WEBVTT 00:00:09.923 --> 00:00:11.642 Hi, how're you doing? Justin here. 00:00:11.642 --> 00:00:14.487 Welcome to Aural Training Stage 2. 00:00:14.487 --> 00:00:19.568 In this lesson we're going to be looking at the Major 2nd and Major 3rd intervals. 00:00:19.568 --> 00:00:22.343 We'll talk about the song references, we'll do a little test on them. 00:00:22.343 --> 00:00:25.188 And then we're going to mix them in with the intervals that we've looked at before, 00:00:25.188 --> 00:00:26.951 which is the intervals of the 4th and the 5th. 00:00:26.951 --> 00:00:29.024 We'll do a little test to see how you're getting on. 00:00:29.024 --> 00:00:30.559 So, let's get started. 00:00:30.559 --> 00:00:34.941 The interval of a Major 2nd is the second note of the scale. 00:00:34.941 --> 00:00:38.023 Of course. (plays) Sounds like that. 00:00:38.023 --> 00:00:40.811 And it is the beginning of either Happy Birthday 00:00:40.811 --> 00:00:44.094 . . . 00:00:44.094 --> 00:00:45.508 or Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer. 00:00:45.508 --> 00:00:50.531 . . . 00:00:50.531 --> 00:00:51.968 It's also the beginning of the scale. 00:00:51.968 --> 00:00:55.100 . . . 00:00:55.100 --> 00:00:57.600 Major Scale. A scale. The Major Scale specifically. 00:00:57.600 --> 00:01:04.100 So what we're listening for now, (plays) practicing singing along is a really good idea. 00:01:04.100 --> 00:01:06.139 . . . 00:01:06.139 --> 00:01:08.179 Especially if you're bed-rooming, and no one else is listening. 00:01:08.179 --> 00:01:10.751 No one'll really mind, you might not be able to do it on the train. 00:01:10.751 --> 00:01:13.554 It's because you'll probably feel a little bit stupid. 00:01:13.554 --> 00:01:15.566 OK, thats a Major 2nd. 00:01:15.566 --> 00:01:17.423 Next we're looking at Major 3rd. 00:01:17.423 --> 00:01:19.813 . . . 00:01:19.813 --> 00:01:21.756 The one I always think of for this, I don't know why, 00:01:21.756 --> 00:01:24.670 there's other songs as well, on the website, but the one I think of is, 00:01:24.670 --> 00:01:26.380 Oh When the Saints Go Marching In. 00:01:26.380 --> 00:01:33.610 . . . 00:01:33.610 --> 00:01:34.991 Major 3rd. 00:01:34.991 --> 00:01:40.799 . . . 00:01:40.799 --> 00:01:42.370 OK so, what we're going to be doing now. 00:01:42.370 --> 00:01:45.407 is trying to listen out to those intervals really closely. 00:01:45.407 --> 00:01:47.474 First of all, before I do a little test with those, 00:01:47.474 --> 00:01:50.198 I'm going to show them to you in case you want to play you know, 00:01:50.198 --> 00:01:53.504 testing your jam buddy, or you want to be able to play the intervals yourself. 00:01:53.504 --> 00:01:55.035 So let's go to a quick close up. 00:01:56.281 --> 00:02:02.068 OK, the interval of a Major 2nd, (plays) just two frets higher on the same string. 00:02:02.068 --> 00:02:03.867 . . . 00:02:03.867 --> 00:02:05.236 Works on any string this one. 00:02:05.236 --> 00:02:08.126 . . . 00:02:08.126 --> 00:02:09.401 Doesn't matter, it's just two frets higher. 00:02:09.401 --> 00:02:11.613 . . . 00:02:11.613 --> 00:02:17.693 And the interval of a Major 3rd Is either (plays) I always think of it like this, 00:02:17.693 --> 00:02:20.023 there's another way of doing it, but let's just do this one for now. 00:02:20.023 --> 00:02:22.576 So you're going to start of with your 2nd finger on the Root note, 00:02:22.576 --> 00:02:24.369 and it's one fret back on the next string. 00:02:24.369 --> 00:02:27.273 . . . 00:02:27.273 --> 00:02:28.638 Again you could move it around. 00:02:28.638 --> 00:02:33.767 . . . 00:02:33.767 --> 00:02:37.206 Doesn't matter where you move it to, that's the shape. 00:02:37.206 --> 00:02:40.501 Remember that all of the shapes I'm giving you are also found on the website. 00:02:40.501 --> 00:02:42.762 So if you want, like a little reference page or whatever, 00:02:42.762 --> 00:02:45.672 when you're testing your mate, then that would be a really good thing to print out for yourself. 00:02:45.672 --> 00:02:48.272 It's available as a PDF, go and download that now. 00:02:48.272 --> 00:02:51.075 OK, we're ready for a test. 00:02:51.075 --> 00:02:55.755 So in this test we're just going to be looking at Major 2nd's and Major 3rds. 00:02:55.755 --> 00:02:57.537 So you could write just a 2 or a 3. 00:02:57.537 --> 00:03:01.737 So it's going to be 10 questions. So you might want to write down 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10. 00:03:01.737 --> 00:03:04.318 In a little column, and let's get going. 00:03:04.318 --> 00:03:08.687 This time I'm only going to play each interval for you twice. 00:03:08.687 --> 00:03:11.948 Last time it was three times. We're going to be just doing it two now. 00:03:11.948 --> 00:03:15.121 So listen closely. If you need to, pause. 00:03:15.121 --> 00:03:19.772 But try not to. Try and just keep up with what I'm doing at And write down what you think. 