CORRECTION- at 38:25 the check mark is correct, but the voiceover is incorrect. The chord is a minor 6/9. Thanks to Wendy Guler for spotting this. There is also a graphic missing for the major 9th chord - Maj9 should be 1-3-5-7-9 (I left out the 9.) I assure you that whoever is responsible for these errors will face the most severe punishment imaginable.

😊 heard this minor 6/9 ,hands free mode, driving into work this morning and thought I was losing it😧. Thanks for posting the correction and thanks for these videos. I'm at last productive driving into the office.🙏😊
@@sablobsimus I don’t know how it slipped past me. I’m still planning on clipping out that example and reposting, but UA-cam doesn’t seem to like duplicate content so I’m waiting a few months before switching the videos out. Glad it’s helping!
❤❤
Omg! How am I supposed to learn if y’all are making mistakes? …just kidding. I appreciate this - I’m so lost though. I want desperately to play the piano
they're never gonna let me have the aux again

Don’t worry everyone- I’ve settled the strings vs non-strings debate. On my videos from now on, I’ll be using an accordion that washed up in the ditch by my house. Enjoy!
😂
And here I was hoping it would be a kazoo.
I'm 35, never read, played, or understood music but i followed along quite easily. Very well put together, thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Why is this comment so funny
Thought I knew all my chords and was humbled. Thank you.
This was humbling for indeed, but I know what I need to work on 😢😊

I listened to a ton of videos, downloaded apps for games. No one helps me like this videos. I really hate it when people say major happy minor sad, but when they all play together they sound the same. After 5’ through this video i can spot out all for basic chords. Thank you dude
Glad to hear it’s working! Thanks a lot for watching and your kind words.
5 feet?
@@Speed001that notation is also used more minutes and “ is seconds. Weird huh
You are right ; staying with C will be better for us beginners to absorb. Thank you for teaching
C is definitely my “thinking key” for the piano, and once you know your scales it’s pretty easy to transpose to any other key.
in my experience in the academy, the teacher played different keys since the beginning.
You did a very job! Please don't give up!
Thank you so much for this. I'm struggling at level 9, still working on it!
Great content! Thanks! Very useful.
Really great work ! I am a drummer with a minimal one year at a concervatiry mallet training .
But ive played jazz with top leval musicians , some names that are recognisable , so , i hear these incredable chords on a regular basis.
This work will help me understand a lot of things better.
Made it the first 25min, now definitely time for a break. Great stuff, thanks for sharing!✨✨
I found this very insightful. I listened to it first through then ised my keyboard to practise. That’s all I needed.
Thank you. I can't afford music classes or courses so this channel as a whole is a gift. God bless you.
My pleasure! Glad you found my channel. It’s a shame so much of music education is locked behind such a high paywall.
@@joeluegersmusicacademy Jesus loves you ♥stay strong and keep going 💪
just discovered this site and jumped in at level 11. Loving it! Thanks Joe...
I was on a roll at the beginning, derailed near the end, but learned a BUNCH of new chords, even ones I was looking for forever!
This is exactly what i've been looking for! Awesome! Thank you!
Great! You might also be interested in the other videos in this series, which all follow basically the same format. I just released one on scales yesterday. ua-cam.com/play/PL40pFkWbVtdk0NVhK5V8dWM2W_-aXY918.html&si=FXEjNaX-nNHSgZwq
dude i was literally looking for a good chord ear training and i have been listening to your interval training for the last few weeks and this is amazing! thanks for dropping it!
Great! Up next is chord progressions! Might take a few weeks to finish.
@@joeluegersmusicacademy❤😊a
Please can you do this in the key of G
How has your ear training going?
Thanks a lot ! It's helpful !
awesome dude !! just can't thank you enough. !! a much needed harmonic tutorial VERY well presented clear simple non obtrusive. a GREAT help n Ear training !!!
Thanks for watching! This ear training is non-functional (doesn’t really relate to a key center.) If you’re interested in chord progressions, I started a series of videos here: ua-cam.com/play/PL40pFkWbVtdmIvdPv3Rv0sCui0oKQ-IX0.html&si=YXG6LixEzwBnsGdd
Great work - I’m going to make videos like this for Advanced Jazz and classical chords
This is very helpful, usually I’m so focused on finding the note when I play I don’t pay attention to the variation in sound. I was surprised by my ability to discriminate. Will check out your other videos. This is a great training to use hen I’m on the exercise bike. I remember things better when there is lots of blood going to the brain. So happy I found you!
