I didn't answer the question fully.  Back to the drawing board. I know that if you are going to the four, you use a 2-5-1 of the four, but I didn't hear that.  I will listen for it.

I keep hearing the 1-3-6 so why am I not hear what some of the others are hearing. I just don't hear the other progressions at all. This going to be tougher than I thought. O.K. pride is out the window I need help.

Guys, after you post your answers go head and pick up your bass and play along with the song. Take your time and listen as you play along. Be one step behind the song as you play along so you can hear what's going on in the song.

First make sure your bass is tuned. Now just listen to piano part during the verse of the song. listen to that part over and over again. Now pick up your bass and play along with the piano part staying one step behind the piano part. Play what you think it is and see if that sound matches what you hear the piano player is doing.... WAIT A MINUTE!! PICK UP YOUR BASS AND PLAY THE 1-3-6 THEN TELL ME WHAT NOTES YOUR PLAYING!  ::)

Best I can hear is a 1-7-6 in Bb and up a mnor third to a 1-7-6 in Dd.  Back and forth with the extra 6-7s+ thrown in.

Keep working on your interval shapes and listen to the sound of the: 1 to the 3 and the 1 to the 6(high 6 and low 6) and the 1 to the 4 and the 1 to the 5 and the 1 to the 7 ( high 7 and low 7) and the 1 to the 8 and the 1 to the 2.  take your time and listen to the shapes, listen,LISTEN, LISTEN, YOU WILL START TO HEAR IT!  :o ...YES YOU WILL!

Most of what i learned about the number system, adding color to a simple bass line and "how to listen for the numbers in a chord progressions I learned from you.

Thank you!

POP QUIZ!!  >:(, ;D just two questions. This song has two sets of progressions that we're working on. Question #1 listen closely and name the progressions. DON'T USE YOUR BASS, USE YOUR EARS! The song has two parts to it, the verse and the chorus they both have the same progressions they just change keys. Question #2 what's the interval shape of the key change? where does it go, to the 4,5,b5 etc... sing the intervals and tell me what's the number it goes to.

Listen closely to the piano in the verse, you can hear the progressions ( numbers) very clearly... That's the whole song, you should be able to play this whole song in your head by numbers before you pickup your bass.

When learning a song you want to listen to the keyboard/organ/piano player for your progressions and listen to the drummer for the groove. ;) !

PS: POST YOUR ANSWERS BETWEEN NOW AND  09/12/12     
MOV4A0
The answer is 1-7-6 and 2-5-1 in the key of Bb, then it change keys. The interval shape of the key change is a flat 3rd ( minor 3rd ) Db! then its 1-7-6 and 2-5-1...in Db!

When transcribing songs for ear training don't chose difficult material. Begin with simple songs and develop from there. Traditional gospel music is a good place to start, you can hear the progressions very clearly. With contemporary gospel the progressions are there but it's a little harder to hear because of all the different chord tones that's being used.  ;)   

Thank all you guys for the feedback on the lessons, those that post and those that send me a pm ( about 10 others) glad to know that these lessons are helping you.  :)
