Now, on to today's episode.

Now, you've probably heard the advice before that you

should try as much as possible to learn jazz standards by ear. And also, it's a great idea to

learn jazz solos and other elements of jazz improvisation by ear, because that's really what

the style lends itself best to as far as learning how to improvise goes.

And maybe you've gone through the process of learning melodies by ear and found that a challenge,

but eventually got to the place where you could do that.

But when it comes to learning chords and chord progressions by ear from recordings,

it seems like an almost impossible task.

So in today's episode, what I want to do is go through a

process with you of learning a jazz tune, learning chord progressions by ear and show you how

I would go about doing it if I was a complete beginner. Coming up. Welcome to the LJS podcast,

where you get weekly jazz tips, interviews, stories, and advice for becoming

a better jazz musician.
