  1. I made this excel spreadsheet for working through L&MG. I print a page off for each week and can quickly mark down the BPM I'm at in the box, or make notes like specific chord changes I'm trying to speed up in the note column. This helps me not waste time remembering what BPM I'm at, or isolate areas I should concentrate on next practice session. Having limited time I wanted to make sure I could keep my learning moving forward and easily keep track of my progress in a way that wouldn't take a lot of time during my practice sessions. Also this allows me to see areas that improved or didn't over the weeks and months. I find it is good to remind myself there is still improvement even if it is only small when I have been stuck on a session for awhile. I'm sure you could change the line descriptions to anything if you are interested in using the template as it follows the approach Steve discusses in the video even if you aren't following the L&MG course.

  2. Thanks, Mandy. I had a song list with ascending intervals, but not with descending ones, so now I have both. To test myself, I am using the app "Ear Trainer" from Justinguitar on a regular basis. It takes a while indeed. Wim.

  3. Ian, you are missing a major 3rd. I have a few (rising) intervals I have come to rely on, based on songs used when I started playing recorder or films I like. I have three gaps so I have work to do! Here are mine: Minor 2nd: 1st and 2nd notes of Pink Panther Major 2nd: 2nd and 3rd notes of Happy Birthday Minor 3rd: 1st and 2nd notes of Greensleeves Major 3rd: 1st and 2nd notes of the hymn Once In Royal David's City Perfect 4th: 1st and 2nd notes of Amazing Grace Tritone: - Perfect 5th: 2nd and 3rd notes of Scarborough Fair Minor 6th: - Major 6th: 1st and 2nd notes of My Way Minor 7th: - Major 7th: 1st and 3rd notes of Somewhere Over The Rainbow Octave: 1st and 2nd notes of Singin' In The Rain

  4. There is a really cool tip in the February issue of 'Guitarist' magazine which is to memorise the sound of a musical interval (eg Minor third, Perfect fifth, Octave etc) using a reference tune/song that you know really, really well. It suggests the following, do you have other suggestions or ones that you use? Minor 2nd: first two notes of intro to Jailhouse Rock Major 2nd: first two notes of Silent Night Minor 3rd: first two notes of Smoke on the Water Perfect 4th: first two notes of Auld Lang Syne Tritone: first two notes of The Simpsons theme Perfect 5th: second and third notes of Twinkle Twinkle Little Star Minor 6th: third and fourth notes of The Entertainer Major 6th: first two notes of My Bonnie Lies Over the Ocean Minor 7th: first two notes of the Star Trek theme Major 7th: first two notes of the chorus of Take on Me by A-Ha Octave: first two notes of Somewhere over the Rainbow

  5. I took a leap of faith and made a quick trip to Guitar Center over lunch and picked up one of these. Very anxious to try it out, but I probably won't get to until Saturday.

  7. I find this site very good. I am using their program, it is a slow process for me?. https://www.earmaster.com/products/free-tools/interval-song-chart-generator.html

  8. Probably should have tuned his guitar before that chord @ 3:42! Some great rock tones in there. Sheesh, I just looked up the price. What a great value, too! Congrats!
