RE: Intervals (was Mastery (Learning by Ear))

["Smith, Richard" <rismith@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

When tuning a guitar by ear, I use "sail-ing, sail-ing", 
and "swing-low" [as in sweet chariot] to match the 2 different 
intervals between the open strings.  I believe that "sail-ing"
is a 4th; but what would you call "swing-low"?  Do you think 
of it as a flat 6th (from B to G)?  Or since the interval is
downward in pitch, do you think of it as a 3rd in reverse 
(from G to B in reverse)?

I used to have a whole sheet of intervals, when I took voice lessons.  I'll
have to dig it out if I can find it. I do remember the octave. As in
"Some...where" over the ranbow.

Well I can't find the sheet.  But I did find this website.  Musical
Intervals Tutor.

http://www.musicalintervalstutor.info/

Check it out.  It has song references for various intervals.  It also has a
test you can take to see how many you can recognize.  I'll admit, I only got
15 out of 25.  But it also tells you which intervals you need to focus on.
This should be a handy tool for learning intervals.
