How To Figure Out Any Chord By Ear

In this video I will Teach You Concepts On How to Figure Out Any Chord By Ear. This may seem impossible at first but I will show you the concepts I taught Dylan to take his incredible ear to the next level and figure out any chord no matter the Complexity or Density Level. There are 3 keys Listen, Think and Analyze. Learn the Outside of the Chords the the Insides. I don't have Perfect Pitch and I can sing these chords. I couldn't do it on until I was exposed to this kind of Harmonic Language.

Can I identify chords? **listens to chord** Well, umm that, uhh... was definitely a chord.

How to identify chords?
*ask Dylan...

[wilsonconvictor]

Oh, I thought you would begin by teaching how to identify a C chord...

How to figure out any chord by ear:
Step One: Have perfect pitch hearing

Well, you lost me there.

I found this video years after it came out. I have perfect pitch, but I was never able to do chords. Obviously, I haven’t mastered it yet, but I could definitely feel the dots connecting while watching this. Thanks so much!

Dude..when I watch vids like this, I'm almost embarrassed to admit that I'm a musician..my ears are made of lead.

It's kind of like the old joke: How do you make ten million dollars? Step one: Get a million dollars.

How do you identify any chord, no matter how complex? Step one: Get perfect pitch.

I knew a few people in music school (college) that had abilities like Rick and Dylan and it only depressed me so much that I nearly killed myself. Fortunately, I didn’t and my ears have gotten better over the years. I am still in awe of Dylan however (and maybe a little jealous). Way to go Rick, what an amazing ear he has! 👍🏽

Rick Your smiles at Dylan's skills as he identifies these chords show how proud you are. I look forward to these videos and love all the older ones to enhance skills and learn. I have a big 40 year gap in theory classes from college you are filling with practice strategies, interval training, use of EQ, sidebar stories.. Everything music..! I have and will continue to I enjoy the channel immensely. I feel like I know you. Thank You

Imagine how more and more kids will learn this kind of stuff in the future cause we get more and more effective in seperating the relevant from the irrelevant information regarding theory and ear training. It's ridiculous how ineffective a lot of classical music teachers school their students... I wish I had a teacher like Rick when I was younger or even now... I can only try to catch up with this kind of stuff!

I had a piano teacher years ago who was just like Dylan, only she was in her mid 30's having played piano since a very young age. I tried my best to challenge her with bizarre chords, but she recited the notes instantly and correctly every single time. It's just amazing to witness this talent in person!

[picksalot]

Thanks Rick for explaining the logic and sorting process you taught Dylan. It's very useful to see your very thorough process in action.

[kaitsu]

Wow! You've got gifted son. Hes very highly educated at that age, basically having professional talent already at school age.. Got a great teacher as well..
Lately i have been bingewatching these videos for pasttime and i want to let you know I appreciate them, its very approachable way to get educated of these little things i hadnt figured out.
I didnt take lessons in music, more of a trial and error, "if it sounds good" approach to writing music, but i have pretty good relative pitch coming from guitarplaying, but oh man i couldnt figure out those higher chords with attack, especially with no root key. Gets my respect, thats for sure.

[SherKhan-kuoq]

Ya I think someone already mentioned it but that Ab should be A for the first chord

[michaelnancyamsden]

Interesting ... no fascinating. Am semi retired MD who”gave up music” at college. Trying to find it again at 70 plus. Some I knew.... most is new. Main interest was classical and baroque music. Love your teaching! Thanks.

[wowerman]

Oh I wish someone taught me this 30 years ago when I was small.

As an actor, Dylan would fit the part of a "Sixth Sense" type movie.
