Egads. ToneGym uses a pitch on every answer--no thanks! Not sure how that wouldn't be an obvious problem to a company providing ear training tools.

0 BS on this. I get to know it for you, use the free version for almost a year (which have intervals, chord progression and one more that I cannot remember now). Use it every day, stick with it and made amazing progress. Now I have for an year the pay version and use it every day. What did for me (not only the app but being constant every day) was AMAZING. I never be most sharp on music and keep growing every day. Thank you very much David, is really a one of a kind channel. Best regards from Argentina!

Can you do something similar with zep?

Happiness is a new David Bennett Beatles posting. A brilliant concept and takes my love of Beatles music to a whole new level of understanding.

Fantastic! This should be included in any music education curriculum haha. Here's some more intervals that I would love to see in a sequel video: In Major keys: bII: Do You Want To Know A Secret, Things We Said Today Vm: Strawberry Fields VI: Strawberry Fields bVI: Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds VIIm: Yesterday VII: Sexy Sadie, I'm So Tired In Minor keys: I: I Am The Walrus (borrowed major tonic in minor key) IIdim: You Never Give Me Your Money (half diminished instead) bII: I'm Only Sleeping VIm: Come Together, Penny Lane bVIIm: Glass Onion

Well reasoned list. Thnx

The thing about "For No One" is that at the very end, it DOESN'T resolve. If you listen to the first times Paul sings "...cried for no one, a love that should have lasted years", you'll hear (what I now know to be) the G sus 4 and G but then you hear another chord which leads into the next line he sings. But the last time, you hear the G sus 4, the G, and then...fadeout. Which, given the words and the overall "feel" of the song, is a great effect. But it still seems like it's left hanging. Which might very well have been the idea...

I think it would be helpful to have a "different levels of ear training" video or something similar. A lot of times it's easy to hear chords played on a piano with all the intervals clearly audible, but in some songs, different instruments are playing different notes of the chord or the tones can get quite muddy. Going through that from easy to difficult would be interesting

This is great! Really brings home how they were NOT a 3-chord group, even from the start.

I''ve been watching, subscribed and somehat avid about this. Musician for 40+ years on the side, been retired as a fireman for 4 years- had to afford my extravagant lifestyle as a musician, nevermind the family. I am hampered by a stroke-and don't play every day now, which is a bummer, I hope to return to my previous level, but it's difficult. Self taught through study and been the beneficiary of many hugely qualified along the way, and this includes yourself. This is the area where I fall short, the recognition of the theory- which is, as you so rightly say- a very important aspect of it all. As I say, it's the crux of the biscuit. After so much time, I recognize several changes, though not all. Tone deaf, poor singing voice- I'd managed some proficiency on guitar. As I could read I'd learned some cool pieces, Stars n Stripes Forever, Mozarts 40th, Eric Johnson songs etc. The Beatles are among what I am very familiar with, so this struck me as delightfull, and a cool way of learning. Previously I'd hear a change and equate it to, say, the b2nd in Misirlou, or Hey Joe by Deep Purple (has a very Spanish intro ) so it must go like... This solidified it for me very nicely and more comprehensively covers most every change, so Thank You. Feel free to go in depth, with more examples to identify, and changes in minor keyed Beatles songs, for example. Advanced content, well explained- is appreciated. Best of luck to you with the channel and in being a musican. In life, too ! Say Hey when you come thru Texas, amigo. Now then, where is that confounded bridge ?

And THIS folks, is why the Beatles were the best group ever. Period. You put on ANY Beatles album, and you've got a lesson in the greatest music ever made.

Thanks David! As always, brilliant!

This is so great. Thanks for this amazing video! Learned so much from it! ❤

This is a perfect video and perfect band for it! Thanks a lot for sharing David!

You rock David! Thank you.

Very inspiring video David. This gives me motivation to write music, with more understanding.

What an excellent approach. Very helpful to hear what you are talking about in relation to a song I know. Thanks.

Ow! One of the best videos of music theory in KZread! Others "Beatles' chords" that I remember: The Eadd9 in the Paul's part of "A Day in the Life", The E7b9 in "I Want You" III7 in "All You Need is Love" G#/A# in "The Long and Winding Road"

When I started to play the guitar 10 years ago, almost all of what I listened to and practiced along (nearly on a daily basis) were Beatles songs - they truly are excellent musical material ^^!

