Feb 20 2008, 05:41 PM	GMC:er Posts: 2 Joined: 26-January 08	Whats up everybody, this is my first post so I will introduce myself first. My name is Richard, I'm 18 and live in Houston, Texas. I've been lurking the forums for a couple months and been playing for little over a year now with great success. On to the Topic: Ear Training Lately, I have understood the value and importance of Ear Training relating to guitar, but I am somewhat lost. I have been going to eartrainer.com and practicing recognizing intervals and notes. I have also been practicing more rhythm guitar and chords and such, which I believe help with the ears. So my question to you GMC'ers, what components of ear training are most important and what techniques/programs/websites have improved your ears? Ideally, I would like to essentially have perfect pitch and know what key any song is in, and also be able to transcribe music. SHARE YOUR SECRETS.

I started using Earmaster Pro recently which really helped me better develop abilities in the ear training area, its paid though you may want to check it out - theres probably a demo somewhere to try for free, but I started using it because someone mentioned it on here (think it was DeepRoots) and its a neat little program!

Also I've developed more ear practicing chords that anything other. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

Next, gradually increase the tempo. Eventually you'll be flailing like a madman.

Singing will also help you to transcribe music by ear more easily, you hear the note,you sing it and then you locate it on fretboard. After some while you'll be able to "visualize" almost everything you hear and to play it right away. So once more,sing!! You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.
