Perfect Pitch People

[theironfreak]

I know you're out there somewhere in this forum... Come out come out wherever you are...

are you a perfect pitch? reply here if you are.

do state the degree of perfect pitch you have... i wanna know.

haha

 

[letterhead]

erm wrong section bro.

i'm perfect pitched! i can tell the C note and the E note. is that counted? lol.

 

[dir]

are you talking about singing in perfect pitch or having a ear that can discern the erfect pitch?

are you talking about singing in perfect pitch or having a ear that can discern the erfect pitch?

well... both. that's what i mean when i say "degree of perfect pitch"... like err maybe u r perfect pitch to the extent that u can only recognise... or maybe u can sing... i dunno. haha i only noe i can do both

oh and... i'm rather new here please educate me which section this kind of bullshiting posts go into

 

[Jiterator]

i'm super intrigued by how people develop perfect pitch.. is there a certain method to train yourself to get perfect pitch?

 

[tim098]

i can recognise an F note easily. heh. I think i have a relatively excellent ear, and im a drummer. haha

 

[theironfreak]

i dunno man... for me it just happened... i just somehow found out one day that i could recognise pitches without reference... i dunno whether i was born with it or if i had somehow aquired it when i was young...

do you think perfect pitch can be aquired or trained? or is it inborn?

 

[Against The Enemy]

perfect pitch can be trained or born with...but mostly people are born with it..to develop it may takes months..maybe years

 

[Cheez]

Oh no! Not another perfect pitch thread!

Technically speaking, there's is no "degree" to perfect pitch. If you can't tell all the notes, you don't have perfect pitch. Hence the term "perfect".

However, studies did show perfect pitch to lose it's accuracy over the years as one age. My perfect pitch went out about half a semi-tone (quarter tone) last time I tried and shocked me - had to "re-tune" my ears at that time. Must be my age...

Good of you to have perfect pitch. But we perfect pitchers should be careful not to be too proud. Like any skills, if it's not put into good use, it's as good as useless (and as somebody said in another perfect pitch thread...it's just another party-trick).

And yes, I believe it can be trained to a certain extent. But it's not crucial if one doesn't have it. Relative pitching is still the most important (and easily acquired).

Hmm, how can an average person acquire this magnificent skill?

 

[tim098]

memorise the sound of one note, and use it relatively to gauge other notes. I can EASILY recognise an F because last time when i learnt piano there was this song which started with an F and the note had so much bass in it it was so beautiful i just memorised it instantly. hasnt failed me since. haha. Im not sure if thats considered perfect pitch or relative pitch.. ahh.. got good ear can already lah

 

[ruixist]

haha yeah it's like how i tune my guitar because i memorised the E note.

[Raistmar]

I heard you have to anchor a colour for every note, but how exactly do I do that? are there any particular way of 'assigning' colours for every note?

haha great, looks like i only have relative pitch. haha. and I thought i was someone who could be on heroes or something

 

[Dime]

i have no f**king idea myself man.but my ear seem to do what its suppose to do tho.oh hell...

 

[theunknown]

say what?? cant hear??

ok i really cant recognise notes. i cant tune my guitar. not even close. blame me listening too much....er..er..

 

[Gracia]

I have a friend who can figure out songs without the help of tabs at all. If I'm not mistaken he can't even read tabs. And I'm referring to songs like melodic/symphonic death metal with all that long long solos. Is that counted as perfect pitch?

 

[Raistmar]

I can figure out songs with my guitar (like single notes), tho its not always in the right key, so I suppose I some how have a lower level of relative pitch.

 

[kerplunk182]

i've figured out the notes+chords for a few songs withut going for the band's gigs. Then i went for gigs and saw he chords that they played and they were the same.
Oh and i can tune my guitar without a tuner most of the time. Is that counted as relative or perfect?