Glad you’re here! It’s really powerful to put your passive time to use like that. I learned basic Spanish by listening to a podcast on my 15 minute drive to work every single day.
Esse exercício eh mto bom. Parabéns parceiro
I find the combination of chord name, sound played multiple times and learning to recognise it to be better than any tutorials I have seen about chords, and those did not even attempt to train my ear while at it. Might actually remember them after this, thank you
Yes there are a ton of great music theory channels, but honestly only about 1% of your music education should be spent listening to lectures. I try my best to create things that require active engagement.
Love it. Did all of them
I love this!!! ❤ Thank You!
You're so welcome!
I'm trying to get into ear training and your videos are SO useful

Awesome! Thank you!
Great work!! Really useful
Glad it was helpful!
I needed to comment…Your page is very resourceful and I enjoyed your hour long lesson!
Thanks so much! More to come.
This is awesome.. I am a newbie..just came across your channel..
Very very very very good!
Thank you very much!
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for this. It’s much appreciated
Glad it was helpful!
This is awesome 🤟🤠🤟 thx
Joe! I absolutely love your lessons! I injured both index fingers recently and can't play piano or guitar for about 8 weeks. I realized that was an opportunity to really hone my ear training skills...when fishermen can't fish they mend their nets. Your ear training lessons and tips are perfect for me. I play them while doing other things and it's definitely improving my skills! Thanks for all your time, effort and energy to produce quality products! Huge thanks!
Thanks for the comment! That’s a great idea. In my experience, a lot of musicians (guitarists especially) hyper focus on things like technique, but there’s just as much if not more that you can do away from an instrument that tends to get neglected.
@@joeluegersmusicacademy Guilty!! I doubt I would have gotten into ear training this much without the setback...and your excellent approach to teaching the nuances! Thanks again!
@@Zonewriter3I’m curious how you injured both of your index fingers in one injury
@@y2cringe While practicing spread voicing 10th chords and arpeggios with both hands, I started to notice some pain in the first digit of the index fingers. I went to the doctor and discovered that I have thinning cartilage and some arthritis in those joints. Dr. said I exasperated the the underlying condition by basically playing too much. I was given finger splints for both index fingers and some therapy. Dr. stated the injury was similar to carpal tunnel syndrome but for the fingers. The splints really help. I can practice for hours and when I'm not playing I wear the splints most of the time. The splints act like a 'retainer' to stabilize and hold the tendons and cartilage in place and limits too much bending when I'm not playing.
Thank you so much for this. Very helpful.
No problem! Make sure you checked my pinned comment- this is one tiny mistake in one of the levels on a question.
This is amazing!! It's so fun!
Thanks a lot!
Thank you for bringing this! ❤
You're so welcome!
Appreciate you for putting this together! I’m new to this channel so I’m not sure if you’ve done this already but if not it would be cool for a more advanced version of this with different inversions and new keys.
I don’t have that video done yet, but it’s on my list! It’s been very requested, so I’ll try to get to it soon. Thanks for watching.
You are the greatest. I love your videos. Keep up the good work it helps me a lot with keyboarding. I must learn them on the guitar as well. Awesome awesome job thank you I’m glad I found you.
Thanks so much! Glad you found my channel.
This video is a great help, thanks a lot!
Great!
Bruh, im so glad this video popped out on my yt page. This is just fun to do. I tend to scroll yt mindlessly, cuz i need to zone out quite often. With this i can zone out as well, but at least im learning useful stuff, and its satisfying as if that was just a fun game to play. Thank you. I surely will be checking out your other videos once i get bored with this one. Intervals would be great as a next step. Thanks for your hard work around those videos.
Glad you found it! I made a playlist of all of my similar stuff here: ua-cam.com/play/PL40pFkWbVtdlfiS6YGQ3zr9mQRj7naT19.html&si=QmyG8HrYwFZgt3XG
Started getting tricky for me on level 7 when 7th chords were introduced, ill defintely come back to that level and try again
Thank you very much! You are the greatest!
Glad it helped!
Thanks this is great for learning.
