Interval Ear Training: Aural Training Stage 3of5 (Guitar Lesson AU-103) How to play
-
0:10 - 0:12Hey, how you doing? Justin here.
-
0:12 - 0:15Welcome to aural training stage 3!
-
0:15 - 0:19Now, it's about to get
a little bit more difficult. -
0:19 - 0:21I kind of warned you
at the end of last lesson, -
0:21 - 0:23you need to make sure that
you've got those intervals, -
0:23 - 0:25the 2nd, 4th and 5th,
really comfy -
0:25 - 0:26before you get into these ones.
-
0:26 - 0:28These intervals are a little bit bigger.
-
0:28 - 0:33We're now checking out
the major 6th and the major 7th interval. -
0:33 - 0:35Now, not only are they a bit bigger,
-
0:35 - 0:38but there's a lot less
songs with these intervals -
0:38 - 0:40and they're a little harder to recognise.
-
0:40 - 0:42So it takes a bit more pracice.
-
0:42 - 0:43Now, if you haven't been doing so already,
-
0:43 - 0:46you really need to make sure that
you practice playing these intervals -
0:46 - 0:50and, excuse me, if you can
sing along with them as well. -
0:50 - 0:53There's something about singing
along with an interval -
0:53 - 0:56that helps you internalise the sound of it.
-
0:56 - 0:59You know, puts the vibrations that are
involved kind of in your body. -
0:59 - 1:01So it makes them easier to recognise.
-
1:01 - 1:04So, let's start off with
the major 6th interval. -
1:04 - 1:06The major 6th interval sounds like this:
-
1:06 - 1:11. . .
-
1:11 - 1:14It's not many songs that
have this major 6th sound. -
1:14 - 1:17The one that I think is probably
the most commonly known is My Way. -
1:17 - 1:23[and now, the end is near,
and so I've reached] -
1:23 - 1:26That part of the song is
jumping up a major 6th interval. -
1:26 - 1:33. . .
-
1:33 - 1:35Play it a lot of times,
practice singing along. -
1:35 - 1:37. . .
-
1:37 - 1:40Trying get that sound of
that interval into your head. -
1:40 - 1:41Now, the other interval
we're looking up today -
1:41 - 1:45(well actually we've got two more, one's
just so basic I kinda brush over it a lot) -
1:45 - 1:47the major 7th interval:
-
1:47 - 1:51. . .
-
1:51 - 1:55Now, I don't even know of any songs
that start with the major 7th interval. -
1:55 - 1:58It's kind of (plays),
it's a bit dissonant. -
1:58 - 2:00. . .
-
2:00 - 2:02There's a few that kind of
drop down to of those. -
2:02 - 2:04Somewhere Over The Rainbow
is the one that I always think of. -
2:04 - 2:09[Some-where, ov-]
That's it, that's the maj7th interval. -
2:09 - 2:11[Some-where]
-
2:11 - 2:14Now, that is the other interval
we're talking about today -
2:14 - 2:15which is an octave.
-
2:15 - 2:17. . .
-
2:17 - 2:18It's actually the same note,
-
2:18 - 2:23it's going form C (plays) right the way
up to another C. -
2:23 - 2:24All the way up the major scale.
-
2:24 - 2:26. . .
-
2:26 - 2:29Do-re-mi-fa-so-la-ti-do
-
2:29 - 2:31do-do
-
2:31 - 2:32It's going from do to do.
-
2:32 - 2:33That's called an octave.
-
2:33 - 2:36. . .
-
2:36 - 2:37Shouldn't have too much
trouble with that one. -
2:37 - 2:39. . .
-
2:39 - 2:39Major 7th
-
2:39 - 2:42. . .
-
2:42 - 2:44is an octave (plays)
-
2:44 - 2:46and then it drops down a semitone (plays).
-
2:46 - 2:48But you can practice singing it as well.
-
2:48 - 2:52Just go: (sings).
-
2:52 - 2:54Again, it's a good thing.
-
2:54 - 2:57It takes a little bit more practice
to sing these bigger intervals. -
2:57 - 2:58They're a little bit harder,
but don't, you know, -
2:58 - 3:00just cause it's a little bit difficult
don't let it put you off. -
3:00 - 3:02Just stick at it, takes a little bit
more practice - that's all. -
3:02 - 3:05. . .
-
3:05 - 3:09Other songs that actually are slightly cooler
one than Somewhere Over The Rainbow -
3:09 - 3:09is the Immigrant Song.
-
3:09 - 3:12. . .
