identifying intervals will come posteriorly to that.

Dylan, get back in the bunker, you need to practice 6 more scales today.

I spent every day like 20 minutes on musictheory.net and do exericises on recignizing notes on fretboard, intervals with guitar in hand. Then I try to transcribe songs, solos etc.
Of course transcribing is most important, but spending little time every single day on isolated exericises helps, because sometimes you feel like banging your head on the wall when you are trying to hear parts from real song.
Now I plan to also do exericises on singing intervals from triads in all inversions.

Sing a song you like and try to reproduce it on your instrument. Once you become more advanced, try playing the same thing while singing counterpoint, then again while adding more voices, change what voice you are singing*.

Yeah beginner is going to do this for sure

I did say the whole thing with counterpoint is an advanced exercise, but transcription really is the single best way of learning how to intuitively recognize musical motion.

Yeah but there are also simpler exericises for example just singing intervals in chords, scales etc. There is a reason why things like solfège exist.
I don't how would you like to learn people counterpoint since it isn't that much used in popular songs. How do you learn it? Analyzing classical music?

*teach people

I actually heard him shout that during one of his streams

No, intervals don't work. Do chords

>Yeah but there are also simpler exericises for example just singing intervals in chords, scales etc. There is a reason why things like solfège exist.
These are IMO less musical and intuitive.

You start simple by playing note against note until you find something that sounds good, then you add more notes before you begin to add rhythm flourishes, pretty similar to how it is taught in for example the Gradus, except without a bunch of autistic rules that nobody actually followed anyway.

shut the fuck up idiot you have no idea what you're talking about
go with identifying intervals and chord types, lots of youtube videos available. you should practice singing scales too.

Solfege worked for me. Started with Do Re Mi and transcribed 2 bar melodies with just 3 notes, then 4, 5, 6 etc...

just sing what you hear this isn't complicated

Ok that's interesting, might try it in the future with looper pedal. But still feel like it's more for someone who is interested more in learning classical music.

If your instrument can play chords, do that instead of using a pedal. It's also not specific to classical music, it's really more general musicianship.

I always just think about what note sounds good on a chord, never tried this counterpoint thing, but I'm just an amateur sitting at home with a guitar

Honestly, this is something you're born with and cannot be cultivated. Do you think Mozart did "ear training"? lmao

This, what good is being able to identify intervals if you don't know how to apply them

That's why solfege is so good. You learn what notes sound like in context

What a retard. Mozart started creating music when he was 5 years old, so I guess anybody who is not a genius shouldnt have a pleasure to learn an instrument for themselves

It's not like you need to learn one thing at the time. Learn music and do SOME exericises in the meantime

>genius

You just sound lazy bro. Apply yourself and focus

It was ironic. I'm not the person who says that you can't learn it.

This might be okay as preliminary step, but it definitely won't get you very far.