I'm so happy I did great up until Level 7, guess I'm better than I give myself credit lol, thanks for this!! Just found out your channel and as a beginner it's a pot of gold
Glad you found my channel! Honestly, the fact that any chord can be reduced down to major, minor, diminished, augmented, suspended, or altered means that as long as you get that part of it right you're technically not playing a "wrong" chord.
Don’t know how to follow this!??!
Are you referring to the video or to my above comment? The video is an exercise to help you hear different types of chords. In my comment, what I mean is that if a chord is written as Cmaj13, but you play a Cmaj7 or even a regular C major, it will likely sound perfectly fine. All chords can be reduced back to basic tonal qualities.@@mervromeo8193
I thought I was quite good till I tried this! Thanks.
Wow this is so hard ,I didn’t expect that.
I have just found you from suggested videos.
I watched the first 3 minutes of this video and have Subscribed and set the bell for all notifications, as I believe this is the start of a very productive relationship, for me at least! Although I will be recommending you on my channel, which is in it's infancy but you never know, I might be able to point people your way.
Back in 1973, I picked up my first guitar, at the age of 12 and I wrote my first song when I was 15. I have been playing to audiences since I was 13 but I am completely self-taught and at nearly 62 years old, I now want to find out all about the theory behind what I do and delve deeper into understanding what makes the stuff that comes out of my head work, technically.
Your content, layout and presentation are awesome.
Thank you for helping all of us on our musical journey, at whatever stage we're at, and I look forward to delving deeper into your lessons.
Thanks so much! I’m glad you found my channel. There is no escape! You might be interested in this playlist I made which features all of my ear training content listed in order of relative difficulty. The Ultimate Ear Training Playlist

@@joeluegersmusicacademy Awesome, thank you for that! 😁
One of the best videos on the net!
Thanks! 2nd place only to this: ua-cam.com/video/opiMHTaUEaA/v-deo.html
A lot of wild editing and layout choices made in the production of this video.
This is dope. Thank you for putting this together
Glad you liked it!
@@joeluegersmusicacademyQ: Do u think this training will help hear these chord types in their inversions or do u plan to make a video for these chords inverted (e.g. all of these chords in first inversion)?
@@BlessedOne686 The overall tonal quality of a chord will remain fairly similar regardless of voicing or inversion. Dominant 7th chords always sound a bit tense, for example. I’m planning on making an inversions video in October.
This is a really good lesson thanks! and reveals my weaknesses easily...Chords and sounds I need to work on. It would also be helpful to have a lesson starting is a different register as the chords are all from the same place....
For sure. I figured it would be overwhelming for some of if I included inversions and different roots all at once, so I intend to follow this one up with a more advanced video.
Fantastic work very useful for students and teachers. Congratulations
Thanks! I’m a K-5 general music teacher, as well as a private piano/guitar teacher. I started making these for my own students and didn’t expect a whole lot of other people to watch them. Glad they are of value!
An excellent tutorial. Thank you very much. 👍
Glad you find it helpful!
Wonderful vid
Nice!
I appreciate the amount of work you put in it as well
Thanks! Yes, editing this kind of made my head swim because it was so information dense.
@@joeluegersmusicacademyYes, nicely done
Hello, well explained, great job, this is what I need it, some hear training, I read and write music, but I've never had an hear training. Thank you. 🎼🎶🎹🎵🎸.
Awesome! Good luck!
Incredibly useful video. String sound is fine when using headphones, and it is very useful for intonation for singers and those training sustained sounds.
Yes- even a professional recording of a concert pianist doesn’t sound great through phone or built-in computer speakers.
Good lesson
Much harder than I thought it would be. Guess I’ll keep listening/practicing. Thanks.
Such a goated video
fantasic, im looking for this !
26:02 as soon as I heard this chord (Cadd9) I thought of Close to You - Carpenters, that chord will forever be just that song to me
Kudos Joe, I want to echo others' sentiments and express that I too am finding value in your content -- I just discovered it a day ago, but I'm hoping to find the discipline to go through the ear trainings repeatedly.
The video title advertises 1 hour of ear training, but I got much more than that because of having to pause to hum the notes and think about it, and repeating chapters frequently.
Funnily enough, currently my mental health treatment includes taking a medication periodically which has been shown to increase neuroplasticity for 3-7 days after each dose -- so I'm hoping I can leverage this to increase not just my music knowledge but also my music *sense*.
