Hey people, does anyone have a list of contemporary (less than 20 years old )pop or rock songs that can be used for identifying intervals. The Earmaster help page has a list but I'm not familiar with alot of them. I realise that many pop and rocksongs may not employ the harmonic ideas of some of the jazz type tunes and therefore may not even have some of these intervals but I'm not familiar with 'When Israel was in Egypts land' ~ minor 6 or 'Somewhere' Westside Story, minor 7 etc . Any suggestions, or will I have to find these old tunes and memorize them 8-o
Great idea, Frambo!
EarMaster didn't keep in mind that not everyone can know all the intervals that they suggest in the Help file. So it would be great if we (all the users of this forum) would each suggest its own example for an interval (recent song, of course), and one that would be generally well known (Red Hot Chili Peppers, Maroon 5, Madonna, Coldplay, U2, Nelly Furtado, something like that...). Everyone should feel invited to suggest a melody or a song.
It would be great to have intervals listed in one post that would later be edited to fit new examples. This could be that post. For star, here's one example:
Major third: Red Hot Chili Peppers "Under the Bridge"
Wish granted!
I just opened a topic dedicated to interval listing.
Go to General Discussion/Interval Examples and on with the listing. I guess this will be useful for everybody, and rather fun!
Hey, how about listing not just intervals, but also chords (major, minor, sus2 and sus4, dim and aug), and perhaps even more important - chord progressions that can be found in popular songs?
That's a really good idea Bojan!
I think we'll just create a whole Room in the forum for this kind of voluntary participation! Let's hope people we'll be as active as they've been until now
