LoG's Guitar Extravaganza

Thanks for stopping by everyone! I think this was a good idea as this video can be used as a super in-depth look on how I approach the basics of learning stuff by ear. I'll probably sneak some mandatory ear training into every stream from now on, but I won't walk you through the whole process like I did here. Will be fun! The entire stream is now chaptered out for your convenience, let me know if you have any questions!

My weak ear is undoubtedly the number one problem I must overcome. Without a strong ear, one cannot be a strong musician. Thanks for enumerating the reasons for developing the ears.

Jason Sheriff

Wow....theres some seriously good learnings packed into that session. Definitely enjoyed the information around the chord progressions.

Ahh nice. Yea that makes more sense!

So good! Relative pitch - IMHO - is better than perfect pitch. Everything I've read (See Oliver Sachs book, "Musicology") says that it's not uncommon for people with perfect pitch to have it start degrading (drift off the frequencies) around the age of 50 years old. Something that most of these folks are devastated by... For the rest of us mere mortals, this video is gold...thank you!
