Have You Tried Ear Training But Feel Stuck
And Don't Know What To Do?
- Have you spent hours trying to find the best way to train your ear?
- Have you wasted time with YouTube videos and apps with no progress to show for it?
- Do you want to start training your ear but have no idea where to start?
- Are you finally ready to take the next step to become a better musician by getting the ear training help you need?
If you answered yes to any of the questions above, you're in the right place.
I have found five significant reasons why other ear training websites, apps, and courses don't work and cause guitar players to get stuck.
They teach ear training in isolation.
Almost everyone teaches ear training by making you listen to notes and chords in isolation and try to identify them. The problem with this is this isn't how music works.
In music, nothing is played in isolation, so why would you want to train your ear this way? You need to train your ear in a way that gets you ready for real musical situations.
They don't show you how to apply what you hear to your guitar.
This is a big missing piece. Most try to show you how to identify different notes and chords, but they never show how to use that skill in your playing. You deserve to know how ear training applies to soloing, songwriting, rhythm playing, improvising, or whatever is important to you.
Everyone teaches ear training in a linear way. 
Aural skills are usually taught in a linear, step-by-step way. And to most, this sounds like the best way to do it. You learn one skill, and you stay there until you are ready for the next skill.
The problem with this is it's boring, frustrating, and hard to stick to. The best way to develop your ear is to build up multiple skills simultaneously. You progress faster, have more fun, and look forward to training your ear.
Relating songs to intervals.
A common way to memorize different intervals is to relate them to songs. For instance, if you play the 1st note of a scale and then the 5th, it will sound like Star Wars. So every time you hear Star Wars, you know it is the 5th.
The main problem with this is the 5th will only sound this way when played in isolation, after the one, and with that general rhythm. It won't sound like that when you hear it applied in music. The other issue is do you really want to be humming Star Wars when you are songwriting or transcribing a song?
No one teaches how to identify chords and notes through emotions.
In music, everything you hear expresses something. Identifying chord progressions and notes based on emotion is key. This allows you to connect deeper to what you are hearing and playing and more accurately identify what you are hearing.
If you want to learn how to develop a highly trained ear the same way the pros do, you have come to the right place.
Almost every guitar player feels lost when they want to start ear training.
