Yeah, but my problem is if someone asked me if it is a perfect fourth or a fifth being played I don't know the answer because it sounds both like powerchord... Can you tell me how to hear which intervall is played??? If you recognise a major third interval, and a tritone (tritonus), you can basically tell that the perfect fourth is in the middle of the two. I think you need to use your voice and get used to the leap in a perfect fourth interval. Just like some singers practise singing arpeggios, you should do the same either by ear or voice (or guitar) for the minor third, tritone and perfect fifth, then maybe you can tell the difference more easily. What also works is singing the major scale in your head beginning with the root note, basically see which number the note you hear lands on. If you learn to recognise the unresolved sound of a sus4 chord, you can also distinguish more easily. Hope some of this helps, and... Good luck This post has been edited by Alexiaden93: Jul 13 2010, 12:07 PM -------------------- My YouTube Channel

Harmonic way of playing intervals could be a bit harder to identify especially perfect 4th and perfect 5th. I always sing in my head "Here comes the bride" for perfect 4th or "Star wars" main theme for perfect 5th. Top Gun theme also helps for perfect 5th...
Check out my Interval series, you will see how I did both harmonic and melodic approach for those intervals, it should help you unlock the sound a bit more. Perfect 4th LESSON Perfect 5th LESSON |

Perfect 4th LESSON Perfect 5th LESSON again...this only works out if the intervalls are NOT played at the same time, doesn t it?. You can't sing two notes at the same time...

Dude, start playing piano if you aren't already, get familiar with the sound of a major chord C E G, then try playing a sus4, C F G. It will sound unresolved. Likewise, when you have a perfect fourth interval C F, it will try to creep down one semitone to get a major third C E, to resolve. Once you get this you will never have a problem with distinguishing between a perfect 4th and 5th. -------------------- My YouTube Channel

You can try focusing on playing perfect fourth and fifth intervals all over the neck. Try with distortion, as you will hear harmonics that will help you differentiate the two. In time, memory for each will develop don't worry. Just takes time.
