I understand patterns.Ī couple dozen songs may follow the same exact patterns - so to a regular person, they think I know 36 songs but all I’m doing is playing the same pattern. I always get asked, “How do you memorize thousands of songs?” Tip #2: Master the patterns rather than memorizing stuff Chords create progressions -and- progressions ultimately create the songs you hear! Understanding “how” and “why” is the difference between an average musician and a professional musician.
Chord progressions are no more than chords going from one to the other… a series of chords played one after the other).Īs you’ll learn in “ The Secrets to Playing Piano by Ear,” scales basically create chords. These are the combined sounds you hear in songs. Chords are three or more notes played at the same time. They are the basis of what we call “major keys” and everything is based on them. (By the way, major scales are a series of seven unique notes played one after the other. At least if you can help it.īelieve it or not, understanding how scales are formed and how they create chords and progressions is one of the most important things you can learn. While there are a lot of “gifted” and talented musicians out there that have no idea what they are playing (…they just play by listening), this is not the way you want to be. One of the biggest myths is that you don’t have to understand music to play by ear.