Thank you kindly David! Ive been on this music theory journey for years and your videos have added such fun structure to my learning. Blessings!

Great David. Thanks❤ for

Yes David please do it with every band !!! that is so usefull Thanks a lot for everything you do :) love your videos

Thanks, David.

I think an ear training video with Queen songs would be awesome

This is a very clever video. You're a genius!

Great video! Also love the Beatles very much and wanted this particular video to be made by you )

Thanks Mate, loved it

I’m a bit of a novice and this video was so instructive. Best ear tracing I’ve seen (for me)

Love this chord progression videos, please give us more!

This video is heaven sent. I have a college audition for Shenandoah next Saturday and ear training is part of it

Man you are simply fantastic. I love how you appreciate actual MUSIC instead of simply technical ability like most KZreadrs involved in music, simply by your taste in artists: the Beatles and Radiohead, for example

15:46 made me think of one of the pieces of the abbey road medley: "once there was a way... to get back homeward..."

Loved it!! Cheers

I’m so glad that the KZread algorithm has put you on my feed.

thats brilliant idea for series

Anything Beatles related and I'm all in. Great job explaining all the chord variations....

Really informative, thanks David!

Thanks Elliot!

This is exactly how I recognise chord moves. Superb video.

I love these ear training videos with relevant songs that we all know

As someone who knows every Beatles song like the back of their hand but not in a technical level this is great.

Really enjoyed that and will be rewatching. Beatles fan since the mid-1960s when I was a little kid.

Hiii, I love your videos so muuuuuuch

Very interesting video. Makes me want to go listen to all those songs.

Cannot wait for Volume 2

Amazing video that you obviously put effort into. I learned more music theory from you than in the class I took at school for it.

Loved this video!

For a band to use all the different types of chords and still make them all sound good is truly a challenge, and yet for them it was easy peasy

These ear training examples have been perfectly timed practice for my Grade 8 Aural in a couple of weeks. Thanks!

I feel like this could become a full on course on learning music theory, and it would work great tbh.

Great tutorial David, you certainly know your Beatles 🎉

Expert!

You are such an amazing young man! I love your videos, what a talent! I am in the first year of a music degree at 37!! I'm hoping to become a tutor, and with your excellent instructions, I started to believe I can x ❤

Strangely, although I have no formal musical education, I find this "secret language" absolutely fascinating! Many thanks for introducing me into another world David...

Love the analogy of IV-iv "sounding" like the sun is going behind the clouds.

illuminating! ive always thought of the "50's" progression as the one four five with the 'relative minor" thrown in but i understand it now as the minor sixth...many people will know it from leonard cohen's song hallelujah

The beatles have been my ear training teachers for the last two years 😄I have a notebook full of their chords specifically for this purpose

I think it is such a distinct advantage when trying to understand music to have such a vast baseline like the beatles discograph… thanking my younger self

That was great I think you could do a lot more Beatles because almost everyone knows their songs and because helps knowing the beat and rhythm.

I'm going against the rule of not commenting before seeing the video, but I'm just so excited and I know it's going to be good ! 😲😁

If you might be trying to establish perfect pitch for yourself, start with Middle C. How do you sing Middle C to yourself? Just sing Paul's opening note ("Hey") from "Hey Jude." How convenient for us all that he starts on Middle C! The key of the song is F, so you can probably "hear" the F major chord easily enough as well.

More beatles ear training please!

I'd love a Ear training with Queen songs. Thanks for the video!

I got your ad on your video that was crazy

I love those videos on chords progression ! It would be nice to have a video analyzing the chords progression by Nirvana, i feel like there are some interesting stuff happening

Great stuff David! I hope you have one of these planned with Radiohead. ;)

This is a great video because The Beatles are well known all around the world, whereas in other videos you tend to go with very obscure sources for anyone who is not from an English speaking country, as if they were the most popular artists ever.

I love how you’re trying to teach people how to recognize courts by changing the key and showing them the first cord than the fifth cord than the fourth cord

The second you played C for the I chord example, I knew it was gonna be Let it be.

Really like the coverage of the non-diatonic chords; II, bIII, III (not covered today), bVI, bVII. Another good Beatles song for bVI is P.S. I Love You.