00:03:19.772 --> 00:03:25.180 A little hint that's quite useful. Often the first thing that you think it is, is correct. 00:03:25.180 --> 00:03:28.656 I used to do aural training as a teacher at the Guitar Institute. 00:03:28.656 --> 00:03:30.641 And the amount of times when we did tests and stuff 00:03:30.641 --> 00:03:32.713 that somebody would write down the correct answer, 00:03:32.713 --> 00:03:36.618 and then scribble it out and write the wrong answer next to it, was really often. 00:03:36.618 --> 00:03:39.715 I'd say probably half of the time somebody had scribbled one out, 00:03:39.715 --> 00:03:41.445 and then written something else, 00:03:41.445 --> 00:03:43.180 the one that they scribbled out was the right one. 00:03:43.180 --> 00:03:47.699 A little bit of the process of learning this is to believe in your instinct a little bit. 00:03:47.699 --> 00:03:49.718 To try and really feel the rhythm. 00:03:49.718 --> 00:03:52.035 Have played them, you know just playing them as I'm showing you, 00:03:52.035 --> 00:03:55.579 is a really good way of kind of internalising that interval. 00:03:55.579 --> 00:03:58.086 It's really good practice this stuff, so stick at it. 00:03:58.086 --> 00:04:01.263 Here we go, here's your first test. 00:04:01.263 --> 00:04:03.982 This is Major 2nd and Major 3rd intervals. 00:04:03.982 --> 00:04:06.531 Here we go, here's the first interval. 00:04:06.531 --> 00:04:18.142 . . . 00:04:18.142 --> 00:04:20.565 Here's the second interval. 00:04:20.565 --> 00:04:31.729 . . . 00:04:31.729 --> 00:04:33.633 Here's the third interval. 00:04:33.633 --> 00:04:43.109 . . . 00:04:43.109 --> 00:04:45.356 Here's the fourth interval. 00:04:45.356 --> 00:04:54.424 . . . 00:04:54.424 --> 00:04:55.830 Here's the fifth interval. 00:04:55.830 --> 00:05:07.058 . . . 00:05:07.058 --> 00:05:08.830 And here's the sixth. 00:05:08.830 --> 00:05:19.935 . . . 00:05:19.935 --> 00:05:21.481 Question number seven. 00:05:21.481 --> 00:05:30.987 . . . 00:05:30.987 --> 00:05:32.331 Question number eight. 00:05:32.331 --> 00:05:42.147 . . . 00:05:42.147 --> 00:05:44.146 Question number nine. 00:05:44.146 --> 00:05:53.058 . . . 00:05:53.058 --> 00:05:55.003 And question number ten. 00:05:55.003 --> 00:06:07.102 . . . 00:06:07.102 --> 00:06:12.611 OK That was Quiz 2A where we just had Major 2nd and Major 3rd. 00:06:13.702 --> 00:06:16.671 Now we're going to do a proper one, which is going to include 00:06:16.671 --> 00:06:21.114 Major 2nd, Major 3rd, Perfect 4th and Perfect 5th. 00:06:21.114 --> 00:06:24.867 In any order, 10 questions, write down your little column now. 00:06:24.867 --> 00:06:27.876 Get ready to go, I'm going to be playing each interval twice. 00:06:27.876 --> 00:06:30.987 Let's get going, here we go. Question 1. 00:06:30.987 --> 00:06:43.588 . . . 00:06:43.588 --> 00:06:44.672 Question 2. 00:06:44.672 --> 00:06:55.275 . . . 00:06:55.275 --> 00:06:56.471 Question 3. 00:06:56.471 --> 00:07:08.458 . . . 00:07:08.458 --> 00:07:09.789 Question 4. 00:07:09.789 --> 00:07:20.821 . . . 00:07:20.821 --> 00:07:22.664 Question 5. 00:07:22.664 --> 00:07:34.677 . . . 00:07:34.677 --> 00:07:36.037 Question 6. 00:07:36.037 --> 00:07:46.893 . . . 00:07:46.893 --> 00:07:48.155 Question 7. 00:07:48.155 --> 00:08:00.474 . . . 00:08:00.474 --> 00:08:02.558 Question 8. 00:08:02.558 --> 00:08:13.165 . . . 00:08:13.165 --> 00:08:14.356 Question 9. 00:08:14.356 --> 00:08:24.350 . . . 00:08:24.350 --> 00:08:26.093 And question 10. NOTE Paragraph 00:08:26.093 --> 00:08:38.938 . . . 00:08:38.938 --> 00:08:42.662 Well there you have it, time to go and check your answers now on the website. 00:08:42.662 --> 00:08:51.662 Hope you're getting a good percentage wrong. (laughs) 00:08:51.662 --> 00:08:55.171 Well, there you have it, that's the end of the quizz for today. 00:08:55.171 --> 00:08:57.235 Time to go and check your answers on the website. 00:08:57.235 --> 00:08:59.339 Hope you're getting most of them right. 00:08:59.339 --> 00:09:03.967 If there are any intervals that you find you're getting wrong particularly more than others, 00:09:03.967 --> 00:09:07.370 then it might be worth playing those ones a few extra times, 00:09:07.370 --> 00:09:11.212 you know, play them on the guitar, sing along with it if you can, 00:09:11.212 --> 00:09:14.232 that's a really good way, make sure you think of the song interval that relates 00:09:14.232 --> 00:09:17.431 to the interval as well. That's a really good idea. 00:09:18.554 --> 00:09:20.732 Shouldn't be causing you too many problems yet. 00:09:20.732 --> 00:09:22.286 It's gonna get a little bit fun later on. 00:09:22.286 --> 00:09:25.164 So make sure you get these basic ones nice and solid. 00:09:25.164 --> 00:09:26.917 Plenty of practice. That's the way to go. 00:09:26.917 --> 00:09:31.606 Have fun with those. See you for some more training very soon. Bye bye.
