Guitar Forums

I've never had a musical education. I've faffed about on DAWs, guitar and piano for years and of course, without lessons, I've remained an amateur. But I can't believe I'd never tried what I'm trying now. Going back to the basics. I'm talking about ear training.

Another way that worked for me was to improvise/compose. It really forces you to think about the function of a chord or particular scale degree.

I've only done a little of it but I guess just like with theory, it was for a very long time something I didn't see the need for. It's still something I have to discover.

I have formal music training, and I can confirm - ear training isn't the basics, it's the fundamentals! A good ear is the foundation on which all musicianship is based.

Sonofield app is excellent for this.
