songs for chord identification
does anyone know of any tricks for id-ing chords? either when the chords are played 'broken up' one note after the other or when they're just played normal. Thanks.

Chords are intervals, so first you have to learn this.
If you can identify intervals, then you can identify arpeggios (what you call "broken up" is named apeggio). An arpeggio is just a string of intervals, like a short melody, identify the first interval, then the next, and keep doing it for all the intervals in the arpeggio.
Identifying chords, is the same as identifying arpeggios, but you are hearing all the intervals together, and you have to be able to hear them separately. Although you are heraring all together, try to listen only the lowest tone, then the next, and identify the interval, then the next and identify the interval and so on.
After some practice, the sound of the most used chords (major, minor, 7th, etc) will stick in your ear, and you will identify them without thinkink wich intervals are you hearing.
There isn't any trick, either you can do it, or you can't.
