All right, so
here's our next ear training exercise.
Actually it's really just a variation on
the last one we did which was, one, two,
one, three, one, four, and so on.
We're just gonna do the same sort
of pattern, but from the top down.
So, again just on your G string.
One, two, three, four,
five, six, seven, one.
Find the high one, which is on a fretted
instrument usually got a double dot or
some sort of marker for the 12th fret.
Which is an octave up
from the open string.
And what we're gonna do is
just go from the top down.
One, seven, one, six, one, five and
so on and then we'll come back up.
Now, in doing this it's really gonna
help you get the lay of the lay as far
as the scale.
And so for instance, if you're going
from one to three from the bottom
that's this far, it's just two steps.
But if you're going from the high one,
one, down to the three,
it's a much bigger interval.
But the three still has
the character of the three.
It still has that same personality,
whether you coming at it from below or
from above.
So, you wanna just use this
exercise to sort of reconcile
the personality of the note with
its position in the octave.
And whether it's big jump
from the top down and
a small one from the bottom up or
vice versa.
So here we go from the top.
[SOUND].
And again, if you don't find the note
right away, just do it again.
[MUSIC].
Come back up.
[MUSIC].
And once again, if you don't get it
right away like if you don't one two,
you know you hear a different note,
one six, find it.
And then just go back and
forth a couple times.
One, six, one, six,
until you're just nailing it.
Now, that repetition is just so important
for ingraining these patterns and
the sounds of the note in your brain.
And as you do that, you really get
tweet off to guess out of note.
You'll really hear it in your head,
very clearly.
And, you know, just the repetition,
you're burning new neural pathways.
So you're although,
you're drawing on sounds that you've
gotten intuitively just from
being around music since birth.
So again, it's way of kind of harnessing
and accessing the stuff you already hear.
And it's already just part of your
experience of music, possibly.
And making an accessible, when you're
learning songs and working with harmony.
And just kind of opened the door to all
sorts of fancier things down the line.