-
3:12 - 3:12The Led Zeppelin.
-
3:12 - 3:15. . .
-
3:15 - 3:16There's the major 7th.
-
3:16 - 3:19It's going up an octave
then major 7th. -
3:19 - 3:24. . .
-
3:24 - 3:26Not that many songs
that use this interval. -
3:26 - 3:30So there are the ones to listen out for,
to get used to. -
3:30 - 3:36In some way they're easy to recognise
because they're so big -
3:36 - 3:38and because (plays) they're
kind of unique sounding. -
3:38 - 3:40. . .
-
3:40 - 3:41For now.
-
3:41 - 3:43Later on we're going to start adding in
other intervals around them -
3:43 - 3:45that kind of sound a bit similar.
-
3:45 - 3:47That gets a little bit tricky.
-
3:47 - 3:49So, the ones that you're
listening for now are: -
3:49 - 3:51. . .
-
3:51 - 3:53My Way - major 6th interval
-
3:53 - 3:56. . .
-
3:56 - 3:58We're after major 7th.
-
3:58 - 4:01. . .
-
4:01 - 4:04Also as well as having the Somewhere Over
The Rainbow and the Immigrants Song -
4:04 - 4:07I always think it's kind of,
it's pulling up a bit. -
4:07 - 4:10. . .
-
4:10 - 4:12So it's just going:
it's dragging up to the octave -
4:12 - 4:14. . .
-
4:14 - 4:17See if you can kind of
feel that as you play it. -
4:17 - 4:17Play it yourself
-
4:17 - 4:20. . .
-
4:20 - 4:22and feel that note, it's
kind of pulling you up there, -
4:22 - 4:24. . .
-
4:24 - 4:25wants to resolve.
-
4:25 - 4:27The reason is cause it's
quite dissonant (plays). -
4:27 - 4:29If you play those two notes together:
-
4:29 - 4:30. . .
-
4:30 - 4:34It's kind of, it's not out of tune,
it's dissonant (plays). -
4:34 - 4:37close together (plays).
-
4:37 - 4:38That's the major 7th.
-
4:38 - 4:40. . .
-
4:40 - 4:41And the octave.
-
4:41 - 4:43Somewhere over the rainbow
-
4:43 - 4:46. . .
-
4:46 - 4:48Same note.
-
4:48 - 4:50Ok, let me show you
how to play these intervals first, -
4:50 - 4:54of course if you practice playing them,
sing along and/or play them for your buddy -
4:54 - 4:58and/or play them to make your
own kind of aural test as well. -
4:58 - 5:00So let's get to a close up now
and have a look at that. -
5:01 - 5:04Ok, so here's the first one,
this is the major 6th interval. -
5:04 - 5:09. . .
-
5:09 - 5:12So this one's over two strings
and back one fret. -
5:12 - 5:20. . .
-
5:20 - 5:21That's the major 6th.
-
5:21 - 5:24. . .
-
5:24 - 5:25Now we want major 7th
-
5:25 - 5:27. . .
-
5:27 - 5:29which is two strings over
and one fret up. -
5:29 - 5:37. . .
-
5:37 - 5:39And we've also need to know octave
-
5:39 - 5:42. . .
-
5:42 - 5:45which is two strings over,
two frets up. -
5:45 - 5:48Also like a power chord (plays),
-
5:48 - 5:49if we played a regular power chord like that,
-
5:49 - 5:51that's where your little finger is,
it's on the octave. -
5:51 - 5:54So the power chord is
a fifth and an octave. -
5:54 - 6:01. . .
-
6:01 - 6:03Ok, don't forget of course that
all of these intervals shapes -
6:03 - 6:07are found on the cheat sheet on the web site,
so go and check that out. -
6:07 - 6:10It's time for our aural test!
-
6:10 - 6:13So, we're going to be,
in the first test, looking at: -
6:13 - 6:15major 6th, major 7th and ocatves only.
-
6:15 - 6:17There's going to be ten questions.
-
6:17 - 6:18Let's go!
-
6:18 - 6:21Each one is going to be played twice.
-
6:21 - 6:22Here we go!
First one: -
6:22 - 6:34. . .
-
6:34 - 6:36And here's question 2:
-
6:36 - 6:47. . .
-
6:47 - 6:48Question 3:
-
6:48 - 6:58. . .
-
6:58 - 6:59Question 4:
-
6:59 - 7:10. . .
-
7:10 - 7:11Question 5:
-
7:11 - 7:21. . .
