Context is the key to success with Key Note Recognition Jazz Guitar Ear Training.

If we look at the bigger picture Key Note Recognition is just another way to do “key center” based ear training. BUT the important thing to start realizing with ear training is you need to do it in many different contexts so that your mind can develop a well rounded ear training sense. This is also why you will notice we have so many differing types of ear training products. We are trying to give your ear training in as many contexts as possible to help your mind see the bigger picture.

Key Note Recognition contains many levels

The Key Note Recognition series gives you many levels using different instruments and ensemble combinations. This holistic approach helps a musician developed the skills to do your training in real time with real music. It is recommended that you work with the Key Note Recognition courses in the following order:

• Key Note Recognition Voice Ear Training
• Key Note Recognition Piano Ear Training
• Key Note Recognition Organ Ear Training
• Key Note Recognition Jazz Guitar Ear Training

Each volume listed above gets progressively harder. The main factor in it’s difficulty is what chord progression or combination of notes that are used to create the key center. For instance with the Key Note Recognition Voice triads are used to create the key center while the Key Note Recognition Jazz Piano uses seventh chords, Key Note Recognition Organ uses seventh chords with added tensions and finally the Key Note Recognition with Jazz Guitar uses seventh chords with many tensions. If you are more advanced musician who has experience hearing key centers formed the seventh chords then please check the example MP3s found on each page of this series to see which level is appropriate.

To play “by ear” a musician must first sense the key of a chord or chord progression.

You must also be able to sense key modulations in order to follow chord progressions that change key. The exercise found in this book is crucial to developing these skills.

Imagine being able to know the key of a song by playing one note on your instrument.

Key Note Recognition will give you the power to follow unfamiliar chord changes and get a quick sense of where keys are changing. This is the first step in developing:

• The ability to follow complicated chord changes.
• The foresight to make informed scale choices.

If you are having a problem following chords, chord progressions or unsure what scale to use by ear, then Key Note Recognition will help you to start solving these problems.

Organize and remember sound based on how you hear it

Organizing and remembering sound based on how you hear it is the real goal of any serious musician. Key Note Recognition brings you another step in this process of gaining that ability. Stop basing your playing on non-musical distinctions such as instrument fingerings, and move more toward remembering and Jazz Guitar sound based on how you hear it.

A deeper understanding of music

Reacting to music based on how your hear gives you a deeper understanding of, and connection to music. This will also help you to store and retrieve music in your mind from a much more musical place.

What people are saying

• I’m liking this new approach to keynote recognition. I appreciate the fact that each volume gets progressively harder. For instance, keynote recognition voice just has simple triads for the cadence while keynote recognition Jazz Guitar uses typical seventh chords. I’m finding this change from the ear training one note books to the keynote recognition to be quite difficult. I also like the fact that there’s multiple levels and speeds of the exercise and different octaves used as the keynote. Personally I have a particular problem with the low register. I’m looking forward to each new volume as it was released. T. Frank.
• I’ve long-awaited muse-eek.com to put out an ear training product using an Jazz Guitar sound. For some reason I find my aural comprehension skills are much weaker when an Jazz Guitar is used. This keynote recognition volume is already helping me to identify my problem areas. I think it’s great that keynote recognition has been extended to include all these different instruments. T. Wes.
• I was stuck in Key Note Recognition for almost a year. Let me tell you this wasn’t fun. Bruce kept my spirits up with the emails but some days where pretty rough. I’m glad I stuck it out I passed on to 2 Note Ear Training a few months back and feel a real sense of accomplishment. All my band members have said they feel the ear training really has made a difference in my playing with them. What is cool is it’s not coming from a conscious place, I’m just playing and for some reason I just making better musical choices. I’m assuming it’s the ear training that the only thing I’m really practicing consistently. P. Jacobson.