Note: At 38:25, the chord is Minor 6/9, and that is what the checkmark indicates on the screen, but the voiceover says "Major 6/9".
I agree with your decision to keep everything in C for this intro video. I too would eventually like to try my hand (ear?) at recognizing the chords in all different keys, but I think this was a good introduction as you said, to help get a sense of the sound and color and shape of the chords, before trying to modulate all over the place.
Plus it was difficult enough as it is :'D I'm fairly sure that if this video had included all that, my brain would have melted, which would be bad because I live in a rental and you know that stain's never coming out of the carpet.
I can assure you I'm not two kids in a trenchcoat; however, in the past I have been observed to be three raccoons in a trenchcoat (the one on top is Jerry), so I hope it's still OK to watch your videos.
Glad you found my channel! Welcome! Help yourself to whatever is in the fridge. That’s interesting about neuroplasticity. Kids naturally have this and we lose some of it as adults. I’ve taught diatonic intervals to elementary aged kids and they’ve soaked it right up, but I know a lot of people in college who couldn’t pass aural skills. Raccoons welcome.
I’m surprised you’re the first person to mention that mistake. The check mark is correct- the voiceover must have been a copy/paste error. I go through the video so many times that my attention starts to drift. Can’t believe I didn’t catch that!
Really appreciate your presentations . As a classically trained musucian piano and wwds i have been searching for ways to teach chords in lessons. Your structure is perfect!
Very useful thank you
This is where I realized I’m having a hard time with sus chords. Which explains a lot about my problems with playing by ear sometimes. I use them in my writing because I know how they work conceptually but for whatever reason my ears suck at identifying them. I’ve got more problems than that, but it’s definitely the most basic one that’s causing a gap for me.
You have to listen to the bass/root, or sus chords sound identical. Sus4 REALLY wants to resolve, sus2 much less so.
Sussy boy
That's an interesting tip about listening to the root and whether it wants to resolve... I'll try that! I'm up to level 10 so far and really enjoying the video - thank you! So far, sus2 and sus4 are the hardest for me to differentiate, when played as one chord. (When the chords are broken, everything's way easier!)
this is great, thanks mate. i’ve a lot of practice to do 😂
Happy to help!
thanks!
My teacher at UNO use to do a root note then a random Triad on top of it. That would be a dope next video
You play with Tank and the Bangas? Hell yes man
Incredible training! I'm glad all chords start with the root note...imagine all the inversions of these chords...pffieww
Thanks!
Great practice resource! I made it level 12 before I started falling apart! 😂
I think this is actually a very useful video for beginners/intermediates. And I appreciate the clear and to the point speaking.
i just uploaded a couple of videos about chord recognition, maybe not as advanced as this one, but i'm just shamefully but humbly mentioning it here. in case anybody is interested!
thanks again for this video, it inspires me to go train haha
Thanks! I feel like I’m better at creating exercises than actual lessons, so I definitely think my videos work best when combined with other channel’s content.
You are the savior, thank you infinitely
Any time!
it all went downhill at level 11. truly amazing video... shows me that there is still so so much to learn :)
Honestly, if you can distinguish between Major, minor, altered, dominant, or other, you’re 90% of the way to having all the practical skills a musician needs in most situations.
For me it went downhill after 7 😁..
Thanks so much.
Not only are your ear training vids super useful, they are fun and rewarding to do!
You are improving my skills so much and more quickly than I thought possible!!
Glad to hear it’s working! Thanks for the comment and for watching.
MAN, I've been looking for training videos like yours for a long time. I'll be using this every day now because while there are some good apps out there, none of them are handsfree so I can't practice in the car or while I do chores. Do you have any videos for identifying simple chord progressions? I'm trying to get better particularly at identifying the I chord in a progression. Can't wait to check out what else you have!
Great to hear these have been useful! I have a script written and music recorded for a chord progression video, but it might be a month or two until it comes up in my release schedule. Until then, there are several chord sections in this collection of shorts I released. Just use the timestamps. An Hour of Ear Training
ua-cam.com/video/tV1ASEgH54Y/v-deo.html
Hello, if your looking for apps, I use earmaster on mobile and pc, the exercises of intervals identification and chords identification are free !
