I really love your videos as I always hated interval training, because I identity chords by tone from the beginning of my musical journey. The is the issue I have currently, how do I hear nondiatonic notes and chords. I have improved on this outside scoring songs, but when it comes to identifying them in songs I'm a bit shaky

I can't offer a specific advice since I don't know your situation well enough. Usually when you have great tonal skills and can identify chords by ear seamlessly in simple tonal music, non-diatonic notes and chords jump out immediately and they usually are not a serious issue. I guess my question for you is: what's your situation on simple tonal music? Can you recognize any chords and notes very quickly there, almost without thinking?

Very useful advice. Thank you

Thank you!

There’re many chords that can be build on any scale degree, do we have to learn the feeling each chord type in each scale degree? And many major chords in some major scale degrees involve the notes of minor scale, what about that?

Start out by recognizing the 7 basic triads included in the tonality. When you got them the others usually aren't much of an issue.

Do you mean the ones that only includes the major notes for every note of the chord?

That's good video. Thank you! Keep it up! In my experience bass line or melody sometimes can change the feeling of the chords degree. And even rhythm also as Treasure by Bruno Mars let's say for example....

Hi Alex, yes I agree that the bass line has a huge impact on the feeling of the chords. Indeed, on a perceptual level we can say that "changing the bass note = changing the entire chord", we take this into account in our method.

What did you expect to see? Did you want to see what happens in my brain when I recognize chords by ear? That's quite hard to see, I'm trying to explain that in words so you can understand. That's the point of this video. Playing something won't make "how I think when recognizing chords by ear" clearer.
