Learn how to recognize chord types, intervals, and chord progressions by ear, just like a — dare we say it? — musician. Fred gives you the theory and exercises you need to improve your listening skills and know what you're listening to. With a trained ear, you can learn songs more easily and play them in any key. Lead guitarists: you'll be better able to improvise solos when you understand and can recognize different chord progressions. Good for songwriters, too. Knowing music theory is one thing, but hearing and feeling it is a whole lot better.