@@Wild_Raphy I downloaded the app, but the exercises there, like in most apps, are not hands free. I have to look at the screen and tap answers, so I can't do it in the car or while I'm doing chores around the house. I'm looking for something like this where I can leave my phone in my pocket and run through exercises.
Got humbled real fast at lvl 8. Thanks
Thank you so much 🙏🤓🐣 it really helps, I'm getting better
You’re welcome! Thanks for watching.
Would love more cadence videos.
Your videos are a blessing. They are very well done, thank you so much for making them, I love your channel.

Thanks!
Thank you!!!
Thank you so much for this series! I'm trying to get learned perfect pitch, recognizing the notes of a chord, but always stumble on notes in the middle. It's much easier to distinguish the highest and lowest notes of a chord for me. Any advice?
You’re welcome! Try using a keyboard and learn the individual notes of some chords. Practice singing up and down the notes, then playing the whole chord while you sing the note in the middle. Also learn what the intervals are between the inner notes. Example- Major chord starts with a major 3rd.
this is very nice and useful. i don’t mind the strings that much but it would be better if they weren’t there
"whoa, you made it to the end!" hahaha hell yeah man! very useful stuff! thanks
I thought everyone would stop at the 11th chords!
Blessings man it was more than an earful me in ja, thank you mush me a go listen to more a your ting no mmmm😊
Thank you 🙏
You’re welcome 😊
Thanks so much!!!
No problem!
Damn that augmented and diminished section put me so on edge because I kept waiting for them be resolved
I will NEVER resolve them.
Graduated in 2020 with a bachelors degree - I REALLY enjoy solfège and always looked forward to my aural skills course. I would always zoom through listening exams because I’ve always had a phenomenal ear. However, We never touched on 9ths, 11ths, or 13ths. And for that matter, the only altered 7th chords we really focused on were the fully and half dimished. We never talked about minor major 7ths or any of the raised 7ths. So to get into all of that in this video was awesome! I only missed about 15 total in the entirety of the video, which, really surprised me and made myself pretty proud considering how quick I was able to pick up on chords I’ve never known how to listen for. The ones that stump me still are the minor major 7ths since they sound augmented thanks to the augmented 5th .. it really throws me around, and I also need to look at the raised 7th chords again. Lovely video
Thanks for watching! I probably have a similar education as yours. With any non-jazz degree, they tend to treat anything beyond a 7th chord as a non-chord tone, which works for classical music but doesn’t really align with the way people think of modern harmony.
@@joeluegersmusicacademythat’s why I didn’t agree with analyzing baroque music. How are you going to list all the chords used in a Bach fugue …. lol. But what I did was before any of the level’s where I didn’t know, I just solfeged them out. When I got the add 6’s and stuff, that helped a TON. That’s why I urge solfège all the time. If I didn’t practice it as much as I did, I know I wouldn’t have been able to do as well as I did.
👍👍👍excellent sir..
Thanks!
Thanls for adding mpre my knowledge in key of C family chords
No problem! Take the scale formulas listed and apply them to any major scale to make every other possible chord.
So glad I found this. Been a musician for a long time, with a half decent ear. Time to up my game!
At first I wished you would play chords with different roots. The first half dozen lessons are no challenge. I'm sure you considered this, and the different potential levels of users. But, I think you made the better choice for this training, especially as it gets in the higher lessons. Keep it basic. Maybe you could make advanced lessons jumping around with different chord roots - and inversions! Determining chords in unusual - and missing note - inversions is often a difficult mental puzzle for me. There must be some fine points in how to learn to determine, or hear, tricky voicings that I'd love to know about.
Btw, easy subscribe. I'll be spending good amounts of time on this channel. Thanks for the inspiration. Great service you are providing.
Thanks so much! I’ll definitely have an advanced version of this in the future. For now, you might be interested in a playlist I made with all of my ear training content: The Ultimate Ear Training Playlist

Thank you so much for this( definitely subscribing👌)...
First time here but the strings in the background makes it😢😢.. ..however, Love your style of teaching😊
Thanks! Half of people like the strings, half don’t. It helps with the sustain to teach you the tonal quality of the chord, but it can get grating after a while. I’ll probably cut it in the future.
@@joeluegersmusicacademyplease keep the strings! It is great for singers and intonation practice.
Thank you!
Thanks for watching!
super!
