Re: Can't find a way to improve my ear.
I'm not sure where you're at with basic music theory, but a I-IV-V chord progression is a really good one to be able to recognize by ear. There are countless songs that use 3 chords like G (I), C (IV), D (V) where G is the root chord (I) in the key of G. 12 bar blues was something that I learned at an early age and drilled in the concept of a I-IV-V progression. You get a feel for the sound of the intervals between the chords and from there you can start to see how a melody line fits within the shape of the chord progression. Getting a solid feel for the chord progression comes first.