-
7:21 - 7:22Question 6:
-
7:22 - 7:33. . .
-
7:33 - 7:35Question 7:
-
7:35 - 7:45. . .
-
7:45 - 7:46Question 8:
-
7:46 - 7:58. . .
-
7:58 - 7:59Question 9:
-
7:59 - 8:13. . .
-
8:13 - 8:15Question 10:
-
8:15 - 8:27. . .
-
8:27 - 8:29Ok, you might want to go and
check your answers for that, -
8:29 - 8:31make sure you're doin' okay,
-
8:31 - 8:33before we crack into 3B.
-
8:33 - 8:35We're now looking at:
-
8:35 - 8:38major 2nd, major 3rd,
perfect 4th, perfect 5th, -
8:38 - 8:42major 6th and major 7th
and octave -
8:42 - 8:45which is all the notes in the major scale.
-
8:45 - 8:47It's quite a lot.
-
8:47 - 8:49It's going to take a little bit of practice.
-
8:49 - 8:51Don't be too discouraged if you don't
get them all right straight away. -
8:51 - 8:55Maybe you do, maybe you've got
natural gift for hearing this stuff - -
8:55 - 8:57- excellent!
Really, really good! -
8:57 - 8:59Some poeple get this real quick,
-
8:59 - 9:00some people fight with it a little while,
-
9:00 - 9:02but everyone gets it in the end,
-
9:02 - 9:05just takes a bit of practice.
-
9:05 - 9:08Ok, here we go for 3B!
-
9:08 - 9:09Question 1:
-
9:09 - 9:20. . .
-
9:20 - 9:22Question 2:
-
9:22 - 9:34. . .
-
9:34 - 9:36Question 3:
-
9:36 - 9:47. . .
-
9:47 - 9:49Question 4:
-
9:49 - 10:02. . .
-
10:02 - 10:03Question 5:
-
10:03 - 10:13. . .
-
10:13 - 10:15Question 6:
-
10:15 - 10:27. . .
-
10:27 - 10:29Question 7:
-
10:29 - 10:39. . .
-
10:39 - 10:41Question 8:
-
10:41 - 10:52. . .
-
10:52 - 10:53Question 9:
-
10:53 - 11:05. . .
-
11:05 - 11:07And question 10:
-
11:07 - 11:21. . .
-
11:21 - 11:24Well, time to go and check your answers
now on the web site. -
11:24 - 11:26Hope that you've done well with that.
-
11:26 - 11:29Couple of little other little hints
for you that you might find helpful. -
11:29 - 11:31One: close your eyes.
-
11:31 - 11:35Generally, if you turn sight off,
hearing gets better. -
11:35 - 11:37So if you're doing interval ear training
-
11:37 - 11:40generally looking around the room
is not such a great thing. -
11:40 - 11:42You should just have your eyes closed.
-
11:42 - 11:45I find sometimes that if I'm doing
this kind of aural training -
11:45 - 11:48that closing my eyes and
imagining like a guitar neck -
11:48 - 11:52and trying to see where I put my
fingers to make that sound -
11:52 - 11:53can be quite helpful.
-
11:53 - 11:57You shouldn't be using a guitar
for this kind of interval training, -
11:57 - 11:59should just be using your ears.
-
11:59 - 12:01Using a guitar it's kind of cheating, you know,
-
12:01 - 12:03it makes it a little bit easier,
cause you can kind of go: -
12:03 - 12:06. . .
-
12:06 - 12:06Oh, it's that one!
-
12:06 - 12:08You know, and that's not really the point.
-
12:08 - 12:11The point is to really
fine-tune your ears now. -
12:11 - 12:13So, hopefully that was ok.
-
12:13 - 12:16That's a big step there,
to be able to do this level now -
12:16 - 12:19where you can do
all of the notes in C. -
12:19 - 12:21Make sure that you understand
where it come from and stuff, -
12:21 - 12:23that it's the scale,
practice playing it. -
12:23 - 12:25I can't recommend like...
now I'm going on about it a bit, -
12:25 - 12:29but there's a couple of singing excercises
in the aural training section of my web site -
12:29 - 12:31that really helpful for this
if you're struggling a bit. -
12:31 - 12:37So, hope that was fun
and hope you'll join me for stage 4 -
12:37 - 12:40where we start looking at
intervals that are non-diatonic, -
12:40 - 12:42that don't come from the major scale.
-
12:42 - 12:43See you again some time real soon.
-
12:43 - 12:44Bye-bye!