I've seen a lot of Pink Floyd examples in your videos, they produced fantastic music and I'm also a big fan. So my suggestion for next training is Pink Floyd! 🤩

Thank you very much! It would bevery interesting to repeat something similar with King Crimson' songs.

Part of why V7 wants to resolve to I so much, is because its 7 note brings in a IV-ish sound. It's as if V7 combines IV and V, heading back to I with extra weight.

Great

I don't have a particular favourite band/artist, but of course undeniably The Beatles is great, everyone simply must agree on it, but maybe Pink Floyd could be that, but when I took singing lessons in Warsaw in 2021 2 of my favourite songs my teacher Katarzyna taught me to sing were no more and less than Yesterday and Let It Be.And additionally that ToneGym is awesome, been using it daily for about 2 years now thanks to some of Your vids in the autumn of 2021 :)

Wow, a beatles video! Nice to see you doing something different... nah just kidding I love these videos. Keep posting :)

Another example of the IV is the plagal cadence ending of She's Leaving Home. It's a IV on the last "bye" then it resolves to I.

Great stuff, David! Is the opening chord of All I've Got To Do the same as the opening one for Oh Darling (or at least close)? That's what I thought the song was going to be.

QUEEEEN EAR TRAINING! omggg yesss or more beatles zepplin heavens.. i'd enjoy Lady Gaga &/or Ke$hs

Great video bro, thanks now i recognize way better chords, you could make a video like this but with Miracle Musical or Tally Hall, they have really good and rare chord progressions

The repeated 6th chords opening "Fool On The Hill" is almost identical to the opening of "Golden Slumbers', to my ear. Also, the rolled augmented chord that opens "Oh, Darling" sounds very similar to the opening of Lennon's "(Just Like) Staring Over."

this but with intervals too would be cool

I love this! Such a fan of your theory and the Beatles so what's not to love! But even though I'm sure you're right about the key - I can't help hearing Love Me Do as if it was in C, with the G leading "home" to C on the word do - if you listen to the low vocal (Lennon) it sounds particularly as if it's coming home. I often like to think of chord IV as being a whole new tonic, that kinda makes the tonic subservient to it - turning it into the dominant of the new key. I think "Love Me Do" exemplifies this principle perfectly, and I for one have often found it a uniquely confusing song to determine the tonic of. "Can't Buy Me Love"'s 12 bar-ish tonic to subdominant progression on the verse is much easier to recognise as a 1-4 than "Love Me Do" IMO... but then that's easy for me to say from my armchair! Wonderful video.

I really enjoyed this. Would like more complex chords, 9, 11 etc and use in jazz. How do you explain lydian, aeolian, phrygian etc modes? (my fave is aeolian with augmented 7th)

She loves you has great examples of 6th and diminished chords.

would be cool to hear you talk about avicci's chord progressions & music sometime.

Sickth

The Beatles Loooove the flat 7. It's used in all sorts of their songs, especially in coordination with the 4 as in hey jude. help from my friends, she said she said, Get Back, Let it be (if you allow for passing tones). I don't know if it has a name, I've heard double plagal cadence but I might be wrong. I love the sound the flat 7 gives it. Maybe Paul just loves mixolydian who knows

I love your channel, great video! Just an unrelated question. Do you have any tips for how to improve left hand piano technique? I am self-taught and I have always just hammered the base notes or climb up and down at best. When a musical piece has arpeggios on the left hand I am useless, especially if I try to sing at the same time.

Great video. Thanks David. Can you go over the altered and rare chords the Beatles use. Like the 9thchord in Getting Better, flat 9 in I Want You, the Hendrix chord in Taxman, and the Hard Days Night opening chord? Im sure im forgetting others but you get the idea. Greetings from Chicago!

hey massive beatles fan,please do more led zeppelin music related videos thx

_Magical Mystery Tour_ - so underrated! That I - bIII - IV move is just brilliant. _It Won't Be Long_ - Beatles themselves disliked it or called it a "work song" - surely there's another example of bVI?

Hahah awesome 👍 Do one with Radiohead as well, I know you would love to

If you make another video of this sort, discuss the dissonant chords of Harrison’s work. They’re usually not considered pretty, but they illustrate frustration.

Auggg Darling!!

The way I always find middle C if I'm not near a piano is playing the first note of Hey Jude in my head.
