Self-Guided Ear Training Tips for Classical Guitar Beginners

Hello everyone,

   As someone relatively new to classical guitar and music in general, I'm looking for advice on how to enhance my ear training abilities. This includes developing relative pitch, recognizing chord progressions, and discerning sharps and flats, among other skills.

If you could share any exercises or resources, I would appreciate it.

Up until now, I've been using a web application for ear training called [***some product I’m spamming every music related forum with ***], which has proven to be quite effective. However, it primarily focuses on vocal exercises and may be more useful for singers. Thank you in advance!

    Functional Ear trainer, I still use the older version, they're basic interval guessing exercises, but it's good, no ads and works on a pc.

    The latest versions might be good too, but I've not used them.

    There's also Toned Ear, a free online ear trainer.  Maybe not as comprehensive as some resources, but will keep most people going for a long time.

    Calm down, it’s https://tonedear.com/




    Actually, just been playing with tonedear. I think it's excellence; progressions, intervals, intervals in context, notes within a key, it's got everything and it's really simple, and free on the PC.

    Agreed.  There are limitations (eg chord progressions are strictly major key and diatonic) but I haven't got to the point of feeling restricted by them and it's excellent for the ground covered.
