Ear training for the classic 1 6 2 5 progression

Learn to recognize melodies by ear: https://improviseforreal.com/products/ear-training-musical-creativity?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=5lmPD6r66Wk

This is a video for Improvise for Real students who want to understand and internalize the chord progression 1, 6-, 2-, 5D. First, we will talk about the role of each chord in the progression, and then we will practice ear training together with the Melody Paths exercise.

If you want to keep studying the 1 6 2 5 chord progression on your own, I suggest two activities:

1) Practice with IFR Jam Tracks Level 3: Lesson 8

Play and sing Melody Paths over jam tracks in different keys, and improvise freely with the seven notes of the major scale.

2) Practice with the playlist of songs with 1 6 2 5

Listen to the songs on the list and follow the chord changes, trying to feel all the different sensations we talked about in the video. It's important to hear the chord changes in the context of real music and in different styles. You can also sing and play Melody Paths over the songs on the playlist.

Here's the playlist:

Make the Melody Paths exercise part of your daily routine to keep improving your ear!

ABOUT MELODY PATHS:

Melody Paths is an exercise from the Improvise for Real method to help us internalize chord progressions. In the drawing, every column represents a chord in the progression, and the notes in the circles are the chord notes of each chord. In this exercise, I am connecting chord notes to create a melody across the progression. I try to make melodies that are quite linear, without doing big jumps. In the beginning, I start very simply, just choosing one note per chord. Later I spice it up by choosing sometimes two notes per chord. In this video I am only singing, but the ideal is to be singing and playing at the same time.
