Congrats @Noah Latsch for winning the Golden Ears Award!
Hey guys, just a question on sus2 and sus4 chords, I find them quite difficult to tell apart. Personally I try to mentally take apart the notes which takes quite some time, or feel out where the tonal cluster is and flip a coin.

Does anyone have any tips on this, or it's just a matter of practice?

Thanks!

These are tough, I will say on chordelius ot helped me to use the compare after you get them wrong to help you tell the difference.

What Sebastian mentioned was my problem, I was getting the notes right but not in the right order. Also, hearing the character was tough for me, but eventually a combination of listening for character/figuring out what notes were in the chord got me past those levels in chordelius.

I get them 90% of the time wrong. Cannot for the sake of my life and the life of my children to figure that one out.

I would say get familiar with the sound of a M2 and P4 against its root. The better you get at hearing those, start to add M2 and P4 against its root and major 3rd.

I break things up into smaller chunks if the whole is to difficult.

Good for you!!
Hey, tonegym can't credit me for watching some of the lectures because I get a message that the publisher has blocked them in my country (lectures 9 and 10). This happens when I try to watch the lectures on the Tonegym website. However, after manually entering the lecture titles in the YouTube search bar, I can find them and watch them directly on YouTube without any problems.

Will I be able to complete the program on the tonegym website without officially watching these two lectures? (And maybe some others I haven't gotten to yet.)

I waited a day, but it still hasn’t come up. Do I need to fully watch all the videos?
Most band fights don’t start where people think they do.
Every band says the music matters most… until someone shows up late again.

The Debate: What causes more arguments in a band: ego or timing? Not rhythmic timing: actual lateness to practice, rehearsal, and sessions.

Is the real problem big personalities and control issues, or people not respecting the clock and wasting everyone’s momentum?

Why It Matters: Strong musicianship means nothing if the group can’t build trust and consistency. Team Ego or Team Timing? Why?
