Common Melodic Shapes Lesson (why playing music by ear is easier than you think)

Most songs you hear on the radio use the same melodic shapes and chord progressions as each other. In fact there's just 5 notes that make up most melodies.

001. 'Fixed Key Learning' Explained (the secret to playing music by ear)

Discover why most musicians never learn to play music by ear, and the one tweak to your practice that makes all the difference.Julian shares how he learned to play music by ear by doing something counter intuitive - instead of 'practicing in all 12 keys' as we're often taught, he decided to double down on ONE key, which he focused on and studied for 2 years. During this time he learned to play music by ear very quickly, since he transcribed every song in the same key.

ESPAÑOLES EN LOS 80`s En los años 1980 el rock español fue influenciado por el new wave y el punk, surgiendo un movimiento conocido como "La Movida madrileña"; este movimiento, en el que, a modo de cajón de sastre, se aglutinó a grupos no tan sólo madrileños, y no estrictamente ligados a el, se corresponde con un período de gran creatividad en la cultura popular española, a todos los niveles; mientras los grupos emergían sin cesar, y se prestaba atención, quizá por primera vez, a la escena underground, el fenómeno creativo se extendía también al cine, el cómic, la fotografía; así se relacionaron con el movimiento Cineastas como Pedro Almodóvar y fotógrafos como Alberto García-Alix. En el campo del cómic, publicaciones como Totem o Cimoc se hacían eco de la cultura del rock, potenciando su lado fantástico y onírico. La "Movida", fue muy promocionada por la administración local madrileña, en aquel momento regida por "el viejo profesor" Tierno Galván; es muy recordada su polémica frase al respecto a la apertura de un concierto; "¡Rockeros: el que no esté colocado, que se coloque... y al loro!"; asimismo se recuerda en relación a este período el programa dirigido por Lolo Rico "La Bola de Cristal", un espacio televisivo profundamente iconoclasta, vinculado a la cultura del momento y en el que aparecían haciendo cameos y celebradas actuaciones musicales artistas como Loquillo, Alaska o Juan Perro. Se pueden mencionar asimismo los locales de referencia de la "Movida", locales desaparecidos como el Rockola, o el todavía vigente "Penta", mencionado en la canción de Nacha Pop "Chica de ayer; el paso del tiempo ha acabado por mitificar estos puntos de reunión de la Movida Madrileña, y los ha hecho permanecer en la memoria colectiva como eternamente vinculados a la época que los vio nacer.
