In this tutorial, I teach you how to master chords by ear through structured gospel transcription, focusing on harmonic rhythm, key signature identification, time signature, cadences, diatonic harmony, bass movement, slash chords, inversions, walk-ups, chord progressions, and section analysis. I show you how to trace the bass line, match diatonic chords, apply minor 7ths and add9 tendency tones, and analyze verse, chorus, and bridge structure for accurate chord charts.
