My poor old ears could certainly do with a brush up on that.

On the subject of improvising a solo,would like opinions, if it's mainly the done thing when doing a solo in the middle of a song, to either use the chords of the verse or chorus to solo over, or can a person just go off in any direction if it sounds good and appropriate to do so.

Thanks

Musiclover, yes there ear training in Band-in-a-Box but I am using a app that I can put on my phone and do my ear training while I am walking the dog in the afternoon laugh

Here is the app







As far as improvising over the verse or the chorus. I think you can improvise over either chorus or the verse but when I am jamming with other musicians I generally find that the other musicians revert more easily to the chorus chords (maybe because they are easier to remember and repeat?)
