New "Chord Profile" vids posted, new perfect pitch course found

I posted a playlist called "Chord Profiles" on my youtube page, youtube.com/kristinparkermusic
You'll a hear a chord and then a little melody that makes use of that chord. Listening to stuff like this has helped me with my ear training.

I'm also excited about http://www.pitchpaths.com
Cheap, so far effective perfect pitch course.

I spent an hour or two trying to record 12 bars . . . there was a bend in every bar and I want every bend to be perfectly in tune . . . still haven't gotten it yet.

I read about Marian McPartland, the great jazz pianist and someone was commenting on how fantastic her ears are. I'm spending most of my time working on ear training because I believe that all the greats just hear more than the average person does. And, maybe it's just wishful thinking, but I think all this ear training stuff can be learned. Some people are born with more to start with, for sure, but practice makes perfect.

So here's to ear training!

I'm also working on memorizing scales on the guitar by range. I now know where to quickly find the lowest scale for every key on the guitar. Some of those scales appear in multiple places, but I got it covered. Most scales are represented by three octaves. As soon as I get the location of all three octaves for every key nailed I will buckle down and get the youtube education vids up in earnest.
