Good to know that you also relate to sound via key. Charlie Banacos called this Contextual Ear Training. Too many people get all obsessed with intervals, but relating sound to a tonal center allows us to hear how music works from the ground up.
Wow that was exactly what I needed, been thinking about the best way to train my ear over the past few days and then out of the blue I find your video. It’s perfect and has very useful exercises and advice
Love your videos! can please please please let us know how you use the solfege des solfege book? I bought the book from amazon and I'm not sure if I should perfect an exercise before I continue or do one exercise each day regardless of how I did on the previous exercise
Great video. Just one question. When you were changing chords (C, Em, F...) were you feeling the notes in relation to C or in relation to the root of the new chord (E, F...)? I can sing and feel all the tones against a static root but I find it difficult to feel the notes when changing the root and, in the case of diatonic chords, I would keep in my head the C for reference when singing. If there is a modulation, then I have to take some seconds to re-arrange all the notes in my head. Hope that makes sense. Thanks, Rotem!
You just need to practice holding on to the original key with your inner ear. Takes practice. Watch what Rotem does here. Sing the C bass note against the other chords. Most of the "modulations" that we see in jazz are actually brief tonicizations to add interest, travel, and tension to the original key. The more you can hear everything related to one key, the better. Even for tunes like "Body and Soul" or "Have You Met Miss Jones", hearing the original key in your head while you play the bridge can help you land more securely at the beginning of that last A section. Melodies, even bebop, are written with a tonality in mind. I'd argue that the only true modulations happen in long form standards, freeform, and classical music. Use your voice to train your sense of key.
hello cool man, I love your guitar playing and everything you do, I'm a big fan, but what I always wanted to say is the guitar sound .... is so undifferentiated that many tones are often blurred, that can be wanted, but for me, especially in your tutorials, making it difficult to follow you. Please do not take this as a criticism but as a suggestion to make your tutorials even more tangible. I thank you so much for your music and your work. love greetings Andhel

So nice!! The idea to link melodies to the number system is going to change my ears!! Thank you!

15:38 "But now that I don't necessarily have a piano..." We can see a piano behind you Rotem lol
Thanks a lot, Rotem! I enjoy your Video lessons very much. Great approach to teaching: passionate, humble, well-meaning and motivating!
Great exercises!
thanks man!
Loved your recent collab with Paul
Please keep up making guitar lesson videos!!
I hit that like button before the video started
Just discovered your channel. Some awesome stuff you have going on here :)
whats the base of the guitar?
is it acoustic?
The last exercise especially looks really fun, identifying notes in the scale and also accidentally building some melodies which can be used later 🙂

Looking forward to the new album
Do you think of solfege while improvising?
